I can't imagine that Iowa would put the considerable coin they have into getting FieldTurf on the playing surface (the entire field is supposed to be covered with the stuff before the school year starts) just to pull up stakes and move the whole shebang--at least not in the near future. They could expand the capacity; rumor had it at one time that they may expand the seating by placing aluminum bleachers starting from where the current concrete structure ends and going to the first light fixtures. It would then have a capacity of about 5K. Not bad for a B1G park. In that scenario, they would likely tear down the current concrete grandstand and build a new one, with all regular seats instead of aluminum bleachers. The aforementioned expanded areas would be the only aluminum bleacher seating. That could make it the nicest school-owned park in the B1G (Haymarket Park is big and nice, but U of Nebraska doesn't own it. The Lincoln Saltdogs--a Northern League independent pro franchise--do and they lease it to the Huskers in the spring.

The Big Ten Baseball tourney has been happening for 33 years now. After this year Nebraska has just as many wins as Iowa does in the tourney. It took NU 3 years. Lmao!

cruhawk the beauty of Field tuff is that it can be moved to a new stadium as it is not a permanent fixture like real turf.
my question that nobody has answered just how many do other BT stadiums hold?
there are enough minor league teams in the state to model the new stadium after. I have never been to the one in CR but I have been to the one in Waterloo many times and it even held a farm club for the KC Royals. the Cubs triple A one in DM is to big, but it could serve to model one after in a scaled down manner.
in the end its all about what does Iowa have to offer in the manner of facilities to attract the top players. there have been a number of top Iowa players that have gone else where to play Baseball,
maybe Heller can borrow Shimonek from KF, as a JR he went 5-0 with a no hitter, even TX wanted him as a pitcher he was also the teams SS and a pretty good one at that.

Iowa has fallen behind nearly all other Big Ten teams the last few years. Minnesota finished renovating Siebert Field last spring and Northwestern is in the middle of fundraising for major upgrades to Rocky Miller Park. Likewise, Indiana and Purdue have both built new stadiums in the last few years while Penn State and Nebraska play in professional stadiums. Hopefully Coach Heller can parlay his successful first season into significant facility upgrades.
Husker C would expect nothing less than a Nebraska fan rebuttal from the 90s. Difference play I showed happened 7 months ago to one 15 years ago. To each his own.
According to this page on Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NCAA_Division_I_baseball_venues
Illinois - 3000
Indiana - 2500
Iowa -3000
Michigan - 4000
Michigan State - 4600
Minnesota - 1500
Nebraska - 8500
Northwestern - 600
Ohio St - 4450
Penn St. - 5406
Purdue - 1500
Wisconsin does not have baseball.
Rutgers - 1500
Maryland - 2500

thx looks like Iowa's stadium is about the avg size then some how I was under the impression that 6000 was the avg,
it would not take that much to fill it then if Iowa has a few more seasons under Heller in the future. looks like all the sports program are improving under Barta.
raising about 2.5 million dollars to upgrade the facilities related to Baseball would be enough for practice and locker room facilities. and maybe 4-5 million for weight training facilities,

went looking and on HS it shows that Baseball games are played in Sept and Oct, then it starts back up in Feb, it will be interesting to follow this team next spring. to bad the OT Board in premium now. but at least the Mods didn't mind this being posted here as it has now made it to its 3rd page,
even though the nebbie fans keep telling how superior to Iowa and the BT they are in every sport.

considering the past are you syrprised, I'm not, just look at the BB program under Lick and Alford give it another season like this last one and the fans will support it. this state is sports hungry. 3000 seats is perfect have success for 3-4 years before approaching the public for donations to build a different stadium,
how hard would it be to divert some funds to the Baseball team?

A JUCO?
Iowa baseball sucks, so bring a JUCO into the conversation of NCAA Division I baseball, got it. Got any good Little League programs you want to add as well?
Nebraska averaged over 3300 per game.
-----
...last year's attendance figures when Nebraska averaged 2,366 fans per game. This year, through 27 home dates, the average is 3,338 fans per game, a full 33 percent increase.

we are talking about Iowa fans, they are quick to support a program that starts to win, like I keep saying I didn't follow the Hawks in Baseball because it has never really been talked about, this year it is being talked about so I got interested,
who would have thought when I started this thread on March 17th. that it would still be posted in June not me that's for sure,
sorry but losing 20 out 25 season does that to a fan base, Heller is bringing excitement to the team and will energize the fans, just like Fran did in BB. give it a couple years, if Heller makes back to the BTT and has another 30+ win seasons there will be all sorts of excitement around the Baseball team.
after all there was a poster complaining about the losing by the other sports programs at Iowa, that is changing in all the sports programs,

After living in Omaha for six years, (and loving nearly every minute of it, aside from when Husker fans rag on me for being an Iowa fan), I can without a doubt say that Nebraska fans are baseball fans, and thusly make Nebraska a baseball school. I have gone to four or five other teams' home games, depending on if you count neutral site games, and can honestly say that I have never been as into a CBB game like I was at haymarket (right?), except for Creighton. Another Nebraska school.
I know for fact I did as it is timed and date stamped on the 17TH OF MARCH just like evey post is date stamped
why, what kind of lie are you going to make up about me AGAIN?

May 17th. 05/17. March is the 3rd month of the year. May is the 5th month of the year.
You didn't create this current handle until the 24th of April. How could you have started this thread, with the same name, in March?

And Iowa is still where they belong: at home, never having the chance to even play in a regional, and living vicariously through other teams. Nice field down there in Iowa City, btw.
Debbie came to the B1G thinking they would run roughshod over everyone in Baseball, reality is Debbie hasn't done jack shit.

pull up your pant SMH that is illegal in most states as its called indecent exposure or in some states flashing, as I scanned my post rather quickly and I related it to fact Iowa beat Nebbie in Baseball back then
don't ever make a mistake and I mean ever as you will find me up your A** ABOUT IT.

LOL. You are an idiot. College degree from Texas A&M, plus a couple of years in law school and you can't tell the difference between May and March? LOL! You even stated that it said "March 17th" You said it was time stamped with the date March 17th Think about that dumbass. You actually saw those words in your head and posted about it.
As a matter of fact Kilroy, when you were asked if you were sure if you started this thread in March, here is your exact quote: " I know for a FACT I did as it is time and date stamped on the 17th of March". JFC, People label you as our "village idiot". You know why you earn that label?
Wow, that whole "Debbie" thing sure is creative. Let me guess, you are a product of the Iowa Writer's Workshop. Nah, that's not big-time enough for your abilities. You're well above the fray.
Angry little freakish dope..
Like I said, you're quite the creative fella. Graduate of a community college somewhere in small-town Iowa, right? Oh, BTW, how was that regional your team went to? Last thing I heard of Iowa, they were heading out of Omaha early, after packing their suits with mothballs.
