Since we had one for the FOC, we might as well have one for this. The process has started.
I noticed today that the holes are being dug for the pole installation out behind the outfield fence. I would have taken a picture, but who wants to see a picture of a hole being drilled!

JDUB and BJ, get out there with your cameras PLEASE: show us some red clay being dug up to make the alumni happy.
And BJ, feel free to interview the constuction crew--we'd love to read some quotes from the workers, JT, or JB.

Just a side note...as an Asheville guy congrats on the lights, haha. I am VERY jealous...and although we do get to see UNCA play about 5-10 games a year downtown in the pro park (which is beautiful) its still not the same as seeing those lights shining on campus. Hopefully we can join you in modernity soon.

I've heard rumors that some of the wiring was run when they put in the baseball building. Is that right?
