Alright, let me walk you through how I tracked down those Concordia baseball schedule changes. It turned out to be way more annoying than I thought it would be.
First Glance Was Misleading
I kicked things off like always. Pulled up my bookmarked athletics page thinking this would take two minutes tops. Went straight to the baseball section where they always list the game dates. And there it was – the schedule for 2025. Looked official, dates all laid out. Cool, done? Nah.
Then I remembered the article headline mentioning “updates”. Probably changed for some reason. Maybe weather messed with things, or maybe it clashed with finals or something else. Got that nagging feeling it wasn’t actually right.
Hitting Dead Ends Left and Right
So I started poking around more. Checked their official social media feeds – Twitter, Insta, the whole bit. Scrolled back weeks. Tons of hype about the players, cool pics of practice, but zip about any actual game date changes. Like, zero announcements. Weird.
Turned to forums where folks talk about college sports, especially Concordia stuff. Saw some grumblings. People asking stuff like, “Is the home opener still April 12th?” or “Heard the May games got pushed back?”. No solid answers, just rumors swirling. Nobody knew anything for sure. Totally frustrating.
Even tried digging for press releases on the school’s athletics news page. Found articles about recruiting new players, coaches getting awards, fundraiser dinners… but nothing saying “Hey, our home game against College X is now on THIS date instead!”. Nothing.
Finally Stumbling Onto the Goods
This was getting ridiculous. How hard is it to just say if a date changed? Then I had a thought. Went back to that original schedule page I saw first. Looked way closer this time.
Right down at the very bottom, in small, kinda faded grey text, was a little note: “Schedule Subject to Change. Check back for updates.” Seriously? That’s it? No details, no list of changes.
Dug even deeper. Found a PDF link for the “Official 2025 Conference Calendar” buried in their site’s menu. Not obvious at all. Opened it up. It was a huge grid of dates for all conference teams.
I scanned the Concordia rows like a hawk. And there they were! The differences were small but real:
- The April 12th opener? Gone. Shifted to April 14th.
- The weekend series against Stingers? Now split – one game pushed back a whole week!
- The final home stand in May? Starting a day later than first listed.
None of these changes were mentioned anywhere else on the main site or socials. You had to find this specific document hidden away.
Wrapping Up The Hunt
So, that was the “big reveal”. No fanfare, no easy announcement. Just me squinting at rows in a PDF calendar most people wouldn’t know existed, trying to spot the tiny date changes that messed up people’s plans.
Typical university website stuff. They update something deep in the maze but forget to actually TELL anyone it’s changed. Makes me think half the parents and fans are probably still rocking the old dates. Bet the parking lot will be chaotic on those rescheduled game days!
