Who's bright idea was it to grant DBU a hosting site anyway? It's a nice stadium for the regular season with their level of draw. But not suited for the post-season stage when bringing in much bigger schools. 2,000 seat capacity, less than high quality, weather resistant field, etc.
Oregon State is a powerhouse baseball program with a solid fanbase. Texas is same and travels even larger. Yet they send them both to 2,000 seat Dallas Baptist? Come on. Every other site has played their scheduled games. I understand rain/lightning delays anywhere, but unplayable field in the playoffs when others available are equipped to withstand...lame.
It's great that DBU had a nice year and all, but the team and their facilities (in regards to playoff hosting) are different things completely. They shouldn't be lumped together when judging the suitability of each. Sites should be bigger and more weather resistant...especially in Texas. Even UH has 1,500 more seating capacity, and that's the second smallest host this year in Texas.
