Seems hard for a professional team and a college team to share a stadium, long series, tournaments, rain outs, and practice all seem to be issues with this concept.


Missouri State does it with the AA Springfield Cardinals. I’ve never seen any issues on the outside with the arrangement.

Is there some sarcasm in this post, or is it dementia? 2015 ring a bell? It should. Missouri State is the secondary tenant in their park, and it's a constant issue come post-season.

Now, if you get the college team as the primary tenant (see Nebraska), it's not a problem and can be a mutually beneficial arrangement.
