I don't like it, but I understand it for northern baseball

It probably helps you avoid several washouts/snow-outs every year, and with the way college baseball is scheduled, those games are almost impossible to make up after they're cancelled (weekday games, that is).

So, I certainly don't like it, but I guess at some point it makes sense for college ball. Never in the majors....and never did it make sense for ND football.

I couldn't believe Vandy has it.

Materially detracts from the game experience. Texas's also is pretty ugly from what I recall.

Vandys stadium is pretty awesome

With the football stadium along left field and asymmetrical outfield-- it's very cool setting
The stadium itself is a nice setup. *

ND played Tulane in New Orleans a couple years ago, and everything is FieldTurf, with the exception of the pitcher's mound, which is dirt. It looks absolutely terrible.
