I bet there is a big room with nothing but a big button in the middle of it.
To switch from football to baseball you just press the button.

maybe so.
There isn't much to do other than move the stands and build the mound. I bet they have that down to an exact science.

They also have to build mounds in the bullpens, remove the gridlines on the field, take down goalposts, install the sliding pits and bases, line the field for baseball...pretty big job for less than 12 hours to accomplish it.

Interesting fact:
In the past they had 11 AM baseball games with evening college football games scheduled. They would suspend the baseball game, no matter the inning, to make way for the football game.
These people have their priorities right.

No kidding
Play in baseball game to decide which team goes to the playoffs...wait a fucken day while we play a regular season football game.
Anyone who still thinks baseball is America's pastime is an idiot.

Hahahaha...Did you know the U of Minn is like the 3rd largest in the country? I heard that random fact last week. They have over 50K enrolled. Nice new stadium too.

their new stadium is pretty cool. Although, with 5ok plus students, you would think they could fill a bigger stadium than that.
