In reply to: can you elaborate posted by HTownND

In addition to the bus ride, you don't have your locker room, team room, indoor hitting facility, or other amenities that you have by playing on your home field. Even if the SB Cubs gave the players a locker room to use, the players would then have two separate locker rooms. It's just much nicer being on campus, close to everything that you need. I can also tell you that when the team played a handful of games at the SB cubs stadium in 2014, it did not boost attendance in any way. So not sure that would even help with getting fans out to the games. I do agree that ND baseball facility could use an upgrade, but don't think playing at Four Winds is the solution. The easiest way to boost attendance and to increase fan experience? Win. I guarantee you the experience would be better for everyone involved if the team won more.

Somehow Duke has found a way to make it work - ndzippy 2019-06-19 13:37:36
- Duke isn't winning because they play at DBAP - NDIrishBB 2019-06-19 13:54:16
  - Correct; they're winning in spite of the "inconvenience" * - ndzippy 2019-06-19 17:09:17
