No offense to the OP in the other post, but the field dimension given (per Wiki) are way off for the 3 fields I looked at. A lot of the natural grass fields don't have the bases on the field when Google Earth took photos, so exact measurements were difficult and not consistent. One good thing about the turf fields, home plate is always in the same place.

My Google Earth measurements are not exact, but representative, and there are some minor differences in my photos.

I made a rough overlay of Foley Field on top of Disch-Falk for a visual comparison.



As with most teams that come to Austin, they display awesome "Warning Track Power" when they play in Austin, or in Omaha. Disch-Falk opened in 1975 and was built to resemble Rosenblatt in Omaha. The Yeti Yard (Left Center) & Ford (Right Center) field level spectator areas used to be part of the playing field while Gus was coaching.

There was a lot of discussion about the HR Derby's this weekend.

Georgia, and most teams, have some big guys that can mash it anywhere. Miss State, and others, were throwing beach balls down Broadway, and paid the price.

There is, and always has been, a big difference between a Pitcher, and a guy that throws upper 90's. One leaves 17 guys stranded on base and one gives up back to back to back HR.

Texas also has a few guys that mash it also. Carson Tinney (C) hit a grand slam that was dead center that was 114 MPH off the bat.

Should be a fun CWS.
