I for one was super impressed with what Coach Meade had to say. He seems to have some very deep connections with high level coaches in the country, is an experienced recruiter, and emphasized how important recruiting is to him.
Plus, new baseball facilities were announced.

They didn't go into specifics. From the concept images, it looks like it could be more of a "from the ground up." It could go either way, though.

I THINK it is the exact same seating configuration that we currently have, just changes to all chairs instead of bench seating (which will please my wife). LOOKS like they are adding “skyboxes” OR activity/meeting space on the sides of the press box (only structural change I SEE).
EXTERIOR looks like it will be a facade to match the Trojan Arena, North End Zone Building and new Student Activities Building, tying the look of all athletic facilities in that area of campus together.

To me, the concept drawings look like suites added down the baselines at press box level with a new brick facade enclosing the seating area, covering up the currently visible structural steel. Either way, it looks good.

I spoke with Kyle George and the patio area will become the team meeting room(s) on the second floor, coaches offices will move to the new third floor. They are working on a plan that would have construction going on during the season.
