Well, if no one is asking for night baseball, then lights are not needed. Which is what the developer has already figured out.

Softball Suggestion
You may want to re-read your last couple of posts...along with the title of the thread.

I called the Villages Recreation office and they estimate that the number of Villagers playing softball during the year is roughly 3000.

That's less than 3% of total villagers.

Useage of facilities.
I wonder what the percentage is of most of the activities. Maybe these 3000 are supporting activities they don't participate in.

I think the percent participating opposition line is weak. I would think a relatively small percentage of Villagers are involved in any single activity. And it appears to me that softball is right up there as one of the main activities in TV. The newspaper even compared its popularity to golf in a recent edition.
And personally, I'm not necessarily advocating for lights for the fields...just afternoon/evening softball, for which any added cost would be minimal. |

I wonder how that compares to archery, trap shooting, picnic persons, woodworking, and other interests that have dedicated facilities paid for by amenity fees. My thoughts is that softball participation is pretty high. I'm guessing that the softball participation in the community may be one of the largest senior softball programs in the country.

According to TV salesperson, bowling is number one, followed by pickleball, water volleyball, then golf. Surprising.
