Does anyone know of any problems at the tourney? I'm sure attendance wasn't too good. Was there any administrative problems?<br><br>Keep in mind ORU strongly supports their Baseball program, and Tulsa certainly can add more than Macomb for players and fans. However, for future opportunities to host conference championships, any issues need to be addressed.<br><br>One time recently,WESTERN hosted the track and field championships at D3 Monmouth College's facilities. Is manpower an issue for these types of events.(volunteers)? If so, I would think a call for volunteers around the Macomb area would be well received. Area schools and booster clubs could pitch in.<br><br>It would be unfortunate, but the championships will probably be in the metro areas- for attendance and financial support. Maybe the financial support is the key.Wed, 27 Jun 2007 17:19:53 GMTLeatherface
