I think we're arguably Top 5 in the ACC, but it's close

Clemson is the gem and UVA is very nice. I would put Louisville near the top of the mix as well.

Because it is new, Duke probably has to be near the top, but with seating for only 500, it's not "knock your socks off" impressive. FSU, on the other hand, has an "official" seating capacit of 1,000, but has had a crowd of 2,500 for a game against Florida. Tradition probably gets them in the top 5.

In spite of our "trailer park" press box, VT is probably nicer than UNC, NC State, Georgia Tech, BC, Pittsburgh, and Syracuse. The indoor facility gives us a huge boost, IMHO.

I have not seen Notre Dame except on television, but it was considered "state of the art" when it opened in 2013.

I spoke to a national softball writer during the Notre Dame series and his unsolicited comment was "you guys could use an upgrade," so that was humbling to hear.
