This has the cameras for the stadium, but I don't know how often they update it.

Wow...must be a bigger project than I thought, but then what do I know. Lots of dirt being moved. So looking forward to the completion for 2019 season and upcoming season. Even though we live in Otisville, a couple of buddies and I are thinking of investing in season tickets. We love us some baseball.
those pictures are very old, much further along now, they have the central building behind home plate framed and are completing the stonework, and the left field stands and steel has been erected.
Lots of progress lately. I have thought about taking some pix while driving by, but there’s still not a lot that looks like anything you’d recognize. It won’t be long for some major structural additions to be made.
If they don’t, they are missing the boat on fan participation. Some of the best times I have ever had at a baseball game was on that deck. We even duplicated the idea at our high school, and it became a huge hit.
The renderings UK has released suggest that the area beyond the entire outfield wall will be accessible by fans . Appears that the ground level of the area behind the outfield walls will effectively be at or above the top of the outfield walls. Some areas shown as a wide concrete sidewalk, with some grass areas shown as well.
Surely UK has a plan for a fan friendly area for those students and other fans who like to stand and socialize during games like those who have congregated on the Cliff since that feature was added. In particular, hopefully UK has a plan for the students. I went to an LSU @ Ole Miss game a few years ago in Oxford, and the atmosphere there was absolutely incredible - 10k in attendance. Because of the way they did their seating, left field was a terraced area (similar to what you see down the right field line in UK's renderings and construction camera shots) that was open seating with fans able to bring their own chairs and coolers in (with beer, for those so inclined). Right field was the raucous student area, packed with students, and that was set up in a way that allowed students to have beer (in solo cups) as well -- you would see "beer showers" with kids chucking their solo cups in the air when Ole Miss hit a home run. There was a kid friendly area as well.

Sure hope coach is successful and UK can keep him around a long time...seems like a great guy!
My son sent me pics of what I'm assuming are latest pics of the stadium and they are making major progress...looking great. PLAY BALL! I would post them here , but I have no clue how to do it. Sorry
