![]() The next day in the newspaper, there's an artist drawing of what this new stadium could look like.Īnd and if you look at it, it looks remarkably like what was built. The what the newspaper described many times was like serious internal injuries.Īnd then this tragedy at the children's performance was the push that was needed. (crowd) (crashing noises) I always say Bosse Field was born out of a tragedy in 1914 during the field day exercises at the league park that sat at the corner of Reed and Louisiana Street.Ī temporary set of temporary stands collapsed and 50 people or so were injured. We're trustees handing it off to the next generation after receiving it from the previous generation. I mean, we're we're just passers through. (music) It's a humbling experience to think about the predecessors and the names of the people who've come here. When you walk in here for the first time, you go, Wow.Įvery time I step in this place, I'm just proud to be here and I'm proud to look around and see what it represents for 100 years.īosse Field is special to a lot of people here in Evansville because of the men that have played here and gone on to be very successful. If you fall in love, it's like Wrigley Field. You know, like in the big leagues at the stadium was like 20 years old. I think it's pretty, pretty awesome being 100 years old, still playing in the state because of the way things go. They fixed it up so we don't have the bomb it. ![]() It says something about the fans of Evansville and the leadership through those years to preserve this park. Not only did I play here, that I manage here, that I coach here. There were so many people who attended games here, played in games here.Īnd as an athlete, when you come in here, you you know, there's something different here. (music) I think Bosse feels very definitely a part of the fabric of the city of Evansville. The F-35C is a F/A-18C/D replacement & will operate along side the F/A-18E/F & then continue of the operate along side the F/A-18E/F replacement.Production funding for the field that Bosse built.Įvansville Historic Ballpark turns 100 is provided by the Cecil A and Mabel Lene Hamman Foundation, Inc., and by Wilfred C Bussing. How many time does this need to be explained? If they want a replacement for the SH, and to have it in service in 15 yers from now, it either is the F-35 or they don't get the JSF at all 'till now, they seem to be rather hesitating about it, to say the least. remains to be seen if the US Navy will be convinced. ![]() ![]() Politicians want the F-35 to be that aircraft. The USAF F-X (F-22 replacement) program as far as I can tell has yet to officially begin (at best some in the USAF/DOD have begun to study/theorize what it might be) but is projected for an IOC of 2030. Specs/requirements are likely to be similar to the A-12 (~40,000 lb OEW & 80,000 lb MTOW in particular) but a generation (6th vs 5th) more advanced. Boeing 1st revealed a concept for a possible F/A-XX in 2009 & in 2010 revealed a 2nd similar concept (2009 concept having intext on lower side while the 2010 concept has them on the upper side). In 2010 it was reorganized/renamed NGAD (Next Generation Aid Dominance) due to the addition of significant AtA capability. The USN F/A-XX program began in 2008 as a 6th generation F/A-18E/F replacement with an intended IOC of 2025. ![]() What else is there about these projects that we know about ?Īnd how will they compare to other designs around at the time? The USAF say they will start funding the F22 replacement (FX?) around the same time but don't expect their "6th generation" to be in service till 2040 (30 years from now). So its been building for a while, and i think its about time somebody tries to get the timelines, designs and requirements ironed out for these projects.Īs i understand it the FA-XX is a USN requirement to replace the Super Hornet around 2025 (15 years from now) and is essentially "5th generation". ![]()
