Y’all can (and probably WILL) disagree, but I don’t understand scheduling baseball, in Corvallis, in February/early March. I LOVE going to the Beaver games…. but I’m not going to freeze my ass off to sit through it. Miserable for the players, too. I’m a candy-ass.

It certainly doesn't help recruiting, at least for a certain percentage of kids.

I realize it's expensive to go on road trips, but it's too bad we couldnt avoid this early season s%#t weather......although, some years the weather sucks almost the entire baseball season.

100% with you. My dad asked me if I wanted to go to a game this weekend and I told him no.

If it were a conference matchup, maybe.....but when it's cold enough to be a snow/rain mix.....nah, I'm good.

Hear me out. Let's buy a ton of powerball tickets and if we win build a dome. Make it 20k seats and become a destination for tournaments!

It's fool proof.

I used to feel like this. I've sat in many a duck blind. I've stood in many a stream, in winter. Hell, I grew up trolling for steelhead on the Columbia, in EO.....I've got the gear.

Thing is, I have a million other things going on with kids sports, home projects, other family commitments......every weekend is full of stuff. If the weather is gonna be total s%#t against NDST, I feel like my time probly better spent on an indoor project, and kids basketball/volleyball.......I only get to go to so many Beaver games. I'd rather go when the weather is better. Not to mention I live in Salem, so it's a little different then if I lived in Corvallis.
