  • New Stadium Dimensions Compared to Other Ballparks

    New Stadium Dimensions


    Dolphin Stadium



    (The Triangle at LSS is really 410ish, not 434)

    Some of the bigger parks in the league...













    Some of the smaller stadiums...










    Some of the older parks in the league...






    Not 100% but it's a good comparison.

    Stadium is going to play like the Grand Canyon when the roof is closed.

    Fans are going to be on top of the action down the lines. Almost no foul territory.

    Good to see, though I still wish we would have a Teal Tower-like structure in LF to save us as much as the current one has in 17 years.

      I'm really glad that they kept it a pitcher-friendly park. I'm not a fan of some of the band boxes that have been built recently in a shameless effort to generate more HRs.

      And how cool were the Polo Grounds!

        Still think it's too pitcher friendly.

          I wish we could just have a neutral park. Unless you rope it down the lines, it's gonna be hard to hit a dinger.

              the Stadium dimesions are ridiculous. i like pitcher friendly parks but 420,416 and 396 thats going to be a hard area to hit HRs.

                The best. I'd take those dimensions in a heartbeat (with some added distance down the lines, of course.

                We'll be worse, since the humidity weighs the ball down.

                  Whatever. It's neither a positive or a negative. Both teams have to play under the same conditions, it doesn't give anyone an advantage, so I don't really get into that discussion. I'd prefer a nuetral park, but I don't care either way

                        Both teams have to play in the park, so it doesn't inherently give one team an advantage. Oh, you can build your team to suit the park, but as the past few years have shown, the team you have is more important than what type of park you play in.

                        I would personally prefer a neutral park, but i don't really care one way or the other. I'm not going to jump for joy or curse because we are going to play in an absurdly over the top pitchers park.

                          The team you have and the park you play in aren't mutually exclusive, though, at all. Especially when you have 100 games (minimum) booked for pitcher's parks in the division per season.

                            Haven't we booked 100 games (minimum) the past few years in pitchers parks and haven't we still hit home runs and stuff?

                            The team you have is far more important than where you play. It's not like this park is only going to help our pitchers.

                              Hasn't Beinfest also said that the mold of this particular team (one sample out of 30) is supposed to be pitching and defense? Our power hitters are either gone (Jacobs), on their way out (Uggla), or the man himself (Hanley time).
