They need to pay somebody to get that field a decent drainage system.
If Alcorn could play it's games after the rain storm, there's no excuse for southern not playing it's games.

If you knew where the stadium was located, you would understand the drainage. Speak on what you do know...... in other words, quit speaking.

Come on J94. Yall have been using that excuse for years and years. Yall supposed to be a school with excellent engineers, but not one of them can figure out a way to solve a drainage issue that's been dogging southern baseball for years?
Heck, where's the backup plan just in case? Are there no local parks that could accommodate the two teams? It's not rocket science.

Unprofessional because we had bad weather that made the field unplayable?

This has been going on for years and years. Yes, it's unprofessional for a division one school to allow the same old problem to inconvenience not just southern's team, but the schedules of visiting teams as well. This problem should've been solved a long time ago.
 
Game one: Bama State 16 Alcorn 3 final

Game two: Bama State 17 Alcorn 5 game called after 7 innings.

Yes, we do have excellent engineers!!! However, the location of the stadium was located in a bad spot. And the field, primarily the outfield, is right up against the property owned by the rail company. And it's amazing how SU weather woes are constantly downed and everyone has them. The field down the street, goldsby, is the home of brcc. Just worry about your team and field.

Let me stop, this some weak shit to complain about. I've lost hundreds of iq points and minutes of energy and time over bullshit.

Y'all carryon.

Come on J94, you one of the decent Jags on this forum. My apologies if I hit a sore spot, nevertheless you'd have to agree that there should always be a contingency plan in place for situations like this.

Lee-Hines field at Southern looks no different than the average baseball field.

JayRob, even though the pic looks no different than the average field, what you don't see is the outfield is in a "sunken place". If rains for more than 20 minutes, the outfield near the fence will be under water. If it rains for more than 35, most of the entire outfield will be a slip-n-slide. And if it's not above 75 degrees, that water ain't dissipating quickly. If you look at an aerial photo, you will see the outfield backs up to a fence. That property overflows onto the outfield.

As far as a "Plan B", the only other stadium in the area with good drainage is LSU......and SU is not about to be allowed to use theirs without a high rental fee.
 
Just out of curiosity, what's been tried in the past to rectify the field situation? Have field engineers been brought in to offer solutions? What about custom drainage solutions from qualified corporations to come in and inspect the drainage problems and offer solutions?
I would like to hear from JAG89 regarding his thoughts and possible solution to the standing water problems.
Where you at 89?

When I played in 2004-2006 that field was beautiful from the stands but the playing surface was terrible (although better than ours). When it rained, it was a lake. Every year, several games are canceled at their field because of rain. All the money Cador raised as SUJagtillDeath stated, you would've thought some of that money would've gone into a drainage system. I want to say the did update the surface a couple of years ago.

Dude STFU. Just know, where SU’s field is located, it use to be a swamp. SU has a drainage system BTW, but the Mississippi River is also very high, with SU being on the river, it further complicates the drainage problems. Just hush, you don’t know wtf you talking about.

They updated the surface again this season, that’s why we had to play our first home game else where. SU has a drainage system. The Mississippi River is high as hell, that effects everything on campus.

Lsu is having issues with their baseball and football field because of the High Mississippi River. Lsu couldn’t even scrimmage in their stadium Saturday. Ever year Lsu baseball field is in terrible shape because of the drainage issues being located on the river.

What's up with all this cussing and attitudes about a terrible,dilapidated, drainage poor baseball field? Did the folks who built Lee Hines know that the Mississippi flooded in that area? Seems like you guys would've gotten the problems solved by now.
There is such a thing as a machine to drain water from soak laden fields. Perhaps southern should invest in one. Problem solved after a few hours.
Now where's that JAG89 when he needs to be commenting?

Never heard of LSU canceling several games EVERY year due to flooding issues.

Lsu was supposed to scrimmage Saturday, they moved it from their stadium to their 50 yard indoor field. Every season LSU has to replace its field because of the effect the river has on it.
