Am I the only person that thinks all schools should steam their softball games online for free? If the University of South Carolina Upstate can do it, then the SEC, ACC, and PAC 12 should be able to do it too! We are trying to build a fan base and grow support, not nickle and dime fans with fees. I also think schools should make admission free for everyone until they start having sell out crowds!

If all the games are free on the line then less incentive to get fans to live games. Softball does not generate a profit, take away the little income they have and watch their program start going down hill! The sport of softball is not what governs what these teams do, the school and conferences do. And the conferences are out to make $$$, so why would they do anything to benefit anyone but them. Not saying that it's right but it is reality. If the games are free they could not possibly SELL out. lol

My DD and I went to see GT play UVA a week ago and admission was FREE!!!! I would be that is a school by school decision vs. a conference decision, and I will amend my "sell out" statement to "standing room only"....

We haven't been able to go this year, but in years past at the early Tennessee Sunday non conference games admission was $4 total for daughter and I. Daughter received a voucher for a free hot dog and coke worth $7! Nothing like getting paid to watch one of the best teams in the counrtry.

Completely agree with this!

I know it isn't easy to do, but there was a great college game locally starting at 7:30pm Saturday night.... and 1200 girls playing at a tournament 20 minutes from their field. Surely a quick walk around and ticket/concession promotion at the tournament would have brought in some sort of crowd.

The few local college games I have attended have had a great in game experience... admission is free, promotions done almost every game, peanuts & tshirts thrown in between innings, not a bad seat at the facility... and yet my local high school charges $5 (lazy in my opinion).
