Upgrade The Doak
it really is alarming how far our baseball facilities have fallen behind. And yet, Avent is still putting top notch teams on the field year in and year out. I don't think he gets near enough credit personally.

Any day now, massive donations are coming that were previously withheld because of that woman.

You hearing anything about improvements?

Would not rule it out. However it's my understanding there was close to $20m raised a few years ago specifically for baseball but it fell through.

If what I'm hearing is true Boo is killing it on raising money to put into our two money sports to take them up a notch.

It's the best example of top-down economics there is. There is more of an opportunity for returns which can be spread to the smaller Olympic type sports.

That was not true.
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

persistent myth perpetrated by all the Yow haters on social media. I'm guessing we will see Bigfoot (another myth) doing the play by play from Doak before we ever see all this money that was supposed to be donated to baseball but for mean ole Debbie Yow...
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.

Only thing the good ol'boy network is good for is sitting around talkin' 'bout the things they'd do if it just wasn't for that woman.

Nice. We're about to fall behind Lenoir Rhyne too. Add them to the list.

I wonder what a canopy like the one at the Holly Springs stadium would cost? May need to extend the seating further down the baselines, but just having a canopy for rain/sun would be a huge improvement.

No improvements needed now that we have beer. Just drink so much you can't feel the sun beating down on you.

Use the extra beer revenue to upgrade the stadium. Shade would be great

Interestingly, in comments to Raleigh Sports Club last Wednesday, Avent was talking about needing a "new stadium", and NOT talking about renovations or improvements to Doak. So maybe the vision has changed? Can't see them getting Wake County hotel tax $$ for an off campus baseball facility, particularly in light of publicly funded USA Baseball facility in Cary. And under current environmental regulations, I know of no site on Centennial Campus that will not run afoul of current buffer rules without really expensive stormwater controls.

all I can say is that Upgrades to the Doak or centennial are what I last heard

How about this?

An anonymous donor donated $60M for @BinghamtonBASE to build a new ballpark. That's incredible.
