multi-sport training center or baseball upgrade...it's been limited down to these two

I'm leaning towards a baseball stadium.

i was told today by a reliable source while i was at football practice, that it was baseball and softball related. the idea is pretty cool, but you know how LU rolls...it could change tomorrow.

So does this mean a new stadium? In the current location? One stadium for both? What to do with the current softball field location? Dorms? How big will this stadium be?

How could you have one for both? There's no mound for softball, is there? And wouldn't the fences be different lengths? The distances between the bases is 90 feet in baseball; is it the same or different for softball?

They could do like the MLB where the mound lowers;)

I don;t think it's softball related? Wasn't it already announced months ago that the softball team was moving to where LCA plays? I thought that was a done deal?

I have no idea. Never watched softball and don't plan on it.

Well it wont be on FF...that goes against the board policy voted on by the founding fathers.

I wonder if JLFJR will ever allow FF to post a press release first for something minor...you know...throw us a bone
