After experiencing Palmer Park in Charlottesville this past Saturday and
researching Liberty Softball Stadium to see that game this week, I'm convinced Pete D'Amour is the best recruiter on the planet for any sport. Period! Mic Drop!
Those two places are the softball equivalents of cathedrals compared to TSP.

built there cathedral for "only" $9M at the time and in FOUR months!!! TSP would be the best 10-20M investment for VT Athletics as far as facilities goes.

. . . will eventually be looking for a new coach. He can't be expected to swim upstream forever.

there’s a scheduling conflict the baseball team can play in Salem on those days, until the University can pony up the $$$ to provide a venue Coach and the team deserve. In the meantime, the money charged for conference games, since English Field will allow for that, can go toward the new TSP coffers.

In their opinion, Palmer Park has made a tremendous impact on UVA softball, both on the field and also in fan interest.
It is a beautiful facility.

needs to GO!!!! He's a lame duck. Good riddance. Just some, any, just a LITTLE TINY bit of vision from the AD, Ath Dept, and Administration would go a LONG way.

some responsibility. However, VT(and whoever that may entail) bears responsibility for failing to provide oversight and/or active management in terms of accountability and responsibility. The situation was allowed to fester in to what it has become and that is on VT, IMO.

It felt like a lot of wasted space. Wasn’t sure if that was done for future possible expansion. Looked like they could put a few rows of seats down each line. But otherwise looked like a roomy concourse. Great crowds. But noticed tons of Hokies.

They will also be bringing in extra bleachers for the ACC tournament.

but he was voted down as they tried to build the program so they prepped the area for future expansion.
