Lindsey Nelson Stadium,

Relationships are everything to the Italian culture. If it were about money, Tony would still be here. With taxes and cost of living, he's keeping significantly less of his money now. And I'll never buy that the Giant's job was a dream job for him.

Bingo. It’s a BS narrative that college coaches are longing to coach in the majors. They aren’t.

Talking about Lindsey Nelson, my grandson's 14U travel team (Knoxville Stars) played a game at that fine venue this past Sunday. While only about 100 folks were in the stands it was still electric to us and them. He played SS and remarked how bouncy the turf was but in the same breath he said he LOVED it, LOL. He drills a double and a couple RBI's in the attached vid.
Sound really carries in that venue.

It's interesting they put carpet over the dirt mound for the games

I wonder how long the donors that live well out of town will keep buying season tickets?

I know many consider this throw-away money but I got to believe they won't do this forever, even if the program stays at a high level and especially if they have 1 or so down seasons.

If so, the stadium will likely start looking full more often as more locals (like myself) buy the tickets.

This is very evident with the porches. They were packet every game but rarely did that happen in 2026. The UTAD still gets the money whether they come or not, but it still looks better when the seats are filled.
