Lindsey Nelson Stadium will be the newest athletic facility on campus to receive an upgrade.

The renovations will be done in two phases.

Phase one is scheduled to begin in June and will enhance the stadium for the players and coaches. This phase will include a new clubhouse, locker room, weight room, batting cages, coaching offices and additional seating down the right field line. Phase one is slated to be complete before the 2008 season.

Phase one is estimated to cost 2.5 million dollars.

"This project when it's completed will give us an opportunity to have a facility that will be in the top-five in the Southeastern Conference and one of the best in the country," head coach Rod Delmonico said. "No doubt, that will give us a better opportunity to recruit and get better players. I've always felt that facilities helps your recruiting, and recruiting helps your winning."

Phase two will include resurfacing the field, a new press box, and additional seating down the left field line.

Lindsey-Nelson currently holds 3,712 people on game day. The renovations will bring the stadiums capacity to over 5,000.
