When the Boston College athletics department announced its $200 million facilities investment back in February, it was met with incredible excitement. That the Eagles were building an indoor practice facility for football was long overdue, and the announcement that a new baseball stadium would come with it felt like the dawning of a new Birdball era.
Following that announcement, I filed a plea to the athletics department to build the right baseball stadium. I called it a potential game changer, but it's only that way if it's built the right way. That places an emphasis on having artificial turf, on having the right training facilities, and on having the right amenities.
