[QUOTE=Mr. Bojangles;404655]I remember hearing something about an indoor batting cage facility down the 3rd base line.[/QUOTE]
On campus batting cages wouldn’t hurt my feelings one bit, so long as the public can use them too!
[QUOTE=49RFootballNow;404653]Martin Village is the equivalent of a small apartment complex. I know they’re beat up but it requires considerable manpower resources and equipment usage to demolish them and remove the remains. Its like tearing down run down government projects housing!

I had a family member who took down a 600ish foot steel train bridge spanning a rather sizable river for a similar price. Seems like it’d be a lot easier and cheaper to take down some wooden structures. It’s the equivalent of a very small apartment complex.

University doesn’t do anything on the cheap. Well, that’s what I’d like to think the reason was anyway.:dry:
If anything even close to this plan as far as the commercial development is concerned comes to fruition, I will be ecstatic. That is EXACTLY the type of thing I’ve been saying we need for years, football, "village(s), name change.
whenever I see things like this, it makes me wish I was 10 years younger.
This looks great! It’s exciting to see the university FINALLY making strides towards what we all wanted.

We’re talking about a private contractor dealing with a govt entity. It’s going to cost more than normal.

I believe he was as well. The new bridge was built by the state, so I would assume they would be the ones responsible for hiring someone to demolish the old one. It was in WV though, so its not exactly and apples to apples comparison.
I’ll be the first to admit that this drawing sketches and plans for football stadiums is becoming an addition!
can anyone tell me what would be the purpose of “bridging the campus?” I thought they just meant connecting the two sides together more effectively, but they have an actual bridge in the rendering. I don’t really understand the point.

As an ME, all i can think about is kids in Duke Centennial Hall tinkering with their design project, listening the muffled “FORTY”-“NINERS” chants from across the parking lot.

As a fellow ME, I will be chanting at the game. I can work on projects on Sunday (before/after the Panthers game of course)!:49ers:

Finally. Our tennis courts are horrible.
We just built one.
We also did the Hayes stadium improvements. I think this might be dated by a year or so and still have some things on there that are done or being done.
Some of the projects are listed here. Looks like the tennis facility is on hold.
