Alabama athletics director Bill Battle will present a plan for expansive renovations to Sewell-Thomas Stadium at next week's UA System Board of Trustees meeting...
"I think it will take our baseball stadium from one of the lowest rankings in the SEC to one of the highest," Battle said. "I think it will be very fan-friendly.
"The big ifs are if it gets approved by the board and if we can raise enough money to get it going. We're optimistic on both fronts."

Battle declined to provide an estimated cost for the project. The athletic department can not raise funds for the project unless it is approved by the Board, which meets next Thursday and Friday in Tuscaloosa.
"Hopefully when it is," Battle said, "we'll hit the ground running."

"We think we've got everything we need to make it at the top of the league," Battle said. "We can use the infrastructure that's in place, the base infrastructure, but everything else will be totally new and it will look a lot different."
