LSU fans get mad when you tell them college baseball isn’t that popular. Then when people prove it isn’t that popular they get mad. They get mad a lot.

As embarrassing as not even making a regional?

Man - you can’t take it out of Omaha!!! But damn sure wouldn’t hurt to take it out of that park. Like how it’s downtown and all- but man, just not a fan of it in general
Contract runs through 2035. Wish for something else. It ain't moving.

Charles Schwab was horrible during the dead-ball era and still isn't a great stadium. I want to keep it in Omaha, but I'd be open to alternatives.
There is an easy fix to the homerun graveyard problem, but Omaha doesn't want to do it: put a wrap around scoreboard, that is about the same height as the upper deck, around the outfield. The wind blowing in from center would go over the stadium and create a backwash that actually drives all but the highest fly balls back in the other direction. The Rangers had this problem at old Arlington Stadium, and accidently fixed it by doing just this (they weren't trying to block the wind, but ended up doing so).

Went from this:


To this:


Problem is, it would spoil the view of the skyline (such as it is) from the seating areas. But what the Omaha folks don't realize is that it's not the view from the seats that matters. As long as the TV folks insert plenty of drone shots, they will get the same visibility for the vast majority of folks who follow college baseball (the 99.99% not in attendance).
