Couldnt even tell you where the baseball field was at (2000 grad).
Corner of Knapp and Hayward. A few blocks south of the Towers.

Ok genius, how many games did you go see?
The only reason ASU has it is some monster donor literally funded it himself. I can't remember if his son was on the team or not. They're a relatively new program around 10 years old.I think Arizona State has a D1 hockey program. Many of the D1 hockey programs are not D1 in other sports.
I wonder if adding the PAC 12 schools changes the nuances of the Big Ten.No one is fighting for less Iowa State teams to root for. I love baseball but Iowa State bringing back a sport to lose 3+ million a year AND get its ass handed too it is bad business.
This isn't Big Ten baseball where everyone is at a weather disadvantage...
It was a fun side story last yr WVU baseball "adopted" ISU SB for part of the season.More like opinion of the matter.
I wonder how many Colorado fans give a **** about not having baseball. Or Wisconsin fans.
Why is there no outcry about all of the schools that don't have wrestling? Or about Oklahoma State being the only Big 12 school without volleyball?
Since it's spring, maybe we should poll Cincy, K-State, TCU and WVU fans about not having softball. I'm sure they're up in arms about that.
FB has had decent attendance for a long time. Wbb only since the Fenelly era. I never attended a single wbb game during my college yrs.I
Nobody went to football or women's basketball games back then either.
I went to a couple each year, just to sit in the sun on beautiful spring days. Didn't even pay attention to the games but sun, girls (hopefully) and relaxation. Sign me up.
The rehab was a collaboration of the BB club and several dept undergrad programs working together. My niece was pretty involved in it. I saw it the yr they finished it haven't seen it lately. It looked really nice when finished. Nothing like the SB stadium that got built but really nice.
I didn't realize they actually did some renovations to Capp Timm field less than 10 years ago. I knew it was in bad shape at one point.
I wish we could afford it, I love baseball. And I'd rather watch the Cyclones play baseball than the White Sox this year...it's been rough.I wonder if Yormark has had any conversations with Pollard about bringing back the baseball program. The Big 12 has been adding in more schools with baseball programs, we currently are the only school of the current 14 without one. I know it has been said there has been donor money offered to fund the program if we bring it back too so that's not an issue.
Seems to me Ames could support a Class A team. It would be in the city's best interest to team up with the university to build a 10-12,000 seat complex. Women's wrestling could balance out the title IX issues.Money.
Principal Park capacity is 11,500 and you want Ames to build a 12,000 seat ball park?Seems to me Ames could support a Class A team. It would be in the city's best interest to team up with the university to build a 10-12,000 seat complex. Women's wrestling could balance out the title IX issues.

Right, maybe 5 to 8k. What does a typical class A ballpark hold?Principal Park capacity is 11,500 and you want Ames to build a 12,000 seat ball park?
All I said was I think they could support A ball.The triple-A team in Des Moines averages 6,000 but Ames could do better with a single-A club?

New facilities do wonders.Cedar Rapids is less than 5,500. There is not a single MLB franchise that would pack up their operation and move it to Ames, Iowa.
