They’re not moving off campus. Games will still be played at Bainton. They will be playing a number of games each year at this new facility, but they’re not abandoning on-campus facilities (current or future).
This is the best theory I've heard, but even if the 'stop gap' theory is true - I still hate this. We are in the B1G - all of our games should be played on campus except for the time it will take to build a new stadium ON CAMPUS (which I don't even see any talks of). So now we are going to charter our players from New Brunswick to Edison to play a game in front of pretty much zero of the student body. Sounds like some backdoor deals were made where certain people got taken care of with very little thought of how this will affect Rutgers baseball as a whole.
Wasn't this one of the main ideas behind stopping to play games at Giants Stadium? There was no sense of 'ownership' and that this was ours. Same idea - pretty much all games need to be played on campus - FULL STOP!
Didn’t read the article or the follow up from the baseball coach? Moving “some games, split schedule” to this facility. I read that as weekend games to garner more community support. It’s a 3-5 year contract. Starting in 2026.
Middlesex county politicians would never let that happen. Would have to give up too much control to RU and the state. You know how many no show jobs they would lose out on.
Who runs their stadium and who will run this one? Is theirs on another college campus? Theirs is 4 miles from campus and a 7 minute drive. If Rutgers built their own ballpark at the old Sears it would be a good comparison
been there plenty of times...the WVU stadium is very close to the campus, behind a shopping complex on a beautiful hilltop......very pleasing and would be the equivalent of moving to Johnson park vs Banton field...
Put in next to Top Golf on Route 1 in Edison
Find something else to like, but stop hating everything about NJ and Rutgers. Your act is tired, and if it's not an act, geez, go get laid or something.
IDK what to believe. Aaron usually has solid and positive takes. He says is saves money to build the football practice facility.
That is apples to apples then.. very off-campus for WVU. Glad its working out for you all.
The amount of people on this board that don’t read past headlines is very alarming
Well, as has been hinted...he's not spending any on this venture.
It’s run but the county, in collaboration with the University and a minor league team that occupies the stadium in the summer.
Ironically TD Ballpark was in talks and wanted to build in Piscataway. To my knowledge major sticking point was alcohol sales.
How would the hundreds of people in the Raritan apartments (across from Dewey Heights) get to route one?
He hates facts that interfere with his false narratives. But that's how he rolls.
Very easy, access to Route 1 via a u-turn overpass a little further down on Route 18, very common option. Ends don't justify the means. John Lynch ran a criminal organization with bribes, kickbacks, pay to play and pay to get promoted, harassment, etc.
This is my concern. Especially this being a multi purpose stadium. hopefully this doesn’t delay progress with on campus lax and baseball facilities.
Unfortunately the problem isn’t limited to just this board. The number of folks that read headlines and stop there with fully-formed opinions is staggering.
