Four games at the Klotsche? Really!!??

Every time I think things can't get any worse for this program our admin proves me wrong. In addition to the exhibition game AND the Western Illinois game in the non-conference season, it has now been announced that the final two CONFERENCE games -- Detroit and Oakland -- will be played at the Klotsche! If any one thing has been proved definitively in the last few years, it's that we CANNOT continue to play games in that D-III level gymnasium. Unless that's where our brain trust is going to take us -- wittingly or unwittingly.

It's truly a case of not knowing whether to laugh or cry at the continuing devolution of our program.

So they aren't playing home games at the Arena with their name on the building? That seems...very strange.

The Arena with their name on it, but which they don't entirely control. i wonder what's written into the contract between the WCD and the Athletics department. How much benefit does paying for naming rights actually confer on the program?

Personally, if I were UWM's athletic department, I would see if the Admirals would like to take over naming rights of the Arena. Then I would use that money to build a baseball stadium that is at least as nice as Kapco Park.

News flash: No one gives a **** about college baseball.
