If you look at it on Google Earth the football stands will not appear. A new center field fence as also been constructed. Northeastern dropped football a couple of years ago.

 

One time a UNC-Wilmington hitter skied a 459 foot fly out to the wall in center when it was the backside of the football field. He was ticked. The next time he turned on a fastball. He hit it over the bullpens behind the left field fence. As he was heading towards first I heard him say, "Catcher that (bleep)er!

That is a great story and I had something similar happen to me when I was playing in High School. I have thought about that idea but it wouldn't work for our school. Football, boys soccer. and softball play in the fall. Baseball and girls soccer play in the spring.
