I believe they are having an ice breaker according to Jeff. At South Commons maybe.

I'm flying down Thursday and staying at the Double Tree.

Best meeting area is the parking lot of the Holiday Inn Express for beers and Corn Hole. Just ask Josh Wiggs!!!

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend this year but am very interested to understand how things go at the new location. Is the plan still for the A to only be played at the stadium field? Looks like there has been some roster shifts this year, should make for an interesting tourney. Good luck to everyone and have a frosty one for me! Maybe I'll make it out next year.

Staying at the Best Western. We should just pick a place and time and do an Ice Breaker Thursday night or even start Wednesday night since some of us will be playing Thursday in the 40+ and Coed.

Stadium has 3 fields...although only one is technically inside the stadium. Word is that A will be played on those 3 fields.

Varsity A will be played on the minor league stadium. it is not located up there with the other fields, it is across the parking lot on the other side of the Civic Center.

We're all staying at Columbus Crossing...(Residence Inn). From the looks of it, plenty of restaurants, some shopping, and a movie theater. I thought I saw on USSSA Military Softball FB page there will be an icebreaker at the fields on Thursday.

Appreciate the info Wiggs. Lot of ground to cover in that heat. Do you know if the games at the stadium will be streamed this year? ESPN 3 might be interested to broadcast it, who knows?

Minor League Stadium

Has anyone heard what they are going to do with the mound, if they are going to shave it down or leave like it is and are they putting up fences at 325ft or is it the Minor league fences if it is left the way it is a lot of teams will struggle this year in the A division because I don't see anyone hitting hit 475ft to dead center or 375ft down the line is going to have to be one hell of a shot with a 12ft high fence. Can you say putting on the shift!!!!

If they use stadium balls it probably will not matter. If not, there will probably be a lot of teams hit out of the 5 man and force the pitchers to field their position.

I was told that the games would be live streamed this year, not sure which division, which games or if every field will be streamed.

as far as the field goes, the dimensions are 330 down both lines and 415 in center. Pretty close to the stadium used for the major world series....

There are only 13 teams in Varsity A, im sure they will play all games in the stadium. They going to need the other 9 fields to accommodate Varsity B and intramurals.
