Engie....on the baseball stadium......

[Goat Holder]

I read that thread on 6-pack, and if you are trying to correlate winning championships to arms races (stadium and facilities), you're going to get worked.

2013: UCLA plays in a shit hole that seats like 41 people
2012: Arizona plays at freaking Hi Corbett Field
2011 and 2010: Do you really think South Carolina's program was built at Carolina Stadium? Go research Ray Tanner. Notice they played for the title in 2002 or somewhere around there.
2009: LSU, it has been pointed out that their program was not built at Alex Box
2008: Fresno, WTF
2007 and 2006: Oregon State. Goss Stadium baby, Jackson Prep would be jealous
2005: Texas - here's your first real nice stadium, but shit, they are Texas
Can't remember any further

Look, a new baseball stadium will be nice. I'm all for it if they want to do it. I most definitely want it to be more friendly to casual fans and students. But let's not act like Dudy Noble is holding us back. It helps more than it hurts, I assure you of this.

I will say this - maybe it will be about the arms race going forward. I personally think it's all about fan support. Whatever it takes to keep that part high, I'm all for it.
