Question - CWS & TD Ameritrade Park

Geauxrilla ball.

what I heard is that they wanted the feel of a MLB stadium, the turn has the city in the background. If you are sitting on the 3rd base line you can see downtown behind the right field fence. Also from the first base line you can see the pedestrian bridge in the background. It has everything to do with what people see in the stadium and not how the park plays.

this video explains all of the changes of the new stadium

There is a prevailing wind out of the south during the summer in Omaha.

Are you sure? It's not on the ocean, near a mountain rage, or anything, I'd doubt there's much of a prevailing wind anywhere in Omaha and it would mostly be determined upon the weather conditions at the time and how the overall weather system is cycling at the time of the game.

No matter what and with very few exceptions, the weather moves across the state of Nebraska from east to west so it shouldn't effect it much other than to change the reward from righties to lefties. Even then it should be negligible.

There's some storms in Nebraska today, so I could see a southern wind coming in from the gulf, but that's not a normal situation unless there's a storm system coming in.

When they change the ball to have less drag it will help the college game. Be much more like MLB.
