Feel free buddy! I'm about to close on my new crib.

Same general vicinity or a little more than from one side of town to the other?

Another issue with this new stadium is it is natural grass instead of turf so the playing surface is in mediocre shape. I know Turf is controversial but as far as north as we are and with how early college baseball starts its a necessity in my mind if you want good ball before April. Still 5-2 at the stretch.

About an hour south - Bunker Hill. Closer to the fam.

My god, we're practically next door neighbors.  I'm in Logansport.  When you get settled PM me and I'll be more than happy to give you the benefit of my 30+ years living in the area.

I graduated from Logansport in '91. Old stomping grounds.

I'm also calling out their crowd. For an IU PU game it looks well attended but not completely full. Of course their stadium puts 1,500-2,000 max I would think even with standing room so if you put many of our crowds in the mid and upper 2's and lower 3,000's in there you would have people sitting and standing on each others head. LOL

Still 5-2 after 7!

If your in Bunker Hill (or Logansport for Class of 66) you should be headed to Lafayette for game with how close it is. I'm in Indy and driving up tomorrow. All are barely an hr away.

I'm a transplant.  Moved here in '82; oldest daughter graduated from LHS in '92.  Once a Berry, always a Berry!

[Aaron 4,492]

Bart Kaufman has 2,184 seats not including the suites (I've counted myself) plus room for probably 1,500-2,00 more between outfield grass and all the spots you can stand around park. I bet PU's park is about half that in both areas but I'll count tomorrow.

5-2 to the bottom of the 8th.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 89,825]

Hey Aaron, ccg and I are trying to have a conversation and you keep butting in with baseball updates.  How rude.

You're doing a great job.  Keep up the good work.

 

[Aaron 4,492]

big trouble to start bottom 8. 1st and 2nd no outs as Kruger is new pitcher.

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Bullpen trying to crack again..

[Aaron 4,492]

Ugh. RBI single into right field corner near tarp that barely stays fair. 1st and 3rd still no outs. Kruger departs as announcer accidentally calls IU "Ohio St" as Lloyd takes over with score 5-3.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 89,825]

Right after I told Aaron he was doing a good job.  I am a jinx.

I'm just commentating. I have no control on outcome. LOL

[Aaron 4,492]

Misplay on easy out at 1st. Bases load now with no outs. Still 5-3.

[Aaron 4,492]

WIld pitch makes it 5-4 as everyone moves up 90 feet.

[Aaron 4,492]

Tie game on single. Still no one out with runners at corners. Our bullpen has fallen apart

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Wow! PU 6-5 with runners on 1st and 2nd and no outs..
