There are a few reasons for that.adam914 wrote:Only at URI can putting lights at a field be made to sound like a feat on par with building the pyramids. The park where I played little league found a way to put lights up at 4 fields in like a week.
1. It costs significantly more to properly light a college football stadium so games can be televised.
2. Not only does it cost more, but you also get less use out of it. Chances are your town uses the little League lights more in a week or two then we'd use ours in a year.
3. Knowing that the east side needs to be redone and not knowing what if anything will be done to the end zones, it doesn't make sense to put up lights until you know what the stadium's long term footprint will be.
4. There's no need for lights right now or in the immediate future.
