The Bakersfield College new baseball complex construction has come to a screeching halt. Due to the current state of the economy, the new field will not be ready until next season or longer, according to a BC coach who didn’t want to give his name.
“2010 is the target year.or whenever the economy gets better,” said the coach.
The new complex, named the Bakersfield College Stadium of Bakersfield, will contain five bases and plenty of room in the outfield for up to five outfielders.
There will also be a new parking complex made to accommodate the new field. The parking structure will feature valet parking, available by local bums and tweakers and twice as large parking spots for those who park in a certain fashion (you know who you are), and there will be a fire pole to get down, rather than stairs or elevators, due to the extremely high cost of building the structure.
The food offered at the new stadium will be new items the school is introducing:
Renegade Dogs, or BC hot dogs, along with specialty cups for beverages, cotton candy apples (no, that’s not a typo) and deep-fried deep-fries, and protein-free hamburgers (no buns). The new items will be part of a combo deal: Heart Attack on a Plate.
The new stadium will be under construction this year and looks to be ready by April 2010.
There are already talks about construction to make a multi-level stadium and to add on a top deck for base jumping. There will also be an additional slide and water park for kids to play in, along with a built-in mall strip to offer overpriced stuff.
