UGA is 315 down the right field pole. You like that?
You understand that Sewell-Thomas is 320 feet down the foul lines, right? A whopping 5 extra feet down the Right field line, and Foley is 350 down the Left Field line, so our left field line is 30 feet further than your park.
Sewell is 360 at the power alleys and Foley is 370 LC Power and 365 RC Power alley.
Sewell is 390 to center and Foley is 404.
When will Alabama expand their park? You play in a bandbox.
Now, you can go crawl back in your hole for saying dumb stuff, as your park is demonstrably smaller than Foley Field.

I am not saying The Joe is right or UGA's field is wrong. In all sports there are common dimensions and I would like to see that in all sports. I dont care if it is 295 down the lines. Kapish? That would make it fair when you compare batting stats and home runs, etc.

Since it is their home field it would hold advantages as they know how to play things where as a rookie wouldnt.
So everybody on this board apparently knows the dimensions of the stadium but visiting teams do not?

Aware someone the HR trophy and it goes to UGA with the left hander winning it.
Except we hit more HRs on the road than we did at home.
5 of our top 7 homerun hitters were righthanded including Daniel Jackson, our top homerun hitter.
Our last big homerun hitter, Charlie Condon was also right handed.

No thanks. One of the beautiful things of the game is the varying dimensions of the playing fields. It doesn’t need to be like every other sport.

Then why did you say this: UGA is 315 down the right field pole. You like that?

No, not in all sports. Golf is not for one. Cricket for another.
But yes, as a generalization, most sports do standardize playing field dimensions. But again, it has been shown that Alabama's field is significantly smaller than Foley, so why not decry your own field, and demand that your school enlarge your baseball field?

What are we going to do about the wind? It can greatly affect how far the ball flies. We need to standardize it too. And what about heat and humidity? It can have an impact too. We need to standardize it too.

I was at a minor league field in Asheville yesterday and it’s 297 down the right field line and 373 to dead center. It was awesome. Final shore was 16-14. Would I want every game I watched to be that? No, but it was damn fun yesterday.

Elevation too. Gotta be within the right elevation window or you get no field.

College baseball. We have uniform standards for the basketball court and for the football field. Give each NCAA team 2 years to complete.
Why don't they just enforce the minimums recommended by the NCAA?
Location: Minimum/Preferred
Left Field Line: 320 feet/330 feet
Center Field: 380 feet/400 feet
Right Field Line: 320 feet/330 feet
Fence Height: 6 feet minimum/8 feet preferred
Warning Track Width: 10-15 feet/15 feet
College Baseball Field Dimensions: Official Measurements

CRAP! That's amazing! How would you like to be a pitcher trying to move up in an organization and pitching in a park like that?
Reminds me of John Smoltz when the Braves picked him up in a trade with detroit. His ERA in 1987 at AA was 6.19. I thought he was going to be terrible! Shows you what I know!

They can't even get MLB to have the same measurements.

There is more to it than dimensions. The biggest field in MLB is Coors Field. Pitchers must love it. Wait ...
