Baseball, Soccer, Softball Fields

The varsity baseball, soccer, and softball fields are available for use only by permission of the Department of Athletics. These areas are not to be used for general recreation purposes

Blue Floor Covering Policy

If an event in either the Activity Center or Eagle Gym will require tables, chairs, food, or other items that could damage the floor, a protective "blue floor" covering needs to be put down by Facilities. Scheduling the "blue floor" needs to be coordinated through the Department of Athletics. All other support requests for events need to be made through the Facilities or Information Technology Offices.

  • Facilities will cover the blue floor 100% in both the Eagle Gym and Activity Center whenever there is food and/or drink being served at an event.
  • If food and/or drink is not being served a partial covering will be fine provided the group understands the requirements for proper shoe type and there is someone to ensure compliance. This partial floor covering setup will require a pipe and drape barrier to prevent walking out onto the unprotected area.
  • Blue flooring needs at least 24 hours prior to, and after, an event for the flooring to be put down and picked up. If there are back-to-back events, with one requiring blue flooring, the blue flooring event will be denied if there is not sufficient time to put the flooring down or pick it up.

Lightning Policy

The ability to continue outdoor activities will be based on the following hazard levels provided by the Earth Networks WeatherBug application:

  • ALL CLEAR (GREEN): Indicates a safe environment. All activities may continue without interruption.
  • Yellow: Lightning has been detected nearby. Monitoring of storm and/or system will begin.
  • Orange: Lightning has been detected less than 20 miles of location of outdoor activity. Group leaders will be notified that we are in a warning and if the storm is imminent. Recommendations will be made to discontinue the practice/event and head to a safe location. All outdoor lifts or camera locations will be lowered immediately
  • RED ALERT: Lightning has been detected within less than 10 miles of location of the outdoor activity, the group leader will be informed immediately. The University REQUIRES ALL outdoor and POOL activities to cease. All individuals must seek shelter as described below immediately. Outdoor and POOL activities may not continue until an ALL CLEAR level is reached
  • An ALL CLEAR will made when, a minimum of 30 minutes have lapse from last detected lightning strike inside the 10 mile radius, the timer resets with each detected lightning strike. Practice/event can resume when there are no further lightning strikes within the 10 miles radius of the activity location.
