Notability[edit]

I did a media search for this field and came up with only three items that refer to it other than in passing as a venue for an event being reported on:

1
2
3

I don't see any of these conferring notability on the venue. Are there other references that evidence notability? ^Bongo_matic 03:33, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Same topic of 2, but different article and outlet here. Also, here. I interpret the "significant" in GNG as applying within the scope of the sources themselves, an interpretation that I believe is backed up by the explanation of "significant coverage". By this understanding, it matters more that the field is a major discussion point of the five articles we have than that there are only five articles. In any case, the five come from a total of three reliable, national, secondary sources. For me, that satisfies GNG.

In addition to this, the stadium is the home venue for a major sport at a Division I institution and has hosted several conference tournaments of a major Division I sport (not that I'm trying to equate college baseball with football or basketball).

~~I'll have time later to work some of these sources into the article.~~ I've worked some of the sources into the article. Kithira (talk) 13:06, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The first of those is a press release, and hence not a reliable source. The second one is passing mention in the service of coverage of another topic. ^Bongo_matic 01:55, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
