Well, in baseball, the top of CUSA v2.0 was pretty competitive. And Rice didn't escape CUSA v3.0, so CUSA v3.0 still has one top flight baseball school.

USM's pretty good as well, but I think he was referring to the realignment conversation that somehow weaseled its way into a thread about baseball stadiums and/or the preposterousness of the idea of ranking them.

Ah, well, my vision is iffy ~ I usually have no difficulty reading the posts in this forum, but I might have difficulty reading people mistakenly reading a sarcastic response to the criticism of talking about baseball stadiums in a MAC sports forum as a genuine invitation to make this into a realignment thread.

But I really am serious, if Akron can get Canal Park, where the Indian's AA club the Aeros play, as their fulltime baseball stadium, that is a real nice facility for MAC baseball. I briefly flirted with the idea of going to see Kent play Akron at Akron this spring, and if they had been at Canal Park I would have been much more likely to go.

I like Kent's baseball stadium. It is not huge but it is nice for its size and it is getting (or has already received) improvements as well.

It should be noted that not all college baseball stadiums were ranked, ECU's Clark-LeClair has not been reviewed yet.

Also, reading those reviews make the rankings look stupid. Some stadiums were visited only once, while others draw off several visits. There was no group ranking each stadium to gather, rather it was one person rating one stadium, while another rated a different one.

Take the Charlotte ranking vs UNC. I've been to both. There is no comparison, UNC's Boshamer Stadium is far better than Charlotte's. The only thing that is worse is parking. And to be clear, I'm a diehard ECU fan that hates everything about UNC and Carolina blue, excuse me baby blue. UNC put more money into the field than Charlotte put into the entire stadium.
