New SC Baseball Stadium
The new baseball stadium is nearing completion, so on the way to the Auburn game I got a few pictures taken. The season starts February 21, a Saturday, against Duquesne at 2 p.m. (Schedule) Undoubtedly, the Yardcocks should be able to pack the stadium again this year. Apparently, the last couple of years the Gamecocks have been in the top ten in baseball attendance. Despite all the work, the stadium remains unnamed. Some here at Leftover Hot Dog have suggested The Ray. Thoughts?

it is good to have the general back...where you been?
ReplyDeletegood stuff general, can't wait to see the yardcocks playing in the Ray.
ReplyDeleteA lot of crimson in the stadium. Too bad the color is supposed to be garnet.
ReplyDeleteIt looks pretty garnet to me
ReplyDeletethe crimson was done to make a case for smelley to stay but that fell through
ReplyDeleteHaha! It doesn't even have a name yet, so I'm sure we could have figured something out that he would have liked. oh well...
ReplyDeleteBut anyway, my understanding is that garnet is actually somewhere purple and crimson. Though this is pretty close to what we normally use, it is still embarassing when tags on official t-shirts say crimson or cardinal.
