Subject: Improvements to Coffey Field Author: EC'71 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:15:12 12/13/04 Mon I was at the basketball game Saturday and I noticed Jack Coffey field was already under heavy construction. I know they are putting a field turf in and lights. Are there other improvements being planned? Will the baseball field be moved toward the Far-end? Will there be new stands? Is this a major upgrade or just K-mart special facelift?? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date New 400 seat stands for BB, new back stop, new dugouts, (real dugouts) new multi purpose score board, lights and field turf for BB and FB. M&W Soccer will also play on Coffey, rather than Edwards. (NT) FC 12:57:07 12/13/04 Mon I think having the soccer teams play on Coffey instead of Eddie's is a mistake, Eddie's is a great setting for the games. Nobody will go once the games are at Coffey. (NT) -- CKRAM98, 15:09:09 12/14/04 Tue The baseball field will also have a press box above the stands. (NT) -- ramMan, 15:47:51 12/14/04 Tue What about movable, temporary stands for football? Also, isn't the field supposed to be ready by September 1st? (NT) DamnRam 13:40:10 12/13/04 Mon Still under consideration as I understand. I really hope they include that. (NT) FC 17:46:07 12/13/04 Mon As far as I am hearing, Sept 2005 all should be complete. Field turf will also be installed on the Prep field as well. In fact, that work has started as too. (NT) FC 17:48:56 12/13/04 Mon Plus isn't the Prep Field getting lights? That field will also be used for FC student intramurals. (NT) -- Rambacker, 22:27:43 12/13/04 Mon Yep, Prep Field is getting lights and a track. (NT) -- ramMan, 15:50:39 12/14/04 Tue Did'nt hear about lights, but possible. I understand a track will be installed as well, not sure if is going to be oval or straight away. We'll see how it all turns out. Actually, the Prep area looks somewhat small, but again, we'll see how it all comes together. (NT) FC 12:47:08 12/14/04 Tue Was a response or drawing of the proposed alterations to Coffey Field made public? (NT) -- toby, 15:48:13 12/14/04 Tue Are you kidding? That might increase alumni enthusiasm and donations. No, at Fordham we handle this through snail mail newsletters, message boards, and forcing people to use their imaginations. (NT) -- Pony Express, 19:36:46 12/14/04 Tue I agree wholeheartedly, maybe, just maybe, someone has a digital camera at the technically disadvantaged Rose Hill who could post progress photographs on the renovations. BIG MAYBE. (NT) -- toby, 13:08:23 12/16/04 Thu What is this thing you call "camera"? (NT) -- Luddites of Rose Hill, 20:14:26 12/16/04 Thu
