I'm not sure if you could make that assumption.  It is certainly not true
in all cases.  I know for example that they had some people from foreign
teams getting an intro into what the village will be like.  I doubt they
charged them.

Actually, one good way (aside from getting better signage, etc.) is to
give directions to get them close and tell them to ask when they get
closer.

The hardest turn getting from CoC to ULC would be turning off of Ferst
onto whatever that street is just north of SAC.

Softball field... hmmm.  I would guess that they meant the place off
of 14th street.  Certainly not Burger Bowl, or the football stadium,
or what is left of SAC field.  And as for the baseball field there is
only one diamond, and I don't know of anyone using it for softball.

Assuming they were Olympic type people it was probably the softball
field by Atlantic steel.
