Back in June, it was announced that Tim Hudson had made a nice little donation to the Auburn baseball program that would be used for a new clubhouse that, while that Plainsman Park is still one of the nicest in college baseball, had fallen behind the rest of the SEC. Well, now it’s done, and the renovations made look almost exactly as the plans I showed you last summer (no ghosts, though).
Yesterday, the Auburn baseball twitter account took us on a little tour. Here are all the hot spots, including a newer, opened bullpen behind the green monster.
Start out where the 3B concession stand once stood. Now, a nice hangout spot. #AllforAuburn pic.twitter.com/bHifhXve3q

Sore? No problem. Hydrotherapy tubs (Hot & Cold) help players recover, all while watching the latest highlights. pic.twitter.com/zlIArnYRMy

Next to hydrotherapy tubs, trainers have everything they need to keep the Tigers healthy. #AllforAuburn pic.twitter.com/eTRGmQ5wGP

For days like this, an updated hitting facility will be nice. Inset home plates and new graphics make it top notch. pic.twitter.com/lVL9INOhCh

Nice finishing touch. Dual-mound bullpen with inlayed plates & extra batting cage. Now can see pitchers from field. pic.twitter.com/ys5qsOvFMQ

It’s a new day for Auburn baseball. New coach, new attitude, and now new digs.
