I hope TCU upgrades Lupton soon. The over flow crowd was great but the seating area for the general admission is terrible. I know the situation was a unique one but I hope a plan exists for better viewing for the overflow crowds in the future.
Need to put in seating down the first base line.
Understand your sarcasm…I think. But, I don’t care for diced onions and if the beer is cold and taste like beer, I’m happy. However, I would like to has seat to put my fat ass in…but is that as critical and have the same roi as adding diced onions to the concession stands and a better beer selection?
We have fans hanging off the rafters to set attendance records and you think double wide concourse walking space is the #1 need?Seating is not an issue for 99% of games IMO. Most games during the season have plenty of open space.
Expansion of the concourse for walking purposes would be #1 fan improvement. It was the best thing about the AGCS renovation. Not sure the space for that is possible without a complete tear down?
I can’t speak for the GA areas because I was in my seats. But considering the sheer size of the crowd, I though they did a great job trying to minimize wait times. I only missed 1 inning taking my kid to the bathroom and loading up snacks, and that’s mostly because she decided that was a good time to drop a duece.
The school could have capped GA tickets at whatever number they wanted.We have fans hanging off the rafters to set attendance records and you think double wide concourse walking space is the #1 need?
I’ll have what you’re drinking this morning…
Charlottesville. UVACan’t remember where this was - one of the super sites. Maybe something similar. Seats down the first base line, but keep the right field party berm out there. It’s a fun spot when it’s packed.
I’ve always thought that would be a good location for a new baseball stadium. When or if it happens? Who knowsIn a perfect world, Coach Saarloos wants a new stadium where the intramurals are right now (with a slightly different N-S-E-W configuration.

It would happen tmmrw if the funding is there. In reality, as much as we all love Lupton, it is a C-USA/MWC stadium (and was built to be the premier of such).How far away do you think this is? 10 years?
Other Texas / SEC schools got at least 30 years out of their stadiums - some more than that.
While I agree that we either need a new stadium or massive upgrades to the current one there is no comparison to be made between Lupton and any of the stadiums in those two leagues with the exception of maybe DBU and Horner only seats like 3,800.It would happen tmmrw if the funding is there.
