What's this?

Remember seating capacity.


VT seating capacity is 1000. Most of the "nice" softball stadiums mentioned hold below 1,000. VT used to hold about 600 during the Angela Tincher days.

VT would have been in line to host a regional back then, but was rejected because of lack of seating capacity. That fate could await some of the "nice" stadiums today. In some cases, maybe they can install some temporary seating to get a regional hosting opportinity. That would be as crappy as our trailer park press boxes.

I am glad that VT first concentrated on seating capicity before fancy press boxes. Having said that, it's time to upgrade the press boxes.
