2024 Baseball Season

Most of the closest neighbors are UR employees, many living in houses on UR-owned land.

And stop walking your dogs, kids through campus. Stay off our lawn!

And marketing your real estate as “desirable UR area!”

Get sick of the "neighborhood" BS. University of Richmond was there first. If you chose to build/buy a home about it later, live with whatever the school chooses to do. You certainly don't have squatter rights so quit acting as if you do.

Look on Google Earth. There are maybe two houses on College Drive that can even see Pitt Field, much less be impacted by LED lights that have little ambient effect.

Both of which are part of the university's faculty housing program. The university retains ownership of the land while a faculty member purchases the house and then re-sells it to the university at a later date under a formula that splits the appreciation between the faculty member and UR.

Totally agree - its like buying a house on a lake and then complaining about the wildlife - like ducks and geese. It was there, and as mentioned above - its at most 1500 - 2000 fans, it will be very quiet.

I remember back in the 60’s and fraternity row was hopping. We had the same argument
“who’s dumb enough to buy a house behind a fraternity house?” LOL. It drove a couple of them
crazy, but most accepted it.

Maybe it's the neighbors on the other side in Marsh who are against it, now that it's no longer Marsh Zoo.

If you're going to have a padded chain-link fence - much safer than a brick wall, I agree - then you need to put some advertising on the padding. Oregon State does this and it's a healthy boost to the budget (see link below).

Glad to see more institutional investment in baseball. Hallock said he would do this and he is living up to his promise.

Wonder why we couldn't have put padding on the brick wall? Plenty of teams do this.

It was only brick columns with wrought iron fencing between, and the columns had overhanging concrete caps on them. Seems like it would be difficult to pad sufficiently.

plus if you adequately pad to the point the beauty is hidden what have you accomplished

Build a real stadium and surround it with the columns and iron fencing. It's long overdue. And don't forget the lights.

Based on this Instagram post, looks like Whitley is indeed back for another season. A lineup that includes Whitley, Bernstein, Jaffe, Pacheco + transfers should be very strong in the A10.

As always, the same question persists…will we have enough pitching to match?
