Ballpark Outfield Dimensions

[Fish Tank Frenzy]

I know this has been posted before but I cannot find the dimensions for the outfield walls. Does anyone have a link or know off the top of their heads the dimensions?

I believe they will an x, y, and z axis so that would make 3.

Thanks dood!

Home runs gon be scarce.

That means less booing from MH

Retractable roof stadiums typically have better carry with the roof closed, right? Otherwise that place is going to play huge.

I overlayed the ballpark dimensions over the old park and Petco (Did anyone do this yet?)

Place is freaking huge.

Isn't the ocean breeze a big factor for Petco?

There's all kinds of factors. I'm not sure whether there's ever been public research done into what, exactly causes it, but I'm sure the Padres have internal data.

Bobs, I think yours are more accurate.

Can you compare it to the 60s Astrodome, por favor?

I think that's the environment closest to the new park.

(Hot city at sea level.)

This one might be slightly more accurate

[Party]

Wow.

[Bobbob1313]

Astrodome wasn't particularly large when compared to other stadiums of the day. Three Rivers, Veterans, Riverfront, Atlanta-Fulton, Arlington and some others were approximately the same size.

[Party]

Arlington had many of the wind issues the current ballpark had when it first opened. Atlanta-Fulton was known as a launching pad because of the altitude.

In fairness, the Astrodome was originally quite a bit bigger. It compares quite closely to our park.

[Party]

That's why I originally asked for 60s Astrodome!

[Bobbob1313]

I didn't realize the website I was using defaulted to it's final configuration.

Bob's on the Tweeter:

HRs last year.

So what you're saying is we won't have to endure the HR celebration much.

At first glance it would seem that way, but those in left field had to go over the tall wall, which the new park doesn't have even though it's farther out. Depends on the trajectory of the ball, but theoretically it could mean fewer home runs.

[Bobbob1313]

I think it's almost guaranteed to suppress HRs.

The conditions in the ballpark will also be different - not as much humidity should allow the ball to fly farther by a couple more feet
