ESPN+ decal no longer on our schedule and the link above shows no streaming. Hope it's wrong.

[Duggie35]

I would imagine that since this is a McNeese home game, everything associated with any possible broadcast would be totally McNeese's responsibility.

[cajundiehard]

Usually they have a YouTube video feed that pops up at some point.... but they've never done an ESPN3 broadcast for baseball from their ballpark as far as I know.

[RaisingCajun08]

No mention of ESPN+ on their website either.

If we are going to have any video, it will be here...

I was told they do not have the capability to produce their own coverage for ESPN+. I don't know if that is correct, but it looks like they can not.

[Jacob81]

I don’t know how to do a screen shot on here, but it does show up on espn+ when you search it.

[cajuns80]

They almost always youtube their baseball games. They did last year.
