Stanley Coveleski stadium, South Bend, Indiana

The stadium dates back to 1987, but the new renovations were last winters project. Well some are nice others are a step backwards.

The part I hate is their installasation of field turf. I hate field turf. It has been half a year and it already looks like shit.  The infield is turf with sliding pits around the bases.

From the bleachers in is basically the same. The outfield is really nice, the scoreboard was moved from left center to right center. It is also a nice big video board. You can walk all the way around the outfield now.

The biggest change is that they moved most of their sovienior stuff to a renovated senigod just beyond the left field foul pole. It is a whole lot better than their whole in the wall spot behind the plate, which is still there.

They yook a lawn section out of left field and it is now a group picnic area.  From the left fielf pole to left center is now a nice bleacher section.  After that is a lawn area, behind that is a huge kiddie play area. There also is a great new entrance to the ballpark from centerfield. It has some pictures of former players and a pic of Stanley Coveleski.

The other new thing is they added a level of suites behind home plate. I reaaly really like what they did with the scoreboard. It gives a ton of info and is constantly updated.
