Here are the pictures I made...

of the architects' drawings for the left field stands. Some of the things Dan mentioned haven't been designed yet, so this is incomplete, but it'll give you an idea of at least part of the program.

Awesome man!


Feb 17, 2008, 9:06 PM

Thanks! It would have been WEEKS before Clemson got those drawings out to the public.

I am so excited about these additions!!!

I don't see Cheap Seats on the architect's rendering....

obviously an oversight.

Well, the days of Clemson being a small back woods school are over. And same goes for IPTAY standing for I Pay Ten A Year.

These are the cold hard facts. And with college atheletics being ever more competive, and with college scholarships being even more expensive; I don't see "cheap seats" being an option for any school.

Are they taking out the set of permanent bleachers on...


Feb 17, 2008, 9:33 PM [ in reply to Here are the pictures I made... ]

the 3rd baseline?

What does the B and C on the stadium picture stand for?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The temporary bleachers...


Feb 17, 2008, 9:40 PM

at the ends of the existing stands would be removed since those stands will be extended and they won't be needed. The drawings show stands all the way to the ends of the dugouts. I'm not sure what the B & C are and I'm also not sure what the structure is behind the Clemson dugout.

A, B, C, and D represent the detail views.


Feb 17, 2008, 10:34 PM

Your pictures show everything that you need to know.

A, B and D are shown in the detail drawing of the expansion. C is nothing more than the concessions area to be built into the rear of the visiting side.

Hate to be Debbie Downer about this, but what's the deal


Feb 18, 2008, 6:36 AM

with the new practice field behind the batting cages. Isn't that where motor home parking is for football. A friend of mine has a numbered motor home spot right behind the right field line. Sorry, but I'm just getting a little tired of Iptay asking for more money and eliminating more and more parking every year.

So you're upset that a FRIEND may lose his space.***

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.


Yes, because I tailgate with him!!!***

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I guess getting your own space is out of the question.***

heat, and a bathroom. Any other questions smart@$$?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I'm sorry you feel personally inconvenienced.....


Feb 18, 2008, 10:16 AM

by the construction of some badly needed and well deserved additions to Clemson's baseball facilities. If that makes me a smarta$$, then so be it.

I guess you missed my original point, which was this-


Feb 18, 2008, 10:31 AM

"I'm just getting a little tired of Iptay asking for more money and eliminating more and more parking every year". This will impact a lot more than myself. Not only will my friend be moved, but so will a lot of other people. They'll all be moved somewhere else, which will in turn cause other people's parking to be moved. I know it's important to upgrade our facilities so we can stay among the best facilities in the country. However, Iptay seems perfectly content to keep asking for more money while they keep eliminating parking. I just hope they've done the most they can to minimize the impact on parking, but I have my doubts.

I would rather have top notch teams than top notch parking


Feb 18, 2008, 10:50 AM

but hey, thats just me.

Having to restructure parking assignments.....


Feb 18, 2008, 10:52 AM [ in reply to I guess you missed my original point, which was this- ]

because of demand and the continued improvement of our athletic facilities is NOT a bad thing. Sure it's a little inconvenient but there is a much bigger picture here to be considered.

I agree we need to continue to improve our facilities.


Feb 18, 2008, 11:14 AM

I don't think Iptay worries about how some of these changes will affect their donors. After all, these upgrades are made possible by their generous donations. Clemson is well known for it's great tailgating. I just don't want that to disappear with all of these continuous improvements.
