The shade structures they added to Raleighwood over at CF are awesome. They need to add those to the concourses at Doak and it would help tremendously!

It's the construction industry. We don't need no OSHA.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration. I was joking, because in the picture, both guys have the hardhats on backwards (which may or may not be allowed depending on the helmet), the guy sitting on the beam is wearing a safety harness, but there doesn't appear to be a rope attached to it, and the other guy is walking underneath a steal beam that may not yet be secure. I40 is right, it's par for the course in construction, but they can fine you if they catch you.

You see it on jobs sites every day. Most times even worse. I just found out I'm the new safety coordinator at my company. I'm the only person OSHA 30 certified.

Should be someone below the beam steering foot traffic away from the area the work is being done.

Are the roof panels spec'd to withstand fly balls?

For me, the only major bad thing about Doak is the press box. It's embarrassing, and makes the ballpark look 3rd rate when compared to other P4 programs. If they would just get rid of that press box, the rest of the stadium looks good, IMO. Tear that thing out ASAP. I wouldn't even care if we had a press box to replace it, if money is an issue. Just replace it with seats for fans. Then in 5 or 10 years or whenever we can get enough money to build a new press box, then ideally add a press box that is elevated and ~20 feet off the ground and moved back, and maybe add a roof or awning type structure over the stands between first and third.

I generally agree but you have to have a press box it's required by the ACC and certainly the ncaa if you want to host. But the press box and that entire architecture of it is an abomination

The entire Doak Field Renovation dating back to 2004 has been mishandled

We would have been better off showing a very nice stadium and total amount to build and just build in phases every time we raise 10-15M every five years or so. But instead I feel like we wasted 20M to still end up at the bottom of the conference.

Agreed that the press box should be demolished and those functions relocated elsewhere within the stadium to free up prime real estate for the addition of premium seats and amenities! Until then, someone needs to drop by Doak and feed us some updated pictures of the progress being made on Operation Lipstick!

Always thought the press box design was a total misuse of prime seating. We desperately need to add additional seating. We should add temp seating behind the third base line seating. Would love to get the capacity to around 4,500.

Seems pretty simple and not very expensive to put seats on the 3rd base side where the grass hill is.

Stopped by on Saturday (12/6) to see how things are progressing. Just over 10 weeks until the the first home series. Odds that this is completed by then?
