Stadium and practice images


The UMass website has more images from 2005 preseason. See them here. The images are unattributed, but probably are by Assistant Athletic Director for Media Affairs Jason Yellin.

My comment is on the new paint job for McGuirk. Although this is a modest expenditure, it shows that entropy is not being allowed to take over. I remember a conversation with UMass Head Coach Jimmie Reid (1986-1991). He told me it was a constant struggle to keep UMass from dumping stuff that it no longer used, but did not want to throw away, at the stadium. In recent years the north side of the stadium has been paved and now the seemingly yearly small projects.

It shows! McGuirk is looking pretty good.

Now if they could only do some work on UMass' sad looking field house!
