Sorry rgds, the fan experience for lax is absolutely embarrassing- no bathrooms ? Are you kidding me I am sure you are familiar with the distance back to the Hart - what do you think visiting teams say ? There are many bathrooms in the Luth/Hart right next door to the field. .What is the maximum distance allowed to indoor plumbing? I have been to other fields where the ports-johns (nmo biilsing) were a good distance from the field. Of course, since they are not HC, they must in the opinion of some be superior to HC. PS: Who is rgds? It is at least 300 meters (984 feet) away from the top of the fence for the hill that overlooks the field.

Of note, additional temporary bleachers may be installed for next Lax season to alleviate the congestion issue with the current seating. Nice way to say the seating is pathetic for a D-1 Lacrosse program.

Johns Hopkins yesterday in Baseball started a grad student on the mound who played four years at Qunnipiac. How do we feel about that? A D-1 player for four seasons that goes down to D-3 for a grad season? The kid is getting a graduate degree from Johns Hopkins. He must have been a very good student in addition to a great ballplayer. Obviously not even on scholarship. In a nutshell, this kid should be the poster child for what the NCAA claims to be all about. He had a career ERA at Q over 7. Some d3 people were complaining about it the other day so I thought I ask you guys

IIRC, there was a Chinese place on the opposite side of the parking field where we pre-game scorpion bowled back in the day, I hope the new school isn't taking that out. Assuming the city needs a new school (I don't always share the definition of "need" when it comes to cities and new schools) the McCoy site is a great spot for it. I can't see that being a municipal stadium like Foley Where did I say anything about a municipal stadium??? A private business should build their own building.

No one has ever said that the Ivy League doesn't have more than their fair share of NFL caliber guys. We all know this. It's their lack of willingness to compete at the highest level and circumvent FCS scholarship/aid limits. The Ivy ban on FCS playoffs participation is almost undefendable to IL champion FB players who watch men's and women's BB, hockey, lacrosse, soccer, rowing and all the other teams go to the NCAA tournament when they win their league. Very curious arrangement. The NESCAC has a similar arrangement too...

How's the McCoy Stadium area and site looking these days? Brand New High School going up there for the community.

You are thinking Buffalo Bills level leverage. Triple A baseball is not NFL Football. They only leveraged Pawtucket with Worcester into building the most expensive minor league baseball stadium in history.

Another year where the new tax revenue is not enough to pay the bonds. This when the bond payments are extremely small as the payment schedule rises dramatically in later years. The city has been fortunate to have been able to make up the early shortfalls with the sale of property. What however happens in future years when payments rise and there are no longer any land sales to bail them out?
Meanwhile back in Pawtucket, the final swan song for McCoy Stadium is soon to happen. The annual fireworks show that is held at the stadium on July 3rd will be the city's farewell event for the facility. Residents will be allowed back one last time to say goodbye before it is demolished to make way for a new high school. Perhaps Worcester should send someone down to observe the event for research purposes as it will face the same eventuality some day down the road. Pawtucket did well having a team for nearly 50 years. Runs like that won't happen as much in the future.
I would be stunned if the WooSox are in Polar Park by 2045. They will force the city to build a new stadium or move.

I thought I read somewhere that Winthrop was where the event was being held but they weren’t part of the field which didn’t make a whole lot of sense. I see where the Winthrop schedule shows the event. I believe Winthrop and Elon are usually pretty solid. Just checked Sagarin’s final rankings. Neither was very solid last year. Elon at 325 and Winthrop at 237. Didn’t look at Indiana Alphabet. I did a IUPUI game a few years ago at BC and they actually won

So here’s what we know… at Georgetown at St. John's at BC at MTE at Winthrop — three games, with the two other schools being Elon and IUPUI Six games in the geographic region (three at home, three on the road). I’m sure we can take an educated guess at a few of these games. I assume there will be 4 schools in the MTE tourney. BC and Georgetown aren’t listed as games, yet, on the D1 Docket. They just named the four schools in the post 🙃🙃

The top candidate for Easthampton Superintendent was rejected because he referred to two women as “ladies.” The second candidate was rejected because she supported the view held by many (most?) that girls sports should be limited to those assigned the female gender at birth. How many people are going to Easthamption that are transgender? The number has to be under 5 and not all of them are playing sports.

Did anyone in Worcester even know who he is? It has been 29 years since he coached at HC.

This particular league probably doesn't have the same view of Holy Cross as you. I would guess they are pleased with the late season play under Coach Riga and happy to have in their league whatever team makes sense for Holy Cross. If I was on a board of a non-profit league I can't imagine voting to issue an ultimatum like you suggest to any member school. Yea, teams in your league are building 70 million dollar hockey facility to be a non-profit league. We all know presidents run these leagues and HC is an outlier in Atlantic Hockey. You got to think Lindenwood is coming to Atlantic Hockey now on the men's side.

I try to ignore the ads that appear around Crossports whenever I go to the site. However, this one seemed a bit unusual: Donate Sperm And Earn MoneyCoupled with the info in Crosports about raising money for new buildings, is this a new fundraising scheme on the Hill? The ads are based on YOUR search history so you might want to check what sites you are visiting.

Not really significant - the CHA is a women's league - this is just a streamlining of operational expenses Got to wonder if the conference office is going to ask for a commitment from HC either bring the women's team back or get out.

The Intercity League has plenty of college kids in it...but I don't think they have many D-1 players hanging around there. From the League's website intercityleaguebaseball.com/about-us/Yeah, none of that is true. The team he's playing for is run by a HC alum, but nobody in the ICL is a professional baseball prospect. I'd be very few former minor league guys and 0 former ML guys. That is how "they" market themselves....

You don't shoot football at BC because on campus parking is hard to come by but you get on campus parking? It is just a pain in the ass to get out of there after a game. A four hour day turns into six hours. Less pay on the time worked with traffic and more issues.

This game should be very well attended. Maybe not a sellout given state of BC program, but close. 15K in purple for sure. I can't see many Holy Cross diehards missing this game. Maybe a generation opportunity for us to have a fighting chance to beat the Eagles. For those who have not attended a BC game, a fair warning that on campus parking is extremely difficult to secure. Most on campus spots are reserved for season ticket holders who I am told pay a pretty penny for a parking spot (I hear a single parking spot on Shea Field which is adjacent to the stadium is over $5K for the season). Many who attend either take public transportation (the MBTA Green Line has a BC stop) or park in one of the satellite lots (Newton Campus and the like) and take a shuttle bus to Alumni Stadium. It is literally the reason I don't shoot football at BC and I get on campus parking.

^ Since you're the only one who cares about it, why don't you do it tonite from your parent's basement after your JV Pickleball shoot. The sports they have wins and losses for 27-72-5 for a win percentage of 28.37.

Someone should do the math on the wins/loss record of this group in 2022-2023 school year. Did they win a combined 10 games? As you know, college track doesn't really have dual meets anymore so it is hard to deduce a wins/losses record, but I can tell you that HC did have one dual meet indoors. The Crusaders stomped the University of New Hampshire Wildcats in both men's and women's competition. Good to see my former employee helping HC succeed.
