ND-fan Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 If we're going to continue to with Softball this program needs to have facilities update if we're ever going to compete in softball because of our climate. They need to get to where they have bubble dome facility that would allow this team to have practice facilities as well as place to play that can schedule home games with confidence. I know this is not cheap thing to propose but without it how are we ever going to attract players and develop players if we can't provide facilities where they can play during the school year. I look at other sports like football, track, and soccer have been provided facilities because of our climate. This would have been easier to propose if also had a baseball team something I am not getting into, but if we are going to have softball then we need to start looking at how we can become more successful playing the sport. It's not fair to players, coaches, and university if we're going to just throw huge Somes of money to play the sport we have no intention of competing just to satisfy the NCAA and conference. I believe if there was some leadership for athletic administration and working with donors and Grand Forks community there is probably way to funding something like this. There is huge need for facility like this in Northeastern North Dakota/Northwest Minnesota and i believe it could generate revenue also by renting facility out for high school to play games, other neighboring colleges to also play games and finally to the public for parties and activities of being able to play during the winter. This i believe should be looked at and being discussed with future facilities for UND. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This i believe should be looked at and being discussed with future facilities for UND. UND is building a on campus softball field (outdoor), I know they have played in the Alerus in the past and I believe they use the Pollard Center for practice as well. The Alerus and Pollard are not ideal for softball but it's something. I agree it would help if they had a indoor facility that was for baseball/softball. Local high schools could also utilize and get funding from the city as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think that if Fenton said that the Summit League will be a FBS Football League with lax and men's hockey fundraising would increase...it would be a unique conference with those 3...FBS, hockey, and LAX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 The Men's CC team is a subset of the Men's Outdoor T&F roster. So why would you end CC? It counts as an NCAA sport. Men's ITF, OTF, and CC count as 3 NCAA sports (against the minimum sponsorship). Same for Women's. So there's six of the minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
