Mississippi State athletic director Scott Stricklin may be leaving Starkville to take the same job at the University of Florida, but that won’t affect MSU’s plans for a renovated Dudy Noble Field Stricklin said in an exclusive interview with the Starkville Daily News on Friday.

“It shouldn’t impact the timeline at all,” Stricklin said. “We’ve still got those plans firmly in place.”

Mississippi State earlier this year announced its plans to break ground in June 2017 on the $55 million baseball stadium. MSU hopes to have enough construction in place by the spring of 2018 to host games.
