  1. see what i dont get is, i think this Project Can be done for less and with alot of the things not changing. You dont need to replace the baseball stadium. You have the open area to make that work already. To me, rip up the last football field and build a parking lot.

     

    WERE ARE PEOPLE GONNA PARK FOR THIS NEW LACROSSE FIELD...INDIAN QUAD PARKING LOT? You can barley park for a baseball field now. Rip up that field, make it a parking lot, and build the stands for the baseball field on the dirt road they have leading to the park right now. Then you have that Natural hill you can use beinhd the visitors dugout.

     

    You rebuild the soccer field next to that parking lot. What other teams do they have that need a field? Field Hockey and Lacrosse is covered. The only other fields needed in Soccer. You can put in new turf on the current field and move it over so you can build the new football stadium. You dont need 4 more soccer fields etc... like this plan shows. You need two at the most, not 4.

     

    I think if they downsized the plan a little, the fundings would be fine and you still have a really good finishing product.

  2. im gladd i can see how the Field Hockey and Lacrosse Field is going to be set up. The way they have it set up for Phase I is kinda like how Cortland's Football Field and Track and Field is set up (i've seen it)...bleachers in the middle, and a big press box, and all u have to do is walk over to the other side to see the other part of the field...i like that set-up.

     

    I dont see where they are gonna get all that open field behind the baseball stadium, but if they can, by all means.

     

    I'd like to see the plan thrown out on the Athletic Website as an interactive plan. I'd like to know when the plans for the baseball field will begin. To me, that should be part of phase 1. Adding bleachers and press box is not that hard fo a process. You get local companies to help with that, you can then start taking in more local/HS baseball games. Plus the team wouldnt have to worry about having cancelled games all the time.

     

    Im very excited about this. I only wish i wasnt graduating next year.

  3. to me thats all based around the stadium and the funds to move up. The funs will come, i know it...but at this point, i say screw building a new stadium, keep the practice fields, and just build within University Field right now. You have the Geography to make it work. Add stuff into the hills on the far side, get a new scoreboard and move the stands closer on the home side...You can build within that. Im willing to give that up...

     

    My other dream scenario is Campbell gets drafted, becomes a star and donates the money to help pay for it...hahaha

  4. People can attend the butchered celebration if they want. However, if you chose not to go, head over to Universiy Field. NATIONALLY RANKED LACROSSE TEAM TAKES ON QUINNIPIAC...

     

    IF YOU CANT, LISTEN TO CRAIG, CHARLES Q AND ME, JORDAN MOORE, ALONG WITH MIKE LANDSMAN IN STUDIO ON WCDN 90.9 FM...

     

    FIRST BROADCAST FOR WCDB THIS YEAR...SHOULD BE FUN!!

  5. I went to the DH yesterday. Besides losing the DH, it was a great atmosphere. Had to be about 200 people there. Some notes:

     

    1) The Field was unplayable and underwater as of Thursday. They were not ven sure if the game was gonna be played, even with the nice weather. But they got the field together and it looked great. The OF however i was told was not fully drained yet.

     

    2) New Uniforms. They look awesome. White, with UAlbany across the middle in purple and gold.

     

    They just could not capitalize on opportunities. Two innings leaving the bases loaded, 5 errors in the first game. That doesnt equal wins. Hopefully they can turn it around today.
