Fans for A New FAU Baseball Stadium

Why is it Tennessee can spend nearly 96 million dollars on their baseball stadium to get it major upgrades and we have trouble convincing the athletics department to give the baseball team 20 million to remain competitive.

I know it’s a broken record for many of us Owls fans when it comes to the baseball stadium but I want to bring this up especially in this day of the transfer portal and NIL deals.

For the game today there was about I would say 50-75 ECU fans there today may a tad more and as a FAU fans I said welcome to a couple but also felt kinda of embarrassed a little bit. Not at the team but our stadium. Yes I know there were improvements made to a few things but not what it should have been. The performance center looks like it’s nearing completion but probably won’t be finished for this season and our scoreboard is still analog while the school to the south has a digital scoreboard.

I know the improvements are a start and it’s a bad comparison but compared to some of the others in the conference we’re still at the bottom of the pot if we’re going to remain competitive and credit to Coach Mac and his staff for keeping the team competitive in this new age of the NIL and transfer portal but facilities play a huge role along with NIL and coaches in the reason a player may transfer.

And let’s face it until Athletics decides to get a master plan for a vision for the future of athletics out there for the alumni base and the general community to see we have to relay on the TV money and hopefully for again another tournament appearance from basketball and football making bowls. Because just looking at the stadium walking out from the game this evening I can plan an upgrade or new ballpark with the space we have.

So that’s it. My little rant is over. Thanks for listening. And great win tonight by Coach Mac and boys of the diamond. GO OWLS.
