In 1971, thanks to the generosity of the late E.B. "Dutch"?McCool, a former MSU?baseball player and one of the founding fathers of Holiday Inns, Inc., MSU took the lead in the Southeastern Conference with the installation of a lighting system. The advent of night baseball in Starkville helped build a solid fan base. A drainage and sprinkler system and an expanded scoreboard and animation-equipped message center, new batting ranges and an infield tarp became the stadium's next improvements.
I thought I remembered last year during the whole Polk/Raffo/Cohen ordeal, David Murray talking about it being a prime opportunity to clear out the drainage system since we missed the post season. I have no idea either way though.

I have no idea either. Just thought I remembered him commenting that since we were in limbo with searching/hiring Cohen, we missed out on a way to get it done in time to have the field back in shape for fall ball. I could be way off on this.
Yes there is a system and it drastically needs to be upgraded as their are constant problems i have been told.
Not to mention their are spots in the outfield that are uneven because of the last shotty job done on it.
