Anyone know if the games against Bama are gonna be televised next weekend? I'm gonna be out of pocket for spring break but would like to record them if possible.

It might be on ESPN+ or SECN+

Rant warning:

 

The bleachers may be Plonskyesque, similar to the LF dilemma in baseball a few years ago.

-  The area is now mainly used for tailgaters,  mainly player's parents,  friends,  and others who bring lawn chairs.  The players often go there after games to eat with their parents and socialize with the fans.   It is a great atmosphere for everyone.    Perhaps there will be room,  but their space is greatly reduced.

-  Note the $5 charge.   A GA ticket is not much more if any with frequent specials.     There are fans that watch the game for free there,  like the LF wall.

-  As seen on TV,  a large part of the fan base are young softball players and their families.   They will not want to sit in the bleachers to miss the excitement of the stadium,  tshirt/prize giveaways,  and being on the videoboard.     The scoreboard/videoboard can't be fully viewed,  if at all,  from the bleacher area even if they are on the cameras.   Perhaps they will have giveways in the bleachers.

-  imo,  Texas Softball is not yet at  the point where bleacher seating is needed.    Perhaps temporarily for a Regional or Super Regional or key games,  but certainly not on a permanent basis.

-  May be wrong,  we'll see.   Maybe it is just a trial for Cat's ceremony.   Just hate to see the environment for the parents and fans affected.

 

Boosted by its first No. 1 ranking in 14 years, Texas Softball (20-3) is adding temporary bleacher seating behind the right field wall for the remainder of the season. The new stadium set-up is slated to begin with the Tuesday, March 25 game vs UT Arlington when Cat Osterman's #8 jersey will be retired in pre-game ceremonies. Less than 100 general admission tickets currently remain available for that game at TexasSports.com/Tickets.

Once regular stadium seating is completely sold, general admission bleacher seating will become available atTexasSports.com/Tickets. The right field bleachers will have separate entrances, portable restrooms, and concessions available for fans. Tickets will cost just $5 per person and will not include access to the rest of the stadium.
