    Thanks Don!

    I never forget about the hardball boys!
    I'm not sure how good the Aggies will be this year... we lost a lot of pitching.
    But there is a bright side:
    We already sold out our season tickets in remodeled Olsen Field!
    How many schools can say that?

    Is Blue Bell Park named after the ice cream company?

    Frank Eck Stadium, Notre Dame. Nice field and given the interest don't really need a bigger facility.

    No bigger contrast than the UT's Dish Falk Field to ND's Eck Stadium. UT has great attendance and multiple Nat'l Championships in the trophy case.

    Inaugural year for new field at Purdue as well; Alexander Field.

    Too big...will try to find a smaller image.

    Well here's a small version....the big one was really pretty but HUGE.

    Scott they replaced that awful rug with a new state of the art Field Turf installation. Not sure why they didn't go for real grass though. Austin certainly has the climate for it, heck even the Irish have real grass.

    Great ball fields Gents, something to be proud of... As always nice to get Div 1 ball playing again even though we are unranked for the first time since 1994...
