I think it is pretty expensive
I think we get one shot at this for the next 10+ years. As much as an annual facility commitment of $1M/year over 10+ years might make sense, I don’t think it would continue to make the budget. It doesn’t make sense to build good on top of bad (the erector set) to me, so you spend a fair amount of money just replacing the base infrastructure.
Unfortunately, every year that we don’t do this, the cost of upgrading stadiums seems to be growing faster than inflation. I don’t know that we can get to “pretty cool” for less than $10M.
If softball is the #6 athletic priority in the 6 year plan, I’m going to protect my heart and not get too hopeful yet. We desperately need a softball enthusiast with DEEP pockets!
