What a lopsided complaint. The baseball field has existed long before the softball and has had that many more years for the work of the students, parents, boosters and donors to get those things whined about in the story. I painted the team name on the dugout. I painted the mural. I painted the Charger C on their old scoreboard (which wouldn't work half the time). My son-in-law worked his off maintaining the field, hanging the donor banners, and assisting all that he could. And we weren't the only parents ad supporters. No one could even pull weeds at the sofball field. Give it another 20 years and maybe it will look better too.

The drafted federal complaint also addresses concerns about baseball's spring Florida trips, alongside the facility inequities. Regardless of how these issues arose, the law mandates addressing their existence. Compliance with the law will be ensured, irrespective of objections.

You need to look at facility disparities between Champaign Central and Centennial.
