the smart thing for Vanderbilt since they are short on space is to demolish that terrible football stadium and build a 40k stadium off -but near campus.
Then use the space to build.

(1) Expand the baseball stadium seating to comfortably full size
(2) Build a softball stadium and actually start a program
(3) Build a basketball practice facility.

To be honest, they need to likely demolish the football stadium, gymnasium and baseball field and just start all over again in a common-sense, planned way.
They could build an Auburn-sized gym (About 9,000) whose exterior is not a mess of 35 jagged corners
Shift Hawkins field a little to the north and create full stands
Build a softball complex and a shared training facility for baseball and softball
Then build a nice 35,000 football stadium with a better footprint in Nashville somewhere. Hell! they could become a welcome tenant at GEODIS Park 3 miles from campus.

Mike Trout just made a baseball reconsider it's faith in God in the first inning against my ChiSox.
476' first inning 2 run HR on 2 strikes and a ball that Lance Lynn basically put up on a tee

Trout should ask for a trade he is from Jersey maybe the Yankess lol. Angels haven't won in years and Ohtani is eyeing Dodger blue after this year

I tend to focus on the Braves games but I will watch highlights and box scores of other games that interest me so I can keep up with teams come playoff time.

On June 1 in Baseball History...​
  • 1917 - Hank Gowdy is the first major-league player to enlist during World War I when he signs up in the Ohio National Guard. He will play until he reports for duty July 15.

  • 1918 - Losing 5-4 against the Yankees, the White Sox load the bases in the ninth with no outs. Chick Gandil lines a shot to third baseman Frank Baker, who turns it into a game-ending triple play.

  • 1925 - Lou Gehrig begins a consecutive-game streak that will surpass Everett Scott's mark by pinch-hitting for Pee Wee Wanninger, the shortstop who replaced Scott in the Yankees lineup. The next day, first baseman Wally Pipp shows up with a headache, and Gehrig takes over.

  • 1941 - Mel Ott's two-run homer, the 400th of his career and his 1,499th and 1,500th RBI, gives the Giants a 3-2 win over the Reds.

  • 1943 - Rip Sewell of the Pirates throws his dew-drop ball in a game. Sewell loops the ball 18 to 20 feet high on its way to the strike zone. Later it is called a blooper or eephus ball. The pitch is more than a gag, and Sewell is on his way to a 20-win season.

  • 1959 - Two-time champ Monterrey, Mexico is barred from 1959 Little League competition for its failure to comply with the rule that specifies using only players from a predetermined geographical area.
