Yes. I heard while at the high school last Friday that they hope to build the new facility this year. I think they must have a private donor lined up. I would think they need to break ground pretty quickly if they want to be done by next year.
I saw no television cameras there. They have a link with the scores that is updated as they go.
Matt Shoultz is usually at the matches posting live updates online but I have never seen anything streamed. If there is that would be great and news to me.

The Series
Iowa State and UCLA are meeting for just the second time. The Cyclones won the only previous meeting, 4-3, on January 28 in Miami, Florida, at the ITA Kickoff. In that win, ISU dropped the doubles point but came back and won, the only time this season losing the doubles point and winning (1-4).
Any word yet on weather as far as playing this in Ames? We are getting spotty rain in southern Iowa.
I sent them an email this morning.
From the ISU athletics -
"The NCAA makes the ultimate call during these tournaments and they will try at all costs to play this outdoors. They could probably wait as long as 3 p.m. even. It looks like we should be able to play outside as long as it stops spitting in time for them to dry the courts. Sorry I can’t give you a more definitive answer, but we will post any updates to Cyclones.com!"
Wow thank you so much for being on top of this! Trying to follow this and softball today!
