The Dot is sold out and should be rocking for their contest with Alabama His afternoon at 3.
Good Luck To The Softball Team Today

This should answer the question of how to get fans to Huntington. Wins+Quality Opponents= Large attendance.
It's not looking too good currently. Down 2-0 after the home run in the top of the 6th.
Ironically, when I looked it up, I noticed a young lady named Lauren Esman is pitching for Alabama. She went to the high school where I currently reside, Gull Lake High. That kind of now makes me a little bit famous, if I follow the logic of some.
Lady Herd loses 3-1. A review ruled safe on an infield hit plated the run in the bottom of the 7th (?). Montana Fouts, local product, notches the save for the Tide……great effort, sounded like.
The only some you follow is the boy at the Chinese takeout who you hit on - Sum Yung Guy.
Not sure if they have expansion plans but it looks like they could expand the seating on the first base side and possibly outfield. Third base side is pretty locked in.
Great day for MU and MU softball. Hopefully they made some new fans.
Expanding the seating for a softball field is likely pretty costly, particularly for when you only have that type of crowd once every forever. The spending focus must be geared towards better urinals and much better hot dog offerings.
Same thing I was thinking. Marshall draws a sell out crowd once a decade and everyone goes delusional and wants to add more seats. Just remember that the tarp people are waiting in the wings to cover them over.
No, just add more bleacher seats, doesn't have to be brick and mortar. There are a bunch who sit in the outfield during games that may want a better seat. Add lights and that would be all they need for the immediate future. At least softball has an upside.
One thing to keep in mind is that according to HerdZone.com softball is a non ticketed event,
The following sports are not ticketed and are free of charge:
The following sports are not ticketed and are free of charge:
- Cross Country
- Golf
- Softball
- Swimming and Diving
- Tennis
- Volleyball
I would rather have an upscale small park that is filled than a larger park with a handful of fans. I always thought the add on metal bleachers looked trashy.
It's not ideal for sure. But not sure how much money in the BOG plan has been allocated to the softball complex for expansion. I know they have lights coming l

Actually, if memory serves me correct, we have JJ, Chris Cline, Jeff Hoops, and Mike Dantoni to thank for contributing a VAST majority of the funds to the Vision Campaign. The funds built the IPF, Softball and soccer complex I believe.
Dot Hicks Field was built in 2008.

The softball field was built by Kopp using money that Satan's Vile Servant, KO Marcum, diverted from football fund raising. It was a part of the lies he told the donors and to BP that led to BP having to leave the university.

I was referring to who scheduled Alabama and VT for Softball.
My bad. I assume it was MH. Maybe Megan does her own schedule.
The truth is, Alabama reached out about playing here. Not sure who extended the olive branch on Virginia Tech but this is a natural game for both.
