    We have seven home games before we play Pepperdine.

    Almost all season tickets were renewed and outfield bleachers will be added in right field before the season starts.

    I can't wait to see the new Intimidator! :tigbas:

    I'm assuming it will be but haven't seen anything official. They're putting bleachers in right field so it would have to be in...right center?

    It looks like it's going to be in right, behind the new set of bleachers. The billboard isn't there yet, but the column for it is set up already.

    I guess it will be set up behind the bleachers like the score board in left.

    I wish they would put it down the third base line and make it large enough to block the sun. :thumb: (I love my seats at night but some day games are brutal.)

    I thought they would have the sign up for the opening game but maybe they're waiting for a big series...like the SEC opener.
