There are workarounds for everything. It will require cash and creativity. Pump some money into a local ball field and make it work for a season. The baseball squad is years away from being competitive anyway. Raze both structures simultaneously, get the new groundworks in and start pouring footings. If Farmers can't support that number of trucks per day, someone can fill the gaps in. This is the SEC and sitting on your hands won't work.

How would you integrate volleyball (M&W), gymnastics, wrestling, and basketball (M&W) into one facility without impacting each of the others - especially Basketball?
they were all in Hearnes together for decades without any issues. Why would it be worse now with a larger facility that has more practice areas?

There have been complaints over the last few years in the AD that Hearns isn't big enough for what they currently need anyway, and was a reason the new arena was built.
Collegiate sports have changed with regards to how practices are scheduled over the last 20 years, since Hearns has been converted, which means the availabletime they are allowed to practice has been condensed. Each sport gets 4 hours of practice time daily, but once you add on the locker room stuff (i.e. recovery, rehab, study) it would be a nightmare (but obviously not impossible) for space.

Including independent clubs such as the Gateway Grizzlies and River City Rascals.

Of course. I just think there are easier/ cheaper options than displacement or interruption to the rest of the AD for a program that receives zero support anyway.

Not a bad idea. I'd personally prefer club soccer get promoted, but I've enjoyed my club hockey too.

The folks over on SEC Rant are obviously mystified about the low level of support or interest the MU fan base has for baseball. They just do not understand. They don't get that MU baseball competes with 2 pro teams, a popular minor league team, and a consistently good D1 program down south for fans and attention.
Most SEC baseball teams have no real instate competition for attention or $ or players, outside the other SEC schools.
