I agree, it would be nice to have another outdoor practice field, and then a softball stadium is a must. Have you seen where the girls play games? Some little league field in Canfield. That needs to change. If they could fit a soccer complex in there somehow, would be pretty awesome as well, since the field at Stambaugh Stadium has a crown
The campus 2k map has the design including the softball and soccer fields. I have the current version of it, I will post it when I am home tonight. The soccer is crucial for MAC acceptance. NIU and Akron are absolute stellar programs. Even remaining in in the Horizon, there are three good men's programs a several women's. Men's is the next sanctioned sport at YSU. Strollo's idea of having these new facilities become part of a Lady Pens sports complex is brilliant. Just imagine how pioneering that will be. Add that to WATTS, and we become soooo much more appealing.
As to the the fields in Canfield. We can never lose those, or Cene Park for the men. This is not a simple little league field. The McCune Park added 2 more fields (totaling 11) and houses 3 softball fields ...makes YSU the favorite stop for tournament action. If another HL team cannot meet the needs of the conference, the League teams can choose to come here. The MAC had their tournament there on, at least, one occasion. Same with Cene Park, we need a place to house tourneys. You can eliminate the need for the teams to play more than one game a day, by having multiple fields. Right now, we have to have 3 or 4 games a day on one field, but not here at YSU. YSU happens to have two good starters in softball ...that is rare at the mid-major level.
