They have to bring in temporary bleachers. I’m guessing they’ll have to add food trucks and portopotties as well
Holding baseball back?!?

UCF's baseball stadium is capable of hosting a regional. Not that it does a lot of good when the team itself hardly ever even qualifies for the tournament.
Our softball stadium is kind of tiny, only seating 600 people. Hopefully they can set up some temporary additional bleachers down the 1st base line. They are also planning to sell standing room tickets beyond the left field fence.
We sold out many games this year, so I think we could easily get 1,000 - 1,200 UCF fans for the UCF games in the regional.
Are we required to sell Michigan one hundred tickets or something? I could see them bringing fans

ORLANDO – For the first time in program history, the UCF softball team will host an NCAA Regional and are the No. 16 national seed. They'll welcome Villanova, South Dakota State and Michigan to the Orlando Regional beginning on Friday.

Michigan already beat us (shut us out) earlier this year and we also lost to 2 other B10 teams including 8 run ruled by Wisci....we're obviously a better team now so we have some pay back to administer to the B10
'We have a job in front of us': UM softball to open NCAA tourney against South Dakota State

Sounds like Michigan has been close to hosting the past few years and is losing patience with the seedings. They'll be a tough out and we'll have to play our best. BTW, although we did lose to Michigan early in the season, we beat Nebraska more recently and they beat Michigan in the B10 championship game. This should be a great matchup.'We have a job in front of us': UM softball to open NCAA tourney against South Dakota State

A nice round of 90+ degree Florida weather will give us an even better home field advantage on the weekend games. Hope those teams bring their sunscreen.
Glad me and my buddy secured our tickets early, but I imagine there will be a large contingent watching from the outfield fences for free.
Should be a great atmosphere. Let’s rock!!!

Wow I'm getting more and more excited about UCF and Big 12 softball.
Since this is our first time hosting a baseball or softball regional it got me thinking. Will this event be a 💰maker for us? $25 general admission and $15 standing room for the weekend but I have no idea what it cost to bring in extra bleachers and other cost.
I can imaging the biggest source of revenue will be a $4 bottle of Dasani water.
Don’t get me wrong I’m super pumped about hosting but I’m just curious if this helps move the needle for the Mission XII revenue goals. ⚔️🖤💛

Good question, but I’m thinking this is a way better alternative than paying to send our team on the road. For decades, our Admin & Athletics Dept have been very vocal about our desire to host regionals in both baseball and softball. I would like to think there’s a real financial benefit as well as a competitive one.
I didn’t even think about the cost savings to staying home. That is huge👍🏻
