  • Yes. Plenty of beer.

    CBB.

    Plus the carbonated wine chiller things. I forget the brand.

    Maybe more. I can't recall.

  • And the Public Address System is still way too loud.
    Had people (first game people) said why is the PA System so loud?
    Retired 10 years early to follow Herd sports.
    Those 10 years have been marvelous.

  • Here is the list of drinks available.



    Also, I agree and it's not because I'm old because I'm not, but the PA address guy is really loud.
    Everything else is ok. Music, etc. it's just his voice is very very loud.
    My kids have sensory issues too, so we had to bring ear muffs for them. And that was the very first thing they said.

    If he'd turn it down from an 11, to say an 8, all would be good.

    Back to the video board too, it's still too small to see that far away. You can make out the big ball and strike dots, but it's super hard to see the score. From what I can tell there's no score total anywhere. Just the ones each inning to add up. But it's really hard to see that far away being so small. Plus today the sun bleached it out.

    It's expensive but the prices are for a pounder sized can, which makes it a little better.

    Poured the rain and there was 1 hour delay after the 4th inning. If you would have watched the game you would have known that. Pitiful.

    Sounds like another athletic field/arena at Marshall with a loud PA problem.

  • Still working on installing speakers.  Outfield ones not there yet, so they turned up the volume on t he ones closer - hopefully they get it tuned in going forward.  Stadium still a work-in-progress.

    Pretty sure that's the same price as at football.

  • I've talked to some people in the know and the powers that be realize the scoreboard is too small. They must have got a special deal since it looks to be the same size as the new softball one. I bet it'll be upgraded in a few years as the cost of scoreboards aren't what they used to be.

    Cant wait to see it in person.

    I wouldn't mind a separate digital board with just the score, hits, errors, count, etc.  The existing scoreboard is fine for replays (if they're going to start those), graphics, player bios, and the like.
