Doubledays seeking player housing

The Auburn Doubledays are looking for available rooms, apartments and houses for the 2006 season. The players will be arriving in Auburn in the middle of June and will be leaving in mid-September.

Any housing must have short-term, flexible leases as players may have to leave quickly if promoted. The Doubledays will work to fill any vacated spaces with arriving players.

Anyone interested in renting living space to the Doubledays players should call the Doubledays offices at 255-2489.
