Is the field on the east side of the stadium used for anything?  Do the Lacrosse or Soccer teams practice or hold games there??

I've thought I heard that they do not.  If true, Boeh should have a lot of explaining to do.  They build that field in prime tailgating real estate and don't use it?  Then football (the sport that financially supports everything else in the athletic department) gets "shooed" off the field by lacrosse?

This is a microcosm of why this country continues to slip.

They do not play their games on the lacrosse/soccer field because this field does not have bleachers, restrooms or facilities to sell food. This is because they have no money to build these things.

I'm more concerned with the yellow markings on the field for soccer and lacrosse. Last season the markings were not too noticeable during the football games but I noticed at the Sweeney service that the yellow lines were everywhere on the field. I certainly hope they know how to remove all traces of these lines when football season starts.

Football fans payed for the installation of the Field Turf. I am willing to guess that the fans of the soccer team and the lacrosse team paid nothing. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

The white lot was full so these people who were large contributors were displaced with no real equivalent option to tailgate and just dropped out. The stage in the red lot where they had the bands and entertainment was done away. The Red lot was a College football tradition tail gate lot before the Lacrosse field .

Not much foresight in that move if they didn't have the money to complete it.

This is ridiculous. Are you guys saying that we shouldn't share any facilities? What about the volleyball team using the SVC? Maybe you guys would want them to paint some stripes in a parking lot and use that??

There shouldn't be any problem with the lacross team using the stadium, same goes for the soccer team. These teams help further promote our school...and the staduim. The majority of D1 school share the facilities. Do their fans complain as much as you guys do?

A couple of our players wanted to get some extra practice in. Great! No problem, we still have that practice area that we used to use. Let the other programs use the staduim when they can.

And Me! I donated for the field turf God Damn it! (Even if it wasn't nearly as much as the Mankins Family) And I didn't pay for some loser girls to run around on it.

Does anyone know the over-all record of the FS lacrosse team?

4-51 overall, and all 4 wins came last season and this season. They're actually starting to get girls now from back east who have grown up playing lacrosse and not just filling out a roster full of valley girls who don't even know the rules of the game and losing by 20 to the likes of Canisius and Detroit.

---------------------------------------------

4-51, yeah. They sure "represent" the university well.

That is to the two people who actually watch them play.

I don't give a sh*t about gender equality I care about Fresno State doing well and fact is that we took a perennial top 25 wrestling program in one the best wrestling regions in the country to make way for a 4-51 women's lacrosse team? How does that make any sense? I'm sorry but women and men are not equal, our bodies and minds are very very different. I know my rant accomplishes nothing but making me feel better but this is ridiculous.... 4-51? I can't get over that number... A 0.078 winning percentage... Makes me sick
