Parking at their football stadium beyond RF isn't much different than GS's additional parking at Hanner (our basketball facility). The only difference I see is that Hanner's parking is not immediately up against the RF wall, so it's maybe 50-75 yards further of a walk. Yet, our's is a negative and their's is a positive??? Not sure I understand the logic there.

Not even 50 yards. More like 25. In fact, I'd say it's about the same distance and you don't have to walk across train tracks.

If you're at the West side of the FB stadium, you don't cross train tracks. And, there's an entrance right there at the RF wall. Not much of a walk at all.

That doesn't answer my question though... Why is the same situation a negative for us, but a positive for them? The only difference is GS doesn't have a separate entrance in RF. Are you saying walking the length of the field is THAT much of an inconvenience?

I do have to ask if you've been to all the fields when determining your place in his list.

Again, I really don't have an issue with where he has us ranked. To answer your question, I've only been to two of the stadiums (GS and GSU) in the conference. I have seen photos of all of them, though. I actually agree that somewhere around 5th or 6th would be about right for us. So WHERE he has us ranked is not the issue. I just find it odd that the exact same parking situation is a positive to one stadium and a negative to another. It's not a big deal, just trying to figure out why.

Cool, just curious. If you get a chance to get to Conway or Lafayette, they are really a great environments for college baseball. Coastal has a unique and visually attractive layout. The Cajuns is a more traditional layout (except for the open viewing area underneath the grandstand) with a unique and knowledgeable crowd & and the the visiting team gets fed by the Cajun cooking club on Fridays (& Saturdays starting in April) just like the home team. You'll get respectfully heckled, but you'll get applauded/cheered for good play as well.
