Summary
The University of Minnesota is hosting a college baseball tournament at U.S. Bank Stadium, home of the Minnesota Vikings. The stadium’s unusual dimensions have created confusion about home run rules. The temporary setup has left field at 328 feet, left-center field at 375 feet, center field at 400 feet, right-center field at 350 feet, and right field at 300 feet. Teams are briefed on the rules before the game, but players and coaches still struggle to understand what constitutes a home run.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
College baseball in an NFL stadium: where the outfield is a mystery and home runs are a debate. The Vikings’ U.S. Bank Stadium is hosting the Cambria College Classic, and the temporary setup is causing confusion. Shipping containers as dugouts? Check. Bizarre dimensions? You bet. But what’s a home run again? The yellow line on the wall doesn’t count, apparently.
Because what’s college baseball without a little confusion and a lot of cold weather?
