[NU Sports] No Respect

[Roy S. Lamberton]

There is too much construction happening around the Softball Field to play a
game, much less a Super Regional. I'll take the "neutral" UI at Chicago site -
its downtown and it fits the criteria.

I understand that the DePaul field doesn't meet the requirements or we would
have had to play a lower seed "away"
