NDSU used to hold a spring tournament in the dome each year...Back in 2002, I saw a girl from U Mary get her leg caught on the old turf while sliding back to first base on an attempted pickoff (she slid feet first for some reason). The new turf should eliminate that risk.

SOFTBALL: Weather puts UND on the brink of missing Big Sky tournament

Ah they play on field turf I believe. Cant play at the Alerus or move their
games to alt sites like NDSU does...My OH MY

Great Job NDSU on keeping the Softball team on the road for another
Summit League title...

Here's a view of what the playing field looks like... Interesting how they got it to work.

The Bison sweep SDSU....Just like in football the Jacks struggle to do much of anything positive in the Fargodome.

Bison win 2-1 today, Whitney Johnson struck out 13 rabbits and only allowed three hits.

Did anybody go up to these games in the dome???? How was it to play softball in there? Any major problems or did it work out well or just feasible given our circumstances?

They should just give her the keys to the league offices because she owns the summit.

Lighting was great. PA system was great. Scoreboards were great. No wind. Decent temperature.

Right field was the only dimension a little short for a normal softball field. They had "constructed" a wall to make up for it though. The remainder of the fence was built using the blue padding from around the field and their portable fencing pieces.

Sliding into bases seemed to be the only thing that bothered the players too much.
