Please identify what college or professional field has a 250 fence.

I’ll help. There isn’t one

Hyperbole doesn’t help with your point it only detracts from your point

The games have been too much about the sun and wind.


Why start games at 6 pm anyway? Start at 7 or 7:30 and sun issue is gone.

but the field dimensions,


The field dimensions mirror a typical baseball stadium. They are just used to their home little league park with 300/310 LF & RF fences.

The grass/surface conditions are fine and nothing unique about them.


Playing Surface
The playing field at Charles Schwab Field Omaha is a natural grass turf of 100 percent Kentucky bluegrass, containing no less than four improved varieties (blend of improved bluegrass developed specifically for high performance athletic fields). The sod is placed on 10” depth of United States Golf Association (USGA) sand and organic material, with a 4” to 30” layer of gravel beneath the sand. A 7,500 square foot sod farm (built with the same materials as the playing field) is located next to the CHI Health Center Omaha to have ample additional turf if needed.
Omaha is situated on the border of zones 5A and 5B of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Plant Hardiness Zone Map. As far as turf grass climatic zones, Omaha is situated on the far western side of the area referred to as the Semicool Humid zone.
The recommended mowing height for standard Kentucky Bluegrass is 1 to 3”. Please note that at Charles Schwab Field Omaha, the turf management staff maintains a height of cut of 1”. The improved varieties allow the staff to do this while still allowing the plant to survive. Weather permitting, the grass will be mowed every game day.
The skinned area of the infield has been amended with Field Saver 60. The soil test provided to the turf management staff has it having a dry weight basis of 47.7% sand, 30.3% silt and 22% clay giving the infield a silt to clay ratio (SCR) of 1.38. USDA Texture=Loam. It is top dressed with a 50/50 mix of Turface Calcined Clay and Diamond Pro Vitrified Clay. The mounds and plate areas are constructed from Dura Pitch Professional Mound and Play Clay.

Could Wake be more specific about what they would like changed?

It is about time something in that crappy stadium worked in our favor.

Loser arse fanbase.



I don't know why what fans of other teams say about losing a game gets so many people on this site upset. When we lose, we have a bunch of whiny crybabies. Why can't other teams have them, too?

Some of you demand that everybody in media or on opposing teams give unlimited praise and respect to LSU at all times and get your delicate sissy feelings hurt if they don't.

What are the dimensions of Wakes Field and has anyone been there to know how it plays, wind etc?


There was a thread last week where someone took the dimensions of all 8 teams and compared them to The Chuck and Alex Box was the only stadium that had similar dimensions. Wakes field 10-15 feet shorter all the way around

There is zero chance a well executed bunt should bounce 10 feet in the air like that.


Maybe it wasn’t a well executed bunt then…

Also, the last time I check it was still 90’ to 1st base

There is no answer for a hypothetical.
That means it doesn’t exist so there can be no logical conclusion.

Ask a pertinent question without fantasizing about things that don’t exist and I will give a very succinct answer

Did I miss something? Didn’t LSU play on the same field?

Think of that on your own? Impressive. Seems like that public school education is starting to pay off.
