...OR ... since Mary K. Bell softball stadium needs a major rehab, build a new Bell Field on the baseball field site. Still get an expanded Yard/tailgate/parking area since the softball field is smaller ... plus ... get open space on the east side for more parking and/or a student tailgate area (if students survive the shock of actually getting something special for their huge fees). Market and you might get more student interest. Worth a try.


Only ... keep softball home plate at southwest corner like it is now, where it belongs. Grandstand could also serve as a concessions/restroom stop for tailgaters. Or maybe hot dog storage.
