Nope. It's from CF to home plate.
OYS demensions where much bigger. Which would explain why it football went from LF to first. That wouldn't work with the current demensions.Last edited by 80SHOCK; 07-21-2009, 07:23 AM.

I can see why Army would be interested in having its home game versus ND at NYS, but why in the world would Notre Dame give up a home game?? Notre Dame has a real football stadium that seats 80K and sells out.Buck O'Neil: The Monarch of Baseball

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen,and welcome to Yankee Stadium. Here are the lineups for todays game...

Giants Jets
I remember the Giants - Jets pre season game at the Stadium in 76 or 77 and the football field was right up against the left field wall. This was the renovated stadium, before the fences were brought in. I almost remember one of Yogi sons playing wide receiver for the Giants ! Does any one remember that also ? It's kinda sad when I think that had to be over thirty years ago.

This puts the 50 yd line at right about second base, so the views should be pretty good. It actually makes a little more sense than putting the field down the 3rd base line like I assumed they were going to.

I dont think the renderings are totally accurate. if college football fields and end zones are the same length as NFL fields, the totall length of the field would be 320 feet. which means if they are setting it up between home plate and extending to center field, there should be around 80 feet of extra space.
If it is that set-up though, sitting in or on top of the center field sports bar looks like an awesome place to watch the game.

Just a clever excuse?
What about this possibility? Perhaps the Notre Dame-Army football game is at least partly an excuse for the Yankees to move the outfield fences back so that there would be enough room for the gridiron, and ALSO to create more reasonable outfield dimensions for baseball in right center field, so as to cut down on the flood of home runs. It would be a "graceful retreat" by the Yankees front office.

Considering ND is not a projected top 25 team and Army has not been on the radar from a national perspective for a long time, it will give NBC an opportunity to hype the nostalgic aspect of this game which would have a limited national TV audience even though South Bend would have been sold out.
NBC has an exclusive contract to televise ND home games through the 2010 season. The five year extension was signed in 2003.
It also gives ND a positive buzz for future recruitment.
