How is your baseball stadium ?

Our baseball stadium is worse than our basketball arena. Our facilities suck, dude. It's a credit to our coaches that our basketball and baseball teams are even competitive. We were invited to join an FBS conference exactly one year after we got our football program started. Facility-wise, we weren't ready for it yet in anything but football (and there only because we can rent the Alamodome). It was an opportunity that was too good to pass up though, so we went with it. But as a result, while we were already a little behind the Joneses, facility-wise, in FCS, we're WAY behind in FBS, and have been scrambling to play catch-up since.

Looking at your facilities link on your athletic website and it lists what appears to be an alternate baseball stadium named Wolff Stadium that seats 9700. I remember from this past baseball season where our radio and sports info guys had to sit in the bleachers to broadcast and stat track our game at Roadrunner Field (800 capacity). What's the story as to using Wolff Stadium for conference games similar to how Marshall uses the AAA Power Park in Charleston (?) for CUSA games?

I realize our (USM) basketball facility was in it's prime over 50 years ago so I feel your pain
