milehiiu Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Fantastic facility. Only wish the vid was longer. As a student, living at McNutt. I would cross over to where IU baseball was played. Hardly anyone showed up for games. But... I did. I attended little league fields in Gary, Indiana that were better. No facilities at IU. No food. And just a couple of port a potties. IU baseball has come a long way from then. Even having Coach Knight showing up for a game was a treat. Thanks for the vid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrus13 Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Cool video. Wish it was a little more in depth but it was good nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 I'll say this about Bart. In a prior life he was considered competition. He used to speak at some area meetings here in Indy and his schedule was a thing of beauty. 30-40 appointments per week. 7 days a week. The guy never stopped. There's 4-5 others on insurance side and another dozen or so on investment side that are bigger in Indy and 2 in Bloomington....and all are IU fans. None of those men/women put their money where their mouth is. Thank goodness for Bart. Changed IU Baseball forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Program grows by the day, obviously he was an integral part of that. #BuildtheMonster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Just checked Wiki. Capacity at the Bart is listed at 2,500. And saw some seasons where average attendance exceeded capacity. Time for a bigger boat ? Far cry from when I was in school at IU, and maybe on a good day, a handful of fans came out to watch IU baseball at home.

Now we've hired multiple elite level coaches and sending players to MLB every season. All started with facilities and a vision by a few. So awesome to see. Can't tell you how much I enjoy coming down for 4-5 games per year at the Bart instead of chain linked fence across from McNutt and Briscoe when I was in school.
