Until we start hitting fans in the pocketbook for that damn outfield party, I'm not worrying much about baseball. It's about sharing sausage and getting way more than football fans get for their money. That's got to stop. Our delusional baseball fans can't even see we're barely better than USM and OM baseball is right on our heels. It's not an elite program, it's a 17ing party and more about the damn stadium.
It's the baseball grove. I guarantee I could ask 100 people at any given time what the count was and 85 of them wouldn't know what the score was, much less the count. It's always been kind of bad in regards to feeding the other team, other fans, etc. But it's gotten awful since the new stadium was built. No one even gives the other teams outfielders hell anymore because Everett or Phil Silva might yell at them for being too mean.

I hate agreeing with Cooterpoot but he's right on the money. The Grove gets way more out of their money than any other sport on campus. We're losing money because we make those damn rigs so cheap. Jack the price up to 15-20K a season, which is still a bargain and they'll start paying attention and actually giving a crap about the product on the field more than the product on their grill. I mean a regular suite, which those things are, cost 36K for a small one and 54K for the big ones. We're charging less than 5K for the lounge spots. I'd be ok with charging 30-40K for them. But Everett, Phil Silva, and Hobie would revolt that we were pricing the fans out.
