Heard it's the only park that compares to Baum.




Baum is a beautiful little ballpark. It doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Dudy Noble, however.

It’s in Mississippi so it probably looks like alien technology to the locals, but let’s not get carried away here.

This is very true.

Dudy Noble is a very nice ballpark, but putting a hotel in left field doesn't necessarily make somehting elite. That just makes it different. Baum is basically Arkansas' version of Autozone Park in Memphis. Dudy Noble is the new Alex Box.

Populous designed Baum, the same group that did the new Dudy Noble. Your own design firm called DNF the measuring stick of college baseball stadiums.

I'm not disrespecting Baum. It's nice. But I've been to both, and on scale, DNF is heads and shoulders better, and we're not even getting into the player amenities at DNF that most minor league stadiums don't have, let alone college stadiums.

Man, Im messing with you. DNF is an amazing park, but to say that there "isn't even an argument" is homerism in my opinion.



One thing we can agree on - DNF, Baum, and Alex Box in the same division makes the SEC West the standard-bearer for college baseball.

There is no question about it.

Blue Bell isn't too shabby either, but it's a distant fourth in this discussion.

Swayze doesn't suck either from an environment standpoint (as much as I hate to say it)



It's impressive that Blue Bell Park and Swayze Field are "the other ballparks" in the SEC West.

I don't always give Swayze the respect it deserves because, 1) it's Ole Miss, 2) I still remember the shed in the outfield and dumpsters behind the bleachers.

Swayze has come a long way though, no doubt, so I will grudgingly agree.

Swayze is pretty good. But it’s hilarious that ole miss claims to have the best atmosphere in baseball when it’s probably the 4th best in the SEC west

I've been to both and it really isn't an argument. DNF has a 360 concourse, that's what puts it above and beyond any other home stadium in college baseball.
