This is known and being considered for sure......but until the funds are

secured for the Cassell renovation, they are not going to deviate from that. We have already stalled the tennis facility, which has not been good as almost all of that money has been pledged, yet it still isn't done. Obviously Softball is becoming a higher profile sport, so the Athletic Dept. understands the need for sure. But, unless a specific donor(s) comes forward and states they will give to a facility upgrade for TSP (and that is their priority gift), it will need to wait until the Cassell "big money" is secured. Once that is done, I think you will see a push to upgrade TSP, and create some revenue producing seating (i.e. club type seating and suites)......
