I was at this game, very exciting and enjoyable. Some constructive criticisms of the venue:
1. How about making these games more of an entertaining event for the people of SCV? It’s too low keyed as it is.
2. There’s no water fountain near the playing field. A helpful security man drove me across campus to a drinking fountain in the PE building.
3. How about a play-by-play announcer on a loud speaker ala Dodger stadium? TMU has one (although he’s not very enthusiastic). Surely there’s a communications student at COC who would love the job, for pay or credit.
4. TMU prints a 1-page roster of both teams (2 sides). Can’t COC do the same?
5. Maybe charge a small fee for seats in the infield stands. This would cover the cost of an announcer and printing rosters.
6. Are the outfield fences marked with the footage, I don’t recall? If not, they should be.
7. How about some bleachers along the outfield lines?
8. More advertising of upcoming home games might eventually draw lots of fans. These games are exciting to watch and the players are all highly talented.
These ideas would make the game more exciting for fans and thus for players too.
