It's been awhile since anyone posted on the new Baseball facility. It's 100% complete and is very very nice.

I keep meaning to snap a photo when we drive past Game Farm Road (a bad name if it makes people think we're in the middle of farm country) but it's not exactly right alongside the highway. Hopefully there will be stately trees at the new sports facility in a decade or two. I wonder if there's room to be buried among the trees, outside the stadium.

It seems perfectly cromulent.

Let's just restart Cornell baseball and call this year 00.

With luck, including great coaches and continued stellar recruiting, and assuming Ithaca weather does its part, there will be a couple of indoor games per year, and the lines to get tickets will resemble those to get season hockey tickets during the late sixties and early seventies.

The early-season games draw a couple hundred people. But I'm unclear if limited seating means 100 or 1,000. If 500 could get in, that might be adequate unless it's a top-five team. Maybe they could put a standing-only deck 10 feet above the playing to get more in. But ... going back to Lynah Rink era, Cornell has gone for cost-effective sports facilities and some would call Cornell cheap.

Connor Buczek '15 AD '30 (my  hope) describes the spectator accommodations as "minimal."

Wrong thread Bill^^^.  Anyway, I too would love to see some photos of the new baseball complex next time someone gets a chance to take a few and post them here.
