Old Fort Field

The story goes that the city where this ballclub plays was going to convert it's old army garrison into a prison. The owner of the new baseball team convinced the city to sell him the land cheaply, however, to use for his stadium. The ballpark retains the old fort wall as part of the outfield structure.

Capacity: 26,300

Left Field Line: 311 ft.
Left Field: 344 ft.
Left Center Field: 390 ft.
Center Field: 432 ft.
Right Center Field: 386 ft.
Right Field: 339 ft.
Right Field Line: 319 ft.

Pull hitters will love this park whereas straight away hitters will find the deep alleys and distant center field daunting. Expect a significant increase in homers and a negligible increase in batting average at Old Fort Field.
