I have never been to an NDSU softball game....ever. But seeing what this team has accomplished at the end of last year and now this year has peaked my interest. I think I may have to go see them this weekend.

The free admission perk for baseball & softball is directly related to a price point of $50/barrel oil.

Sadly enuff the softball complex is in need of an upgrade.They have been the "flagship" program in the Summit for years, And all the while practicing mainly in a gym and using a stage for a batting cage.The bleachers maybe hold 50 people and unfortunetly are usually not full.The only other NDSU sport that has it worse is the rugby team.Would love to have some Shelly Ellig type person make a nice contribution ($$) the softball team.Also cant help but wonder if having the indoor bubble hasnt helped in the success so far this year??

Several years ago there was some talk that it was the next on the list after the BSA project. I thought they were talking $ 1,000,000. Dugouts, bleachers, scoreboard etc etc.
I agree it is in need of an upgrade.

I do not recall if the artificial turf was discussed or not. Technically not sure if Artificial Turf would be a real benefit. I know that the schools that have it normally are still not able to take advantage of it due to weather anyway.

Concordia and most of them are infield only so the outfield can still make it unusable.

It's amazing how well we recruit with totally crap facilities. These gals deserve better facilities and have arguably been the most successful D1 team. A million is a lot but in the grand scheme of things it's chump change

The bubble has to be the best thing to happen to the softball team in a long time. Unfortunately most years they are not going to be able to practice outside even if a chunk of change was dropped into the outdoor softball field. The truth is that's a lot of money for 10 home games a year (and lots of years some are cancelled for weather anyway) for a sport that is not attended well and for fields that sit empty most of the other times of the year. I would concentrate on getting them the best of what they need for practice in the bubble or track complex and give them every opportunity to have the best practice areas for a softball team in a Northern harsh climate.

I think there is a lot that can be done that wouldn't cost too much money but still make make is look like the championship DI program we are. This is an older picture because I know they have gotten new outfiled walls that are green with championship years on it. But an upgrade to the dugouts, bleachers and press box would make it look a lot better.

Very valid point about spending $$ and 10 homes games.In a perfect world, NDSU builds a state of the art facility for softball and then partners with the High Schools & the Park District to have EDC games there and host a State Tournament.And also have summer league fastpitch teams play games there.With Mickelson being rebuilt and downsized and the new complex in (almost) Hillsborro not complete there is a shortage of fastpitch facilities currently for this summer.Sorry for the dream and semi thread drift!!!

Bison"FANatic"
04-03-2015, 03:59 PM
This would be the perfect type of facility to do in conjunction with many stake holders. The use that NDSU alone would use it makes it seem out of reach but if it was done in conjunction with other teams using it, it then becomes more palatable to the checkbook. It would have to come after Darren has everything he wants and needs for cold weather practice though as that is where we will get the most bang for the buck.

You mean Harwood/Argusville, obviously I get you're probably being a bit over the top on purpose... but I could only hope that distance north of Fargo was "almost Hillsboro". It really isn't that far north, maybe just a bit more north than how far south the Anderson fields were when they built those.

04-03-2015, 05:43 PM
Yes, Over the top on purpose cuz I am a very south Fargo person.Should not have used Hillsborro cuz it could get confused with the place farther north up I29.

Its too bad the Bison couldnt use the Fargodome more in the Spring for softball too get some more home games.Invest a little $$ in safety for better seating so the fans are not so far away from the game, That sitting in the south endzone just isnt fan friendly.After all they play softball in the UNIdump in Cedar Falls.

Went to a game last year and yes upgrades are greatly needed. It felt like I was at a softball tournament waiting for my team to play. New Dugouts, press box, and maybe some stadium type seating would help immensely.
