WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff

They also opened a $40M 4,200-seat stadium last year, and got $12M of that from Love's. (Truck Stop Conference!)

Cheapest season ticket (yes, they charge admission) is $385. Ranges up to $900/seat including donation. All sold out. Single-game SRO tickets are $15-$30, depending on opponent.

And they don't have to open every season with 30 road/neutral games like ISU does.

The last time that I visited Norman, they were in the process of constructing this new stadium. It was relatively close to the "original" one. The original one looked to be in great shape & imo nicer than ISU's home field. (Which is really nice)

"Boasting a fan capacity of 4,200, it is the largest on-campus softball facility in the country, and features a 10,669-square-foot indoor training center and several team spaces, including a locker room, training room, meeting room, equipment room and lounge, as well as a recognition area to showcase national championships, All-Americans and other outstanding accomplishments".

Dang! Clearly they have a dedicated following. I would've never guessed people would pay that kind of money for softball. Maybe I'm wrong about the "bleeding money" part!

I love watching softball myself. But to think it’s a revenue positive sport is mind boggling. There is something about watching the skill of those pitchers that intrigues me. When I taught high school we had an annual exhibition against the girls softball team. Trying to hit off a good softball pitcher is tough!

I don’t know why but I can’t stand to watch college baseball. I’ll watch college softball all the time though. Something about it is much more intriguing than baseball. Same goes for WBB. I’ll watch the ISU men but rarely any other games. In WBB, I’ll watch ISU and lots of other teams as well.
