So do you really have a question or do you just want to shite on Ull. Not hard to tell what the field is if you are watching it.

I think it is similar to what we did at Troy.

quote:

In 2008, Riddle–Pace Field went through a $4.7 million renovation to meet NCAA Regional hosting requirements. Home plate was moved up 8 feet. Left field was extended to 340 feet and center was extended to 400 feet. The length of right field stayed the same at 310 feet, but a 27-foot wall with a built-in scoreboard/video-reply screen replaced what was previously an 8-foot wall. The original grass and dirt turf was replaced with artificial turf, although the track in the foul territories are still made of dirt. A two-story building called the Lott Complex was built along the left field line that houses offices, training rooms, video rooms and a players’ lounge, along with forty-two major league-size lockers. The home dugout was extended in length and was connected to the new Lott Complex. The original stadium lighting was also replaced with Musco Sports Lighting. A media/television deck was also erected in center field for television purposes.

Watching on my iphone at work so I couldn't really tell. Just looks weird. Shouldn't have said that it looks like shite.

Yes, i'm a douche bag. How about I go to the tiger rant and ask about LSU's field and in the same sentence mention that is looks like shite and see what type or responses i get. How about the person just google Tigue Moore field and everything about the field can be answered.

You're on an LSU website, go to Ragin Pagin and I bet you will get literally zero response

ULL field looks cheap and bush league. Not a specific knock on ULL but the fake turf fields with fake dirt just look bad IMO. I think Texas has the same type of field as well. Baseball outdoors is meant to be played on real grass.

AGREED, however; we just don't have the money to serve the proper maintenance on a real grass field. but! we're getting there.

sometimes the weather doesn't cooperate, and teams have to get the fake shite for the whole field.

Many parts, they have cold, snowy winters and brutally humid summers. grass takes a beating.
