Stadium Pics - March 1st

As we head off to Spring Break today (California for 10 days), I thought I would leave you all with some updated stadium pictures. The weather is still making it too cold and wet to work, so you can see how the construction team has been moving along. They tent off sections of the stadium and run heat under the plastic. It keeps everything dry and warm and allows them to make progress! Very Interesting!!

Inside the Tent in the Stands. It is probably 80 degrees in here and 15 outside!

Good Times in AZ!

A special thanks to Greg and Barb Laing for hosting our team last weekend while we played at the Kajikawa Classic at Arizona State. The hospitality was overwhelming and we were pretty much spoiled rotten! 

Also thanks to all of the other parents, alumni and friends of Notre Dame Softball who came out to watch us play. We by far had the most fans!!! GO IRISH!
