“We’re hoping to play some games on it this spring,” Ed Schrader, president of Brenau University, said about the softball field on a 16.8 acre tract, which will become the university’s “home field” for athletics. Schrader emphasized the “hope” part of his sentence, noting weather delays have been common during the past several months. The softball field is phase I of a two-phase project that will provide fields for the school’s softball, soccer and track and field teams.
