    Why is price a factor with softball fields. If it was for a football program would they have to go with a lesser name (maybe not quality just name). so why should other psports programs get shafted especially the girls in any sport.

    Because its a proven fact that women can see better and therefore do not need better lighting....I thought this was a well known fact....:supergrin

    I was just stating that most good lighting packages cost around $100,000 and that aint pocket change...it has nothing to do with what girls should get. I just don't think you can get a lighting package that will last for 20 years less than $100,000..........:twocents:..............lets face it, if you going to do it, do it right !!!!!!:grossergr

    I agree with you CanAm, but I have to assume it is because of the baseball vs softball booster clubs. As I mentioned, the South Meck baseball field installed lights 3 years ago. It was fully funded by supporters of their baseball program. If the softball program has the same financial support, they could do the same.

    It may not be fair, but somebody has to foot the bill...and it's not going to come from the county athletic department nor the school system.

    Football and basketball is completely different and is treated as such. They are revenue producing sports, so they pretty much get what they want. All of the other sports are treated like step children when it asks for changes or financial support. I am waiting for the high gas prices to change the way the school systems allows their "other sports" to travel in the future. It is already affecting schools across the nation to cancel school days because of the high costs of running their buses. What do you think their attitude will be towards sports activity buses?

    Sorry for getting off topic, but it is a concern
