I haven't been there since 2001, and haven't kept up with it. I plan on making a few trips down there to check out some games.
nlfan	I don't, but others probably do...	#1	[-]

Since you've been there my photos (from around the ballpark) might give you a clue. I'm sure that others can answer that question more directly.

I can't tell if they've done too much to the inside of the stadium but it looks the same from what i saw from your pics from beyond the outfield fence.

Since that hasn't happened I suspect that everything, from a clubhouse perspective, is unchanged.

I haven't been there since 2001, and haven't kept up with it. I plan on making a few trips down there to check out some games. The team clubhouse(s) facility is still outside left field, as it has been since the pre-1978 then-Lawrence Stadium remodeling. When the Wichita Thunder Management Team entered into an agreement to bring an AA team to LDS for 2008, it was agreed that no stadium modifications previously planned for 2008 would be undertaken, so that the new team could assess and prioritize its own stadium refurbishment needs after a full season of play in the existing facility. Amongst the future items previously planned are a remodeling, addition or replacement of that external left field team clubhouse, with a possible concession facility for the spectator area beyond left field, which is sorely needed there. I hope this answers klrgumby's question.

I plan on making it to several games this season so i was just curious what they had done if anything since last attending a Wranglers game there when I went to college in the area. Hopefully the attendance and atmospehere gets better with the transition to a new league, owenership, etc. Wichita is a good sized town that could very much support these teams if people actually showed up.
