We need a Softball forum....

The lady shocks are a top 25 program this year, how about throwing them a bone?

Also, how in the world do we come up with the money to keep Kristi? This season isn't a one hit wonder but now that we are ranked, she is going to get even more press.

Yes, I agree. The one softball thread a year should not be lost in the clutter of the other single threads for the three other sports.

I don't know, I count 18 softball threads from this year on the first page. It would make it easier to follow the program.

This is awesome! The ladies deserve support and having a little extra room isn't bad. Plus it could add a cool environment/vibe for those there.

I'm really curious how this years team performs. They had a damn good season and I know there were some young contributors, but we did lose some major talent as well. Hopefully Kristi keeps it up. Would love to see them become a more consistent top 25 team and continue to build.

Well, this is nice, but it is time to tear down Wilkins and build a serious softball stadium - the kind you see ESPN a lot. Hit up the big'uns that support MBB and shame them (if you have to) into supporting a women's sport.

So what would a serious softball stadium have? Covered seating, stands built into a bowl made of concrete, better concessions?

Just curious cause I dunno.

Those. Bigger, elevated press box. Bigger dugouts. Better onsite practice amenities. Possibly all of the seating is not covered and probably not as many seats as a Florida or Alabama. A berm?

Probably connected to the indoor facility adjacent to baseball.


Others may have other ideas.

Not expecting a new stadium anytime soon. But if and when we get to that point I would prefer as little covered seating as possible. The last thing we need during the college softball season in Wichita, Kansas is more shade. More wind breaks yes.

I understand. The program is at the point of deserving, but due to circumstances, not at the point of getting.

Good point about the covered stands. The last time I checked, we are not in Florida or Alabama.

I guess you never know when a wealthy patron might decide that they would want their family name on something at Wichita State and pony up enough to kick off a fund raising campaign.
