This will no doubt help recruiting and now give us two quality venues in Regions and Bartow in the three major sports. Now we need to make number three happen.

We also need to bid on the baseball tournament.

I disagree. Marshall doesn't even have a home stadium. They play their home C-USA games 40 miles away at a minor league stadium in Charleston. They play some home games in Beckley, WV. The closest they come to playing a home game is when they play at The Kennedy Center, which is located at the Huntington, WV YMCA.

Marshall needs to move to a different conference then, so we can claim "dead last".

Oh well, how far do we have to go, Attalla, to be next to next to last.

Marshall had to have their pro day in the Cam Henderson Center a couple of weeks ago. They're building an IPF at some point in the near future thankfully. I remember reading somewhere that the baseball team practices inside of Joan C. Edwards Stadium at times. I'd love to see both schools get a serious upgrade. Here's a video of Marshall's players running their 40's in the concourse of the Cam Henderson Center:
