Thank you. How about any WW fans who were there ?

The field itself is very nice. Field Turf infield with grass outfield. Had to use the lights for Saturday evenings game and they were very good. The amount of room behind home plate is a little short.

Overall dimensions are short. 325 to left field foul pole but there is a higher wall so it probably plays a little longer. Not sure about the other distances as they are not posted.

Not sure how I feel about running the game like a Northwoods league game rather than a WIAC game...Announcer was great and the sound system was adequate.

The wife says that the bathrooms need some updating but they are better than a porta-potty!

Looks like the Metrodome will be closed until sometime in March. 300+ games canceled.

Time for the Brewers to step up to the table...

Do you have a source on that?

I found this article but it doesn't give a time frame.  It sure doesn't sound like they are planning on hurrying though.

Since I live in Minneapolis I am able to listen to the radio, tv, etc. There was a report on one of those that said they would not be able to get the dome back up till mid to late March.

Now there is a story on D3Baseball.com that states the Metropolitan Sports Commission is trying to decide do they repair or replace...stay tuned.

That being said, it should be done for d3 games in late February. Specualtion has it done in a few weeks.

Looks like speculation is wrong...   I see that St. Olaf has canceled all their Dome games.

The Metrodome will be "closed" until sometime in March. The media says 300+ baseball games will be canceled.

What I do not understand is why, when UWW had about the same year last year as UWSP had, this year that UWSP would get to stay in the Midwest. Is there something about the length of travel with UWSP being a little further north? Or is it some more diabolical (political) that keeps them from sending UWSP out of the Midwest?

Otterbein did not make the trip to Florida so everyone that had a game scheduled with them was scrambling. St. Thomas was supposed to play them as well.

Maybe because they are tired of all the coaches kids and the coaches best buddies kids getting to play.

The UofM has not recruited a Minneapolis Public School kid in forever and there have been some decent ball players.

Sad...

UWSP is eliminated. Licht pitches a shut-out. Those kids from Minneapolis Southwest can play ball...

Being from MN I can tell you that there are a number of parents and players that are starting to hear about the WIAC.

With the increased costs of MIAC schools the UW system seems to be a really good deal. I know that this year almost half of the starters for La Crosse were MN kids. I have not checked out Stout.

Superior gets Mpls Washburn H.S. best player next year.
UWW has one of the better players in the past few years from Mpls Southwest.

Hello all,

Fun weekend in WIRapids...

But look at what I found on my Monster job search under the keyword baseball this morning:

Head Baseball Coach/Development Officer

The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse seeks a head baseball coach for 25% academic-year appointment and development officer for UW-L Foundation for the remaining 75%. Coaching responsibilities include all areas of oversight of the program including but not limited to: on and off-campus recruiting; program organization and planning; coaching and training student-athletes; developing game plans; staff management; and, involvement in team fundraising projects.

Review of applications begins June 9, 2008 and continues until position is filled.

Any chance this is old news? I did not see anything on UW-LAX website about a resignation earlier in the year, etc.

UW-W and UW-Stout did indeed play at the Metrodome Saturday.

Game 1: UW-W: 9  UW-Stout: 7  Winner: G. Donovan (not totally sure on that though).
Game 2: UW-W: 7  UW-Stout: 0  Winner: Munn

First game started at 1:04, second game ended at 6:30
Attendance: Few, but sleepy.

The Twins are in KC, The Gophers never made it to Chicago flight was cancelled...guess which airline the may have been flying.
From what I heard the other games were moved to Monday.
