re: Nice article on the Superdome’s place in baseball history

Tom Schwaner, then the head baseball coach for UNO, recalled his team’s experience playing in the Superdome. “It was exciting to play in front of the large crowds, which were unusual for college baseball at that time. From my point of view, it was an excellent facility for the college level. Our guys loved playing on the artificial turf. The foul lines were kind of short, but there was plenty of room in the gaps for triples and potential inside-the-park home runs.”

He added, “The tournament was a showcase for the teams and the players. You wouldn’t believe how many baseball coaches around the country lobbied me over the years to get their team a spot in the tournament.”
