wonder how the inclined ramp will factor into the #speedmerchants analysis

that's a pretty great question and the obvious answer is that it will factor in a ton but not until next year when our merchants have had a bit of time to train on it.
on a somewhat related note, i was touring the anderson complex in lawrence and their incline ramp only has a 23° incline.  hilarious.

I have heard that once ours is done, they will crank theirs to 26.  #dobetterthanksu

i heard the same thing.  my good bud at populous told me that the bad news is that they can't really afford to increase the degree of incline so they're just going to bend the ruler and make it appear steeper.

d = run

is anybody concerned that too much inclined ramp training is going to make our players worse at playing on a flat surface?  like, when pitchers are so conditioned to hurling 95mph fastballs that they are terrible at throwing a routine ball to first base.

There's not a site in the US without OSHA violations.  So congrats.

That's meant to be more of an indictment on OSHA than on construction safety.

Have any curved widescreen jumbotrons been installed anywhere yet?  That's what the NW corner needs.

What will be in the space between the terraces and existing bleachers? Right now it is a hill of dirt. I thought it would be a more clean joining than that.
