Our HS field is nicer than 50/60% of the college fields I've been to in the last 5 years. We have a local D2 school that's less than 10 miles from us, their coach said she would gladly trade fields with us anytime!
Lets see your best Title IX violations.

I dodnt have time to answer properly. Its always a whiner who complains about title 9. It deserves more respect than that
The photos are from Gates Field at Kearns High. Ive done many scouting trips. That field it a multi purpose facility. This stadium seats a couple thousand
If you're going to be "cranky" be forthcoming and know something about title 9. Also, bring donation numbers to the argument. That's an old field that has a lot of fans willing to give
Sadly softball has trouble selling boxes of doughnuts to raise money
Most HS baseball/softball facilities (beyond the basic field) are paid for by the dugout club. So, this thread is stupid.
Work on the 10th Commandment " You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's hitting facility”

There's your answer.
Yes and title 9 also stipulates the funding is based on participation
This however is NOT TRUE.
Source of funding is NOT considered in a TitleIX complaint and investigation. Just beause some booster gave $5m to baseball does not come into account if the program does not meet TitleIX requirements.
I think some of you may be missing the key point in the OP:
To someone else's point, DD's Team did not need a stadium with the amount of people who showed up for games. Fields she played on for home field was great. Park district did a great job making them ready.
Most schools she played against were the same. Some were a little iffy but did not go look at thier baseball field to see if it was the same.
Baseball field was better but DD was just fine. I could put my chair down the OF line and watch without stands being in the way.

It makes absolutely no sense to build a stadium like Oklahoma has if a NAIA SB team has 50 or less people at every game. They should have a quality field and training facilities though.
