2023 Softball đŸ„Ž

We need to figure out how to enclose the Sue, and charge people to get in.

Adding a party deck down one of the lines or in the outfield shouldn’t be too expensive. Has to be elevated though to be able to see the field.

With the new stadium coming sometime down the road, you don’t want to spend too much on something temporary. The new stadium is going to re-configure where home plate is too.

Softball clubhouse is supposed to be pretty close to starting construction too.

Do we know what the proposed initial seating capacity for the softball stadium will be?

Per that chart
our attendance figures were calculated on 99.51% seating capacity of our 300 seat facility. Doesn’t matter how fun we are to watch if we can find a way to get them in the door to watch.

If expansion isn’t happening this offseason (which I’m pretty sure it isn’t) we do need to find a way to get creative and add more seating to take advantage of our momentum
and allow those numbers to blow up next season!

Pretty sure Ashley is getting paid $100K-ish per year
Donna Papa was making $170K at UNC before being let go. From a percentage standpoint
Ashley would be basically doubling her salary. But it’s only a $100K difference to do that. It’s not like Football where another conference can offer millions more per season to poach a coach.

She can win the AAC easily
get to the NCAA dance easily from the AAC
she’s already proven she can recruit and win here when we were only known as a dumpster fire. UNC is NOT a big time softball program. Money would be the only reason to leave
and if we can’t get her close enough to or even match what UNC can offer to keep her here
Mike is an idiot.

Losing her for less than $100k would be far worse cluster f#$% black eye for Mike than getting played by Mike Houston or keeping a lame duck Sanchez for 2 more seasons than he should ever have been here.

Why would she take the Chapel Hill job when she can hold out for Carolina in the not too distant future?

Could you take a stab at when a possible date would be for them to start constructing a new stadium? I know there are clearly more pressing facility upgrades but I would love for them to make a new softball stadium

100k is more than 95% of the population makes. That’s a helluva raise. At least it is in my eyes.

Here’s what they make over in the SEC:

Geezus
Oklahoma’s softball coach makes $1.6M per year
well, at least she does win.

And they’re headed for the SEC. I wonder which direction SEC salaries are headed?

Ashley is not going to Chapel Hill.
