If you are pleased with the recent results of the baseball team, then there isn't an issue with the facilities. However, if you want to win the A10 and go onto success in the NCAAs like was done in 2002 and 2003, then investments will have to be made. A lot has changed since 2003 and there are more programs vying for talent, many with better facilities. Let's take them one at a time, shall we?
Indoor hitting and pitching facility. I can tell you that many of the local competition have these facilities. It is important to have these facilities so as to keep sharp in the offseason and to keep pitchers' arms from injury in the cold. This facility should be pretty basic for all teams north of Florida.
Running water at Pitt Field. Seems kind of basic, doesn't it? I imagine most of our competition for talent has running water in their stadium and in the dugouts.
Stadium-type seating. UVa, VaTech, George Washington, Elon, Wofford, Furman, George Mason, Tulane, ODU, High Point, Gardner-Webb, Dayton, UNC Charlotte, Jacksonville, Duke, JMU, W&M all have stadium seating with bathrooms, nice concessions and will host a tournament. Need more?
Lights. See above. Lights are required for night practices, mostly, and to be able to host a regional, provided someone can think big.
Field. No problems.
Spirit wear and gear. No problems.
If VCU baseball is your standard, then there are no issues. If you don't mind going 32-28 and losing in the A10 tournament every year, then there are no problems. If you keep losing talent to programs like W&M and watch them go the NCAA regionals, then no problems. If you like just showing up to the field, plopping down in your folding chair in the RF and watching your quaint little program, then there are no problems. If you don't mind losing top talent to peer institutions, then no problems.
I maintain it is tougher to win in D1 baseball than in FCS football, though that is not to diminish the 2008 accomplishment. I'm not saying that UR cannot win without facilities, but to build a program to be proud of, you need to make investments. Most other institutions feel this way and many have made them. So are they all wrong and UR is right not to?
