This past weekend, USCe hosted a "Salute the Troops Weekend" round robin tournament with Army, Navy, and Air Force. Could we host something like this at Olsen Field in the future?

As long as we can stop alternating between the Houston and Arlington tournaments every year, I'm good with anything. I'd love to go to one of these events in Jacksonville, Arizona, or California

That would be the perfect time to bring back the Corps of Cadet uniforms

That would be a great idea. You could add a couple of other teams like VMI and the Citadel to have three games each day. Incorporate some veteran appreciation events throughout the weekend.

The Senior Military College Classic. Held at Olsen Field "The Shack By The Tracks."

Texas A&M, West Point, USNA, Norwich University, VMI, University of North Georgia, and Virginia Tech.

Each team plays 3 other teams, and each year it's rotated around so we play every team within the span of a couple years.

GA sections in 202 / 203 and 210 / 209. They will be GA for each team's respective fans. People will have to buy these GA rickets from their respective tree and box office to keep it fair. 4th inning fill in will be in effect.

Family sections in 201 and 211

Texas A&M GA will be in 202 and 203 respectively and whoever we play can have their GA section over our dugout.

Season tickets will not work for the tournament (except for suites and clubs). However, season ticket holders are given a presale to buy their tickets in their season ticket seats. Those that opt out of buying their seats, they will be resold for retail price to anyone else who may want to buy tickets but don't have season tickets and access the presale.

During each game we can do a thing where we honor veterans. Veterans throw our first pitch, give them free stuff to like canes, or some A&M / SMC Classic merch. Just some ideas

Sounds like you need to reach out to the Athletics department and the CS tourism group and get it going.
