Questions/comments/opinion soliciting on TSP

I posted this as a comment to Chip's latest softball article but wanted to repost here to solicit thoughts on TSP:

It was great to see a large crowd there for the Saturday game - hopefully as word continues to spread about how special this team is along with some (hopefully) nice spring weather, this can be a regular thing as these gals deserve that! Living out west, I regrettably have never been to a game at TSP and so I am completely unfamiliar with the stadium other than the few pictures I have seen here and what Chip has described as well. Looking at the picture in this article taken from center field looking towards home plate, man those press boxes sure look "drab"!! I am no architect but it sure would be nice to see that whole area spruced up, especially with some Hokie stone. Also, having never been to any other NCAA softball park, I have no idea what "nice" is but it sure would be nice to make our stadium look to be one of the best/nicest in the NCAA (to match the team!). I would be curious to hear other's thoughts on the "state of our stadium" and what it would take to make it "nice".

Seats are okay. Upper level of stadium needs upgraded. Need cost estimate. ** -- william floyd 03/21/2022 2:33PM

You are 100% correct in that the press box needs upgraded. -- william floyd 03/21/2022 2:06PM

Agree, I guess my point was not so much to make press folks more comfy -- gelded turkey 03/21/2022 7:00PM

There is more in press box than the press... -- HokieJack 03/21/2022 8:26PM

That is exactly what South Carolina has done -- VTChip 03/21/2022 9:37PM
