Am I the only one that thinks spending $100M on a baseball facility is stupid?

Nope, I agree. Then again, I don't like baseball; but I'm sure that has nothing to do with it.

Baseball is a pretty big sport in the south.

The bar for "most intimidating atmosphere for baseball" has to be incredibly low.

Stupid or not… when you have so much money and your football and basketball facilities are probably top notch already, you gotta spend that money somewhere.

Yeah - they're going to be bigger players in the Big 12 than I think most on here realize.

They also use the Bucs stadium currently. We did a tour of the stadium two years ago and they took us into their lockerroom for some reason, it was a dump.

So if you figure they are erecting a complete stadium, 340 MM doesn't sound all that crazy.

This thread and all the realignment threads are a constant reminder of my fast growing lack of interest in college sports.

Yet here I am on a college sports site mainly because it’s turned into one of my main info outlets for everything.

****, read it wrong. Thanks for catching!

That's where the B1G/SEC TV money is going to make a huge difference in the overall scheme of things. The most prominent sports (FB, MBB) are close to maxed out.

The gap in certain Olympic/non-revenue sports will likely grow significantly as those schools pour this new cash into those facilities and programs.

Do they have the high-tech treadmills?

Dordt just built an indoor sports facility.

Looks nice. I think the artist's rendition is a bit optimist with regard to the number of people in the stands, though.

You know what....

Good for KU.

They went all in with Leipold and are being rewarded for it.

Bout time. Looks nice. Better than their last rendition. Wondering what the capacity will be. Unable to find so far...
