[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 2085950, member: 590800"] Has there ever been any talk of a renovation to the baseball stadium, Illinois Field? It has its charms, but my perception is that it is probably bottom third in the Big Ten, at least the stands? Not 100% sure about that. I imagine we would have to get a lot better at baseball for a sustained period of time, but this recent streak got me dreamin'!!
