pcgd Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 From Japan, Hiroshima Carp's "Huwahuwa(inflatable) Carp Boy": I shouldn't have assumed this but I never knew any Japanese pro teams had grass infields. Every highlight or shot of baseball in Japan has been an all dirt infield. Makes it look much more like a MLB game when seeing it at a glance.

Makes it look much more like a MLB game when seeing it at a glance.There are only a few open air, natural grass fields left, most are domed and or have artificial turf. Natural grass infields became popular when people started seeing more MLB games while following their favorite player. I think every natural grass field once had all dirt infields.

hailstateunis Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Transfering these files during this project was a total pain... but hey, shameless self promotion opportunity...That banner was ripped with the logo split in half when I drove by in May. I think it's getting replaced this year with the renovation. http://www.hailstateunis.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 That is one of the nicest High School stadiums I have ever scene, and I live in Alabama there are some nice stadiumsYeah Texas does it big. Here's a Houston area's district stadium, with a basketball arena in the back.My home state (Maryland) would never do anything like this for high school athletics. Hell, many of the newer schools opened in Maryland seemed to have went cheap on the athletic facilities.Honestly, I like the idea of public schools in bigger cities pooling their money and getting one really nice stadium that can be rented out for other events in the offseason, rather than building on-campus facilities that won't be nearly as nice. Especially when most schools could probably put that space to better use.Here in Milwaukee, only four of the 11 schools that play football even have their own facility, and they damn sure don't look like this!I can't help but wonder what the school library or chemistry lab looks like at this school....Science?

Better to spend your money on personal seat licenses for the high school stadium. http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/preps/football/2005-09-14-hs-seat-licenses_x.htm?csp=34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefly Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 That CFISD stadium, the Berry Center, is literally down the street from me. The stadium was built due to a few factors, one of which was for graduations since the district is one of the largest in Texas and we had to use a couple of other stadiums to usher out whole classes. This year, we'll have 112,003 students in the district.It hosts outside events ranging from plays, concerts, political rallies, a branch of a mega church, basketball tournaments and used to host an AFL2 Team.Right after they opened it, the recession hit and they had to cut bus services to any student within 2 miles of their school (useless there are highways or train tracks in the way). My kids had to walk the last 5 years or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
