Eh, State’s ballpark is like that and balls that squeezed inside the bag down the lines bounced off the walls like a pinball machine and outfielders had no idea which way it was going. It was dumb.

Yea I have. Went the year we got swept and dropped the pop fly in the CWS haha.

I used to always make the trip and stay at Old Waverly where a family friend has a house. Now that I have moved to Naples,FL its harder for me to get to.

Again I like it but with the upgrades to Baum I like Baum better. Two indoor facilities and just prefer the box layout we have.

Im not a fan of fake grass on any part of the baseball field and prefer seats to stretch out to each outfield with boxes the entire way.

Like I said its 1a/1b. Cant go wrong with either really.

Glad State has something nice though.

I’d probably give MSU the nod for fanciest pure stadium itself but the player development facilities Arkansas is building, if those are even considered in a ballpark ranking, put it up there for sure.

Baum has way too few of its seats on the infield, and the seats down the lines have horrible sightlines. That's one huge advantage for Dudy Noble--second deck makes a difference. Arkansas could fix that, but it would require them to spend some real money, and it's just to easy to throw up another set of luxury suites, that don't require as much infrastructure as an upper deck with general seating.

I'll give the Hogs credit for one thing--all grass, no turf. I hate seeing any turf on the field, even if it's a small area like A&M has just around home plate. The amount of turf at Dudy Noble is embarrassing for an ag school (LSU also has way too much turf).

I wish we could get an outfield clubhouse like the dude. I imagine a scene with a homerun by Crews landing in a jambalaya pot.

Fair enough, my comment was alluding to how they sit today.

My only knocks on Baum are lack of seating in center and right field, and the fact that the seats down the line aren’t angled towards the infield.

During the 2018 season State's new ball park was still under construction and only about 50% completed

As I said…it’s a hell of a stadium. Sorry that the mere sight of an Ole Miss fan causes your 2 inch peener to shrivel.


You need to take a break from the shite posting. But I know it's tough work toting that "douchebag ole miss fan" banner around.
