The new UF baseball stadium is nearing completion. The old stadium will be torn down within the next couple of weeks to make way for the new football facility.

In all seriousness it blows my mind how their teams are consistently elite (and won the CWS recently) but they still can hardly fill the current stadium. Not sure why UF fans can't get behind baseball.

Any exterior pics?

It kind of gives off a mega church vibe.

There's not a ton yet, and while the exterior is not too exciting, that may be in part because of the site. I think if it was more public facing it probably would have gotten some more attention, but as it sits it kind of just backs into some ag buildings.

Not bad. Maybe that will move Florida into the top 6 of SEC baseball stadiums.

Damn that does look good. I’ve driven by but haven’t seen the inside.

But the laser show is supposed to rival any that are out there. J/k’n but it would be bad arse.

Yeah I’m surprised they didn’t do some type of awning over the top of the seats.

Going to be just an absolutely beautiful diamond once finished entirely.

They deserve it for what O'Sullivan has put together there

Thanks. Maybe you can stop by sometime and see what a National Championship trophy looks like?

I'm disappointed in The Rant.

No "All 15 fans will be happy." joke?
