Tribune article.



I really hope they enclose that area down the left field line. Otherwise it's going to be Harry Highschoolish with balls hooking down that line and rolling past the fence for I presume a ground rule double.

I didn't realize softball was top10 nationally in home attendance. We could become a national power with this upgrade.

Seems kinda small. What was the old capacity?

Old place was 500 with the ability to go to 1000 per that article but that was using removable bleachers. This is 1800. We averaged 1200, which was 8th nationally. 1800 should be enough and I bet it competes nationally as far as size goes.

As long as they can fit 3k+ for regionals. That is all that really matters. There would be no problem filling that, fan wise.

I hear ya. I think they said they can easily get over 2000 with hill seating or something so I'd hope with additional temporary seating they can get to over 3000.

Just a question; is the having a spelling mistake in the titles of topics an inside joke type of thing?
