Lindsey Nelson Stadium,

Thanks for the photos. That wood underneath the overhang is a nice touch.

Hopefully they’re coming back, but they’ve painted over the “Tennessee“ that was above the first base dugout and the “Volunteers“ that was above the third base dugout.
Yes. Thanks, @fryeguy93. Lotta changes since you and I were eating Tony D’s 7th inning pizza on a Tuesday out there in what was “state of the art” at the time.

I really like the vibe. The wood overhangs are retro enough to give character. The seats are close enough to give passion. Only thing I don’t really like is the bunker down the RF line,(but it has been there onv enough now that I saw Derek Dooley watching games there.)

This looks like a cool place to watch a game. I am bring the younger two boys in to see Wright St v. it in March. (Older boy chose Chapel Hill, he can live wihh the that decision.)

Between LNS and the new Smokies stadium, which is fantastic, Knoxville has some really great baseball vibes right now, and the classic feel of both stadiums will keep that coming.

Now, to make 3 million over the next 15 yrs. so I can buy a condo and watch E Tn baseball the rest of my days. (Between mission trips, of course.)

GBO!
 
I have a white hard hat for my job that I put stickers and stripes on that looks better and was far cheaper

Was just about to say the same thing.

3M makes an orange electrical tape I've used a lot over the years that makes a great stripe and you can get decals from anywhere. I've always kept mine once they expire so they've got a nice patina to them now...
 
Same but zero chance Danny White doesn’t sell the naming rights. $$$$
The naming rights at stadiums and arenas is getting over the top. Probably be Dollywood Field at Buc-cees Stadium and then each base, the pitchers mound, each foul territory, and right field wall, center field wall, and left field wall will each have naming rights. Oops, I forgot the press box and parking lot.

Could do something similar to what they did with Neyland; it is officially "Neyland Stadium preserved by Pilot", you could call the baseball stadium "Lindsey-Nelson Stadium presented by First Horizon Bank" or something like that

I think that was reserved solely for the hallowed and sacred grounds of Neyland Stadium. Maybe they will do a “TBA like” Horizon Bank Park at LNS and eventually LNS fades away. I hope that’s not the case but in the NIL Revenue Share era, this is unfortunately the way.

Pickoffs by Pal’s.
Doubles by Dollywood
First Base by First Horizon
 
There are still people out there wearing masks…religiously. Without a doubt, the personal protection dropped the infection rate, for all viruses. Flu dropped off the map…
I’m not going to advocate pro or con for masks, but any kind of mechanical barrier is going to alter infection rates. It’s purely common sense.

I’m all for the idea of a Buc-ee’s sponsorship. Give me a giant orange and white beaver head smack dab over the entrance to the beautiful grounds at Buc-ee’s Ballpark with Beaver Nuggets and Beef Jerky sold all around the stadium.
