Akron's Firestone Stadium=credibility for high school softball



So Ashland has been a fine place to have the state softball tournament. A very quaint feel and they have upgraded since I was first there for a state tourney in 2000. I also understand they are doing even more upgrades and renovations to keep the tourney there in the future so this year's tourney will be in Akron at Firestone Stadium. Seems to me, this stadium give high school softball the credibility it deserves and is the type of venue a state tourney should be played at. No offense to Ashland's ballpark, but softball's increased popularity demands a high-quality venue much like the state baseball tourney is played within at a couple sites in Cbus.
