    Default Field improvements

    New dugouts are being constructed for the softball team's home at NDSU. Hopefully this is just a first step in bringing that field up to date.

    Are these going to be ground level or the fancier ones dug into the ground with steps and drains and stuff? I'm not even sure what kind do we have now?

    A 3 sided box over the benches with the press box on top of the visitors. So when the visiting team starts pounding on the walls l guess it gets "interesting" upstairs.

    That was the old setup. In fact the press box was removed 2 years ago most likely because they thought it might collapse.

    Not sure about the new design. Maybe someone should walk by before tailgating starts Saturday.

    New dugouts are cinder block style and look a little bigger that the previous ones.Drove by Easter Sunday there is no way they would have been ready for the FHawks game on Wed.

    There was an advertisement for bids in today's paper for a new softball grandstand. I haven't seen or heard any details about what they are planning....

    Sweet! Lets get this done and finally make it look like a true division 1 facility! What are the chances they incorporate the dugouts into the grandstand with locker rooms and all like a true ballpark? I just remembered they upgraded the dugouts already didn't they?

    I haven't seen any plans. For a non revenue sport like softball, I assume upgrades will be made in phases. I've never been to a game before but I have watched on the web. Do they have restrooms and concessions? I've wanted to make a game or 2 but timing never seems to work out.
