Over the last few days I have been noticing that a lot of folks on twitter have been declaring a “funeral” for the Left Field Lounge this weekend. As many of you know, Dudy Noble Field will be undergoing major renovations this off season. The first step in these renovations will be reconstructing the area in the outfield known as the Left Field Lounge.
The Left Field Lounge began in the late 1960s with just a few fans driving their cars and trucks up to the left field fence to watch the games. It quickly evolved into the ultimate tailgating experience across college sports as fans began bringing grills, tables, and coolers full of drinks to their seats in the outfield.
