BBTV Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I never knew baseball was played at Franklin Field.In person, it's such a cool looking old stadium, and I love how it's smack in the middle of Penn's historic campus and also modern development.I love the backdrop of the scoreboard too.Kinda unrelated, but here's their softball field (and the field one of my leagues uses). It's "in the shadow" so to speak of Franklin Field.

NatsFan2004 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Some odd Baseball setups : Franklin Field- Philadelphia, PAOrange Bowl- Miami, FLWeird. Anyone else find it strange they set up home plate at the open end of the Orange Bowl instead of at the horseshoe end (where there would be more seats along the 1st base line)?

cajunaggie08 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I don't think the horseshoe was built back when this baseball game was played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeauxColonels Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 There is something that is wrong about having Arena Football in a full size stadium. New Orleans Night (Arena Football League) in the Superdome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 There is something that is wrong about having Arena Football in a full size stadium. New Orleans Night (Arena Football League) in the Superdome: That is probably literally the worst team name I have ever heard. Seriously. "Night"? So collectively the team forms one night? How do they do that? And even if they were the "Nights", so each individual player was a "Night", how does that work? Each player is a period of time? Does that mean they don't play well in afternoon games? Is this name supposed to be intimidating, like dark and mysterious? That couldn't make less sense. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoW Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 That reminds me of a high school my team had played. I never found out if they were the Nights or Knights, but at the beginning of the game the PA announcer yelled "iiiiiiiit's (k)night timeeeeee!" when the players ran out. Me and my friends just calmly looked at each other, looked up at the moon, and said "yes, yes it is". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queso fundido Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall set up for the Albany DevilsYou just made me think of this. Boardwalk Hall held a bowl game at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hailstateunis Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall set up for the Albany DevilsYou just made me think of this. Boardwalk Hall held a bowl game at one time.That was the 1964 Liberty Bowl between Utah and West Virginia. The game had been held at Philidelphia in previous years and at has been held at Memphis ever since. http://www.hailstateunis.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMac Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall set up for the Albany DevilsYou just made me think of this. Boardwalk Hall held a bowl game at one time.Being only about an hour away from Atlantic City, I have been there hundreds of times. When you look at boardwalk hall, you think it's so small. It's amazing that it can hold sporting events like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boardwalk Hall held a bowl game at one time.kinda reminds me of the Kibbie Dome that U of Idaho plays in. Goal posts mounted on the wall. They also host track, basketball and Volleyball for sure. Worked a game there with Louisiana- Monroe football.

It's "in the shadow" so to speak of Franklin Field.That'd be a fun place to play softball. Great backdrop. I liked playing there a lot more when I lived within a short walk! Actually it was kinda frustrating, since it's a women's softball field, it's a litle too easy for guys to hit home runs, even in freezing weather - and we play with wood bats. It's part of a huge recreational complex that they built in between the river and campus - soccer fields, flag football, etc. There's also a heated "bubble" that us used for rec soccer and modified softball - it's played with a larger and slightly softer ball, so I guess they can play in a smaller facility because I guess the ball can't be hit as far or something. Never actually tried it myself.Totally off topic, here's the park near my new house in South Philly. Not visible but just to the right are the "famous" cheeseteak places that are always on TV.

4_tattoos Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Does anybody know the official seating capacity of Idaho's Kibbie Dome?

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.
