Please stop discussing concerns of a baseball field at stupd cow.

Seriously.


I wasn't discussing. I was merely pointing out that, despite the millions in funding that's going to develop "athletic facilities", and despite their AD's continuous assertions that a baseball stadium is at the top of his priority list, Marshall still can't figure out how to get basic sports facilities and instead has to play games either (a) at the local YMCA or (b) an hour away in Mountaineer country, so coming over here to gloat that Marshall has received said funding isn't really the wisest action.


Its odd that a baseball stadium isn't pulled together yet when Marshall had no problem dropping money on an expansion to 38,000 seats in 2001 for a program that has only had crowds in excess of 30,000 a few times since. Ohio scaled back plans on Peden Stadium to share the wealth with other sports. It turned out to be a good move as interest leveled off after rejuvenation of the late 90s when the new logo brand and cosmetic improvements made fans take the program more seriously. Jim Grobe as a great embassador of the school sped up the transition to the modern era.
