Ballparks you have played in.

It looks similar to Comiskey Park in the early 70s, when the grass portion of the field that was surrounded by the plate and infield was artificial turf and the outfield was natural grass.

Interesting. As a player, I think that would drive me nuts.

I only used the mound, since I was just a pitcher. But, the infielders said it was great because of the true-hops of ground balls. Other than that, I thought Wichita State had a tremendous stadium; it was huge!

I never played on turf, so my opinion is based on imagination only. I wonder how many other stadiums have this 50/50 format. I would like to see it in person and feel it out.

I played Little League in my hometown of Lakewood, NJ (1975 LL World Series Champions...heh), and I got to play the championship game in 2001 at our beautiful local minor league stadium, then called GPU Energy Park. Very cool experience.

Nice thread. All I can say is that I envy you guys.

The only chance I had to play in one of the two baseball stadiums in the Netherlands vanished because of a rain out.

Reh303, I thought Little League uses 60 ft. bases, instead of the 90 ft. bases in minor league parks? I played my high school championship at GPU Energy Park in 2001 as well; like you said, very cool experience, especially since I was the winner pitcher!

From my distinguished and illustrative little league career, I remember playing on 60 foot bases (softball sized diamond) until I turned 12 I believe. Then I graduated to the standard 90 foot diamond.

Although sometimes we would play on a 90 foot diamond with the bases and pitching mound moved in.

Dodd Stadium, Norwich Connecticut

I played in Dodd Stadium in norwich connecticut a few times in high school, college, and in an independent league i play in. it's the home of the connecticut defenders (AA affiliate of the SF Giants).

Norwich, CT

I wasn't overly impressed with that place when I've been there, but I will compliment them on the ticket policy that they have for season tickets. We pulled up to the gat about an hour before the game and were able to purchase front row tickets directly behind CT's dugout. They were corporate seats, but the company gives them back as a donation so that other people can buy them rather than letting the seats go to waste. We had front row seats, the team had paying customers in the door, and the charity had extra money based upon the thicket price. A great system!

yeah i see where your coming from, but it is just really nice to have some form of pro baseball in connecticut when you arent able to see mlb games at the stadiums nearby all the time. (fenway,yankee stadium,shea)
