TD Ameritrade park architect needs his arse kicked. It's obvious he didn't do a sight analysis. The park needs to be turned 180 degrees.

It is like watching baseball in 1908 at the polo grounds minus the spit ball

Here's one for you die hard LSU fans, if the fences were shorter LSU does not lose the first game & likely end up in the championship.

It wouldn't surprise me if UCLA pitchers were caught messing with the ball.

The ball will be livelier next year and the TDA fences will be moved in. ESPN will continue to put money into it because they have more platforms and Bases Loaded was a rousing success.
Wrong. Baseball can't take effect until at least 2015 and do you reall think they will move wall and stands in a brand new stadium. The architect is an idiot. Move the stadium from a hill to a valley and face it the opposite direction where the wind blows in when the power it taken from the bats. Makes total sense.

bats, balls, whatever, having played baseball at LSU when the players(on one team,) outnumbered the fans, first of all, people don't give a shite when their team isn't in it, and, more importantly, they want to see the long ball, try as they may to romanticize college baseball, no one wants the pitchers duel, unless maybe it's the last game of the CWS, and their pitcher wins the duel

NCAA needs an emergency meeting to make changes. I heard the CWS stadium contract is up for renewal this year.

don't know about the stadium, per se, but I think OMA has it locked up for about the next 46 yrs.

Link to them saying change is in effect next season?

Omaha has it locked up until like 2030

I think they will see how the minor league ball plays before they bring the fences in
According to Louis Coleman, who was on AFR last week, and who plays in the royals organization, said that Creighton plays there not the minor league team...which makes no sense. However, if true should be able to "adjust" the dimensions

still within a few feet of AB, but it's hard to get it out without the bat touching the ball

The ironic thing is the NCAA will "level the playing field" by changing the ball so the small ball teams won't dominate the CWS the way LSU did in the 1990s with gorilla ball.

But it was for safety reasons Montana

As a huge college baseball fan who watches most if not all of the games in Omaha every year, I found myself struggling to stay interested. They took away the game changing/game winning homerun threat, and with that took away to excitement. It looked like pitchers throwing bullpens every game, and the huge increase in bunting was just aweful to watch. If nothing is changed, I probably won't tune in as much, unless LSU is playing.

You had great games on left and right and you couldn't watch them fast enough. Specifically our game with OU and many of UNCs games
No one caught the irony in this statement?
You are criticizing 3-1 and 5-0 games, but are praising a 2-0 game?

It doesn't get any better than the 2-0 game that Friday night. Great pitching and defense. The Box was packed and rocking.
Funny how it's not so great when you lose 2-1.

Two pitchers who have been/will be picked high in the first round dueling and each defense playing its best vs. a team scoring two unearned runs while their pitcher runs meatballs up in the zone and gets them blasted to the warning track.
One of these things is not like the other.
