No they haven’t, it’s the same dimensions as rosenblatt was, just facing the opposite direction so the wind is always blowing in, instead of out.Quote:

We have talked about the Tigue being a tough place to hit, but I think this shows just how tough it is. You really have to get a hold of one to hit it out of the Tigue.
The 8 CWS teams combined have almost 900 home runs on the season, they have had what 15 the whole series?Quote:

Except if faces the opposite direction, rosenblatt faced northwest and Schwabb faces south East so unless you get cool/dry frontal boundary in late June the wind is most likely blowing in. It’s also one of the windiest parts of the country. 10 mph wind knocks a ball back roughly 15 feet. You hear the crowd when a guy crushes it and it’s a fly out not even to the warning track.Quote:

It’s not like they were hitting them to the warning track every time. Personally I have enjoyed the whole series.Quote:

On a different note (and not to you personally) I just brought this up as an observation. And in true RP form, it’s turned into an argument between a few, and people being called complainers, etc.
My God.
Definitely hasn't robbed anyone of anything and I said I prefer it this way. If all stadiums were setup this way, I think you would see several different teams make it to Omaha each year. The original point is these teams didn't get there with this brand of baseball, and i wish it were the same. I also don't want gorilla ball in Omaha, so id rather this brand be played everywhere all year. Teams who can drive the ball, create offense and run the bases can thrive in omaha...its just hard to get there going on the road and beating these teams at gorilla ballQuote:
