    I thought that was the area by the World Series trophies -- there's standing in that area but no place to sit. I've always thought that area would be a good place for four top tables for people to picnic before/after games.

    It’s the space along the left field line below the actual plaza. It’s the space where the Adirondack chairs are.

    Just took a look at 2025 Schedule. They have made a couple updates. They now show Fl vs USF on ESPN+. The other four games show “Not Broadcasted”. So does 2/19 game against North Fl. Which is very disappointing as it probably means, as Rick has several posts concerning, they have failed to upgrade the broadcast facilities leaving softball as low man on the totem pole.

    I am hoping the they are trying to get the other home games streamed.

    The games against ASU and GCU in the Sun Devil Classic have been confirmed giving us now 3 games on ESPN+.

    The ESPN App shows a developing schedule both networks and streaming for the season. You may want to check that from time to time.

    ESPN+ doesn't do me any good because I'm not paying extra for it. SEC+ you get at no extra charge as long as you have the ESPN channels in your TV package. But to get ESPN+ you either have to subscfribe to Hulu+ Live TV or pay extra and I ain't doin' that. Oh well.

    You just need to get a full tank of gas and some tickets -- problem solved!

    And with what ESPN+ charges, possibly cheaper.

    If you can’t find a friend who has ESPN…Sign up for ESPN+ on Feb. 9th (USF game) and cancel at the end of one month. That gets you thru the early season for $11.99.

    You and I have had this conversation before and you apparently don't buy my logic. So, we have a minimum of three games on ESPN+ in February. What would it cost to actually attend three games? What...perhaps $50 per game for tickets, concessions, etc. That's $150. You can get ESPN+ for one month for $12 and then cancel. Seems to be a bargain. Even if you throw out the Arizona games due to not traveling there, the one game at USF still involves the same single game estimated cost and add the cost to travel to get there and back. Still seems to me to be a worthwhile expense.

    Why is Kara Hammock giving the batter the finger?
    If that's intended for Blue, she should wait until after the call.
