$5/person would take 133 years to raise $5 million

Assumptions: $5 per head for an average of 500 fans for 15 games/year to raise $5 million for softball stadium upgrade.

$5 million would not pay for much of an upgrade.

$5 per head admission would buy some small things for the team, but would hardly put a dent into capital costs. It would take a bg donor to step up or a major capital fund raising where softball stadium is a small part of the campaign.
