I've always thought Warner Park in Madison would be a great site for a regional, either the Central or the Midwest. I've heard it's been suggested a couple of times, but the City of Madison is reluctant to kick out the high schools (children of taxpayers) who use it for five days.

that would be a great location, what about any of the northwoods league stadiums? Wausau is questionable, but Eau claire is awesome...

do we have an inning/ who was pitching for point to start (and if different for the slam)?

biggio34 · May 13, 2009, 05:00:29 PM

point had 2nd and 3rd with no outs, didn't score in the 8th

4-4, top of 9

defense...defense...defense...that's what will get you through regionals, and if you don't play good D, look what happens...grand salami...not over yet pointers! go get it in the 9th!

defense was my only real concern coming into regionals this year...so far for good reason.

but given our past late inning heroics, look out tommies (see ripon from 07)

probably the best comeback i've ever been a part of or seen...all off of the same pitcher too...unbelievable

I wouldn't do Wausau either (315, 360, 312 and no parking), but Eau Claire or La Crosse would be good too. I doubt UW-Eau Claire would want to host since they don't have a team. La Crosse would work though. Either Edgewood or UW-W could host in Madison. I haven't seen Green Bay's park for the Bullfrogs, but maybe St. Norbert could host there.

the bull frogs place is nice, but I think the mallards place would be the best overall atmosphere with all things considered

Brewers20 · May 13, 2009, 05:21:20 PM

any news on the 9th for the UWSP/UST game?

biggio34 · May 13, 2009, 05:22:30 PM

4-4 bottom 10

Brewers20 · May 13, 2009, 05:23:09 PM

nm...i see it has gone to extras....wish i was there!

Another game going extras, good start to the regional with teams having to use more arms

How many seats would be needed to host a regional? Marian just built a new park in Fond du Lac but I don't know if it has enough seating. Looking at pictures I would say 500-600.
