First of all, I do understand this isn't the only reason we lost the game, but who decided to make TD Ameritrade a much bigger park than most others? 99% of D1 schools this year were playing in smaller parks, so why did the dimensions have to be changed farther? This gives an automatic advantage to teams who can't hit homers in a smaller park, much less TD park. We would've had 2, maybe 3 more homers tonight if game was at the box. What if in the BCS national championship they decided to narrow the field to cater to more defensive teams? That doesn't seem fair to a widespread passing attack who played that way the whole year

I guess teams could build their stadiums to have a bigger field to prepare for the big show then. I don't have an answer

It's not the fields fault we lost. You sound like a women.

What if a team that has a big park gets to Omaha and has to play in a small park? Is that fair to them? Quit whining about the park.

Still cracked a HR... and it's only 5' deeper. Hoover is still larger.

It's not like we have a team full of home run hitters.

Cause just like MLB they think less run scoring is exciting to watch. Like watching a 6-3 football game or a 67-60 basketball game.

Dimensions at TD

Ticket Exchange and Money Talk are shallow down the lines.

The Money board and Gaming Board are pretty shallow in the alleys.

TD then juts out and the Rant and the OT are deep and massive.
