The current plans have no indoor batting tunnels. And no locker rooms. Only the BC admin could screw this up.
From BCI:
"But the new stadium doesn’t have indoor batting tunnels or a locker room in its plans. Think about that for a second.
New England baseball teams absolutely, 100% need indoor training facilities; this year’s BC team shoveled out its batting cage in order to take swings before the Virginia series. So I’ll never understand the rationale behind putting the batting cages outdoors. Everyone in the ACC has indoor batting cages, including Pittsburgh, and even the schools who play in warm, tropical climates all year long can swing and pitch in indoor buildings. I’m not asking for what Wake Forest is doing, but you have to have something.
I also can’t really fathom how there isn’t even a locker room in the plans. At Shea Field, a locker room is a walk across the plaza away in Conte Forum. It’s not ideal, but it’s as functional as it can get.
The new stadium is being built on the complete opposite end of campus on a site that’s across the street, on the other side of Comm. Ave. I haven’t figured out yet if the school thinks the players should dress in Conte Forum, take a walk through campus, crossing Green Line tracks in full uniform and spikes, but there’s no way the players can dress at the field."
