Yes, they plan to do work. I don't know when the plans call for work to begin. From what I've heard they're tearing down the old stadium, along with the track. Turning the field to run the opposite way, with the endzones being toward Paint Creek and approximately where the stadium now stands. They will be laying down, grassy turf much like that of Pikeville, Belfry and Shelby Valley. They will then build a track around that and build their facilities along the Mayo Plaza side of the campus facing the field. It's also been rumored that they plan, to redo the baseball field and turn home plate around to where center field stands now to neglect the sun delays that currently take place. Sounds as though it'll be really nice.

They have a great baseball facility as is. One of the best fields in the state IMO. Why not just buy a screen like the old Minor League teams used to block the sun? Seems like it would be less costly, easier to do and save a lot of time and money. The bleachers could use alittle work though. But, turning the entire baseball field? Just don't understand. The football field, that's another story. That has needed done for years. Should be nice when they finish.
