See you there!Puck Frovidence wrote:This is excellent news. The baseball team has made some huge accomplishments recently: They are URI's most recent A10 Champions, and the URI squad that has most recently won games in the NCAA Tournament. This facility deserves an upgrade and I for one will be in the new stands for a game or two if/when they are ready this spring!

I'd still love to see some kind of partnership where the Ocean State Waves move from Old Mountain Field to Bill Beck Field and the organization and university work together for an appropriate ballpark.Uncle Ed wrote:I am impressed by what they done have and plan to do. School needs to invest in a beautiful small ball park - it would be a real asset to URI and the State. It can go slowly and in phases just as the current improvements. Didn't some of the Bond money passed in the Nov election have funds for public improvements? Think Big....We Do!
This is kind of a bummer, was hoping for a decent expansion of seats, not just replacing what they have. Still really good they're getting things done though. I'm sure the radio guys will appreciate an upgrade to the press box! It's been great to listen to the coverage in the past few years but you can often hear that's it's crowded in there. Onward and upward for Rhody Baseball!RhowdyRam02 wrote:Instead of adding seating between the home dugout and the bullpen down the right field line, they'll be replacing the current bleachers behind home plate with new, larger bleachers.
