Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 1715963, member: 2504"] The Hartford Courant ran a story today summing up the conclusion of the season for the UConn baseball team. Buried in the story was this piece of stadium news: Plans to install an artificial turf field and lights at J.O. Christian Field have been put on hold, Penders said. The most cost-effective route is to wait until there are funds to build the proposed new ballpark all at once, which Penders said can be done in two to three years.

However, the donations that UConn baseball received earlier this year that are alluded to earlier in this thread have moved up the timeframe of their thinking on possible construction. [/QUOTE]
