Update on some athletic facility upgrades

by JGuiher on May 7, 2008 9:15 AM EDT

Here is an article outlining the upgrades that are being done for some of Penn States athletic facilities.

A whole lot of stuff going on quite frankly. In fact, I guess with all of these projects it is no wonder why we can't afford a D-I hockey team.

Softball Stadium

It's nice to see them finally building that new softball stadium. The graduating seniors on the team were promised 4 years ago that they would be playing in a new stadium. And with the baseball team playing in a brand new stadium, Title IX was slowly creeping up on PSU.

Please enlighten me

What's the difference between a baseball and softball stadium? Is it simply how deep the outfield fences are? Why couldn't softball use the baseball stadium as well?

Differences

I believe the dimensions are different. Everything is smaller on a softball field from the distance to the fence to the distance between the bases, homeplate and the pitcher's mound.

there is no mound on a softball field and the entire infield is dirt.

umm

60 foot basepaths for softball, 90 for baseball....

hmm...

Picture the Little League baseball field you played on when you were 11.

Now picture the field you see when you go watch an MLB game.

That's the difference....
