It isn't just the ballfield...University of Dallas has to rank as one of the ugliest campuses in the nation!
2012 plays D1. I've always been stunned at how poor some of those facilities are. Except in the SEC where we've seen palaces. U of San Diego was incredible too.
2016 is looking at D3. We've been to a lot of campuses. Many ballparks and facilities are poor. But there's definitely a new arms race across college campuses for creating great exercise facilities, though perhaps not the baseball field.
We liked a lot of the Southern ballparks. Birmingham Southern and Rhodes come to mind. Up in Indiana, Earlham has a new facility that's pretty impressive for a school it's size. The complex at Hope College in Michigan was pretty nice too. The park at Case Western in Cleveland was solid. I like the setting for the field at Occidental.
Yes, it has the architectural appeal of a state penitentiary.
