Showcase Operators.....

This is half tounge in cheek and half real.

I realize the weather has adversely affected a couple of showcases this year and over the years it has probably affected many...

Have you ever tried to run a showcase in a dome? I realize the costs are probably pretty prohibitive, but isn't the astrodome sitting idle these days?

I am sure many college campuses have inflatable practice domes as well.... ( we have used Rutgers dome in the past )

Cong,

Actually we have held several events in Domed facilities.

Tropicana Field in FL, Metrodome in MN, UNI dome in IA, etc. The most affected events for us this past year have involved big tournaments that require many fields.

Does anyone have a domed 13 field complex? Smile

If so please let us know.

Jerry;
It is called Tucson, Peoria and Surprise, Arizona. Perfect weather and you can split the events Florida and Arizona.

Select two winners from the Florida event and two winners from the Arizona event and we can play a Goodwill Series/Perfect Game in Las Vegas.

A great event for the HS web people. Our contacts in Las Vegas will be most interested.

Doesn't USABaseball split their events?
I personally think, the way this has become such a big thing, that splitting events east/west is a great idea. Especially the way things have gone as far as weather down here, it might help. The way I see it, weather is supposed to be like this for about a 8-10 year period. JMO.

By the way, PG, is the NCAA allowing D1 coaches to attend Jupiter?
