As of now it appears that the only thing that's going to happen is some cosmetic stuff to the tune of $500,000!
It better be some impressive cosmetics!
It's unfortunate when an "extreme makeover" is what's needed to make the place more user friendly (i.e. convenient rest room facilities and a "real" concession stand) as well as a candidate for hosting conference and regional tourney's.

As for the raffle, $20K was raised from that and it was split between baseball and women's soccer. The baseball half has been used to pay for architect drawings and a computerized "fly around" showing the new stadium in a virtual presentation that will be used for potential donors.
There was some rumours at the end of last season that the stadium renovations would be done this off season, but that was mostly wishful thinking as we still havent got the funds to do what we want. The plan is to wait a little longer till we get all the money we need to do the job right rather than a small facelift(which is all 500,000 would provide).
Right now the Dome for football is all that is being given any public push. We just have to be a little patient-I know its tough-but be assured plans for renovating the baseball stadium have not been "scrapped"!
