Topic: Softball For VA Tech

[Flat Tire 2]

I am not much of a softball fan, but maybe MU should look at increasing the seating above the 400 limit. Maybe softball might turn into a revenue sport?

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. ? Marshall's softball team will host a game against No. 22 Virginia Tech at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, April 25, at Dot Hicks Field.

The following is a list of logistical items in accordance with the contest:

Seating
-        Capacity for inside the gated area at Dot Hicks Field is 400. Player families for both Marshall and Virginia Tech will have names on a pass list at the Player Entrance, which will be located at the gate on the third-base side of the facility.

-    A limited number of general admission fans will be permitted access into the gated area. Fans seeking this access will line up inside the cattle-gated area off the first-base side. Once capacity is reached, fans will only be allowed inside the gated area on an in-and-out basis that does NOT exceed capacity (Example: two-in, two-out or four-in, four-out). It is advised for fans to prepare to sit in the outfield.

-    Seating is as follows: 1st base side bleachers are reserved for Virginia Tech. The 3rd base bleachers are for Marshall general admission. Chairback seating behind home plate is reserved for Big Green members and Marshall player families only.

-        Due to an expected large crowd, pets will NOT be permitted in the grandstands.

-        Fans are permitted to bring their own chairs for outfield seating ONLY.

-    Fans are NOT permitted within 10 feet of the railroad tracks behind the left-field wall of Dot Hicks Field. 
Parking

-     Tailgating spots are being sold through the Big Green office. For more information, contact Big Green at (304) 696-4661.

-        Free parking is available in the HMDA lot (old ACF parking lot) directly across Third Avenue from Dot Hicks Field. There will be NO tailgating permitted in the free lot.

 Additional

-         Concessions will be located inside the gate at the first-base side location and also in the outfield beyond the center-field fence.

-         Bathrooms will be located inside the gate on the third-base side (in behind the press box) and down the first base line outside of the gate.

 They added bleachers outside the left field fence in addition to the bring your own seats and sro along the right field fence.

This is in addition to the 400 seats within the park.

If the numbers stay up I could see adding additional seating within the park for next season.

Would help if they could knock off Tech.  Need good weather and hopefully another great turnout.  Softball has a rare opportunity, with TWO nationally ranked power teams playing at the DOT this season!!  Need to take advantage of those rare occurrences, IMO!!
