Have I mentioned I hate this field...

Not one good thing about it. If there is a maroon dogpile on it later tonight I reserve the right to change my opinion.
I hate the whistling **** more. And when they scored earlier, some girl was screaming bloody murder, and that was equally annoying as the whistles.
I have discovered if you pretend the whistlers are birds...
it just makes you want to shoot some birds.

While we are taking jabs at our opponents, the V on their hats are ridiculously large and distracting.
The "dirt" portion is really shiny too. Reminds me of Legion Field when we played there a few years ago (or maybe it was another team I was watching ... anyway, way shiny and you could hardly see the players).
Apparently Vandy has no money to build a real stadium nor money to maintain a real grass baseball field. Instead we are forced to play the SR on plastic rubber.
Was listening to Cohen correct Jim, and jab back n forth about it last night I figured I'd share. Jim said something about the fake dirt. So Cohen said his dad was a wordsmith and taught him that dirt is what's on your shirt. It's called soil when it's on the ground. Jim said well they don't have that either...I always get a few laughs listening to Cohen on the radio, but Jim held his own with him last night.
Oh, and as far as their stupid field, their stupid looking stadium, the whistling and the "V-boys", it would be embarrassing having them represent us in Omaha. We need to win today just to make everything right, if for no other reason. Go Dawgs! Put those bananas to those "V's", and score a lot tonite!

Fact is Vandy is a small school/campus and have limited place to build practically in downtown Nashville. Not defending it at all but you can stand in one spot and almost touch the baseball field, football field and gym at the same time.
With that said, the field does suck but I’m wondering if it has to do with being able to get enough sun on it to grow grass. And the stadium itself has room for a small upper deck and a few sky boxes to be built IMO.
On another note, their fans have to be the whiniest, most entitled fans I’ve been around. They ***** about everything and one jackass on the first base side went off on a State lady after the review of Hunters foul ball out and he almost had about 5 of us beating the ahitbout of him. They usher even said to calm down and they got a cop up there. Dude was with his daughter and got shut the 17 down!!

Nashville is building a new stadium for the MLS team, vandy declined to move football games to this new stadium, which I think was the right decision; also Vanderbilt isn't downtown so I'm not sure what building downtown has to do with it . Its an academic school with an alum base mostly unconcerned with sports.
Can confirm they are mostly clueless when it comes to sports. Child recently heard a VU student speaker say they thought they were "part of the SEC and... that's sorta a good thing... I guess?"
I'd say far more than half their student population doesn't even know they're playing baseball with a trip to Omaha on the line right now.

They have enough money that their chancellor, Nicholas Zeppos, is the highest paid college president in the United States.

Not a popular opinion for sure, but I'd say they have about the right emphasis on sports. Too bad all universities (supposedly academic institutions with sports as a fun-to-do sideline) don't do the same.
You'll probably have a great time as long as you don't mind yuppie, hipster, gluten free, gender fluid, whole foods shopping, Zima drinking, man scapers that are more concerned about what new fruity micro beer to mix with oatmeal and wash their rescue dogs with.
