That would be an excellent look.

| Very nice, I've been disscussing with some friends lately how 'The Joe' is falling behind with all the projects going on. Those plans look very nice, will they be getting it started this summer?

I really wish they had the funding to start from scratch. A face lift will help, but it will be like putting lipstick on a pig... or like the improvements to Coleman.

While the plans look great and it seems to be a improvemet, I was kind of thinking the same thing honestly. I just didn't want to be the only one.

I'm not blown away.
The approach is different, but other than red&white stripped awning, I can't see any improvements from the street.
There seems to be some sort of plaza injected between the main stands and the third-base bleachers, but that gap has always been the weak point to me and it is only made more noticeable now.
One step forward, two steps backwards.

Upon closer look, question...does it look like they are converting the third-base bleacher section into luxury boxes with seats outside, like the ZONE at BDS?
That adds some to the classiness of the field, but to me is still a small step.

It still would look better than it does now.
