I just went around the interior of the ball park. The field looks great. After heavy use during the summer the grass seems to have recovered. The lights are all up. One panel of the new scoreboard has been installed. Progress!
The lights for the soccer field are also up! Great times.
I was downtown for an appointment this morning and saw a big group of athletic looking kids walking together. They were all wearing Gonzaga gear, so it must be their baseball team. They ended up going into the Hallmark Inn so that must be where they are staying
I'm deeply disappointed in the new scoreboard though. I found it impossible to read. The really important information a baseball scoreboard should present would be the score, balls-strikes-outs, and who's at bat. All of this information is provided - but it's small. Is a photo of the player more important? I'd argue NOPE. In addition you have to view the scoreboard through the netting which further makes the small text difficult to read. I hope this format is re-evaluated because as it stands the new scoreboard is LESS USEFUL than the old one. And that's a bad thing.
