I've seen some pictures, it doesn't look like it was quite ready for this season, but it looks like a great stadium. Let me see if I can find those pics again.

Y'alls looks great. I used to live on Bull street right next to the old one so that I could just walk to all the games. It was great.

Thanks man. Yeah, It took a while, but I have to give props to our Administration for putting that together. They have a Waterfront Park planned to go along side it beside the river too. Not sure when that is going to take place though. It really is a first class facility and probably will be for a long time.
