What are the dimensions of the new Portsmouth field?

Need a blue monster

[rxburgfan]

should be interesting with the foul ball situation. i guess they are going to have to put up nets. may not have been the best location for a baseball field.

[bengalfan76]

They have a place to call their own. Ever been to Jackson?`

[swbaseballfan]

yeah, foul balls at jackson hit the road and houses all the time, but it wont be as heavy of traffic as balls will fly into at portsmouth. its gonna be nuts...i cant wait to go watch a game!!!

[biggdowgg]

I was by there today,,and like you,I thought it looked like a short porch out in left field..but,Im not sure where the left field foul line is,,,,,is the scoreboerd in fair play?..or is it possible it is outside the foul line?

[biggdowgg]

I see they have the warning track around the outfield now,..

[rxburgfan]

just heard that the new baseball field is going to be grass. i thought it was to be turf? what happened or was it never to be turf. it would be hard for ssu and portsmouth use it with grass infield.

[biggdowgg]

they both used branch rickey before diddnt they?

right now del rice and post 23 are using branch rickey.

I had heard

[swbaseballfan]

yeah, they both use branch rickey right now.

[BigTime]

Shawnee plays on the West Side not a Branch Rickey if i'm not mistaken.

[biggdowgg]

shawnee boys came back to branch rickey this year, shawne girls still play on the west side.

[biggdowgg]

tape measure?

I heard that somewhere else

[biggdowgg]

Left field appears to be a porch by visual inspection.

What are the dimensions of the new field? Also, will there be a "green monster" in left field?

OK,,,,Finaly got an answer...
315 ...down the lines, 345 power alleys, 360 center field

[biggdowgg]

thats what I was told by the head cheezze thats over the construction...he said thats exactly what the baseball coach ask for....

[BULDOG]

Maybe it's 270' with a 40' wall in LF... That'd be sweet. I like the ramp up to the fence in CF like some of the new pro ball parks. I assume that will stay, correct?

[biggdowgg]

but we can stil walk it of,to make sure

[bengalfan76]

I have a question. Where will the track and softball be located?

[bengalfan76]

Will the baseball also have field turf?

[volsfan]

I heard the same thing, that it will not have turf. Drove by the new facilities a few weeks ago, it is beautiful. Looking forward to going to some Friday night games and to watch the Trojans in action. Also, looking forward to seeing my old coach in a uni coaching again. Trojan baseball will be strong with a new coach and a new field. Go Trojans!

Was up at the Burg Little league game the other day and a Portsmouth team was playing, ask one of the parents what the kids thought of getting a new HS baseball coach, they said their kid said, we are getting some old man from Oak Hill. They will soon find out how much they are going to learn from the old man.-lol!!

...that's funny...

...if these kids want to compete with the likes of Wheelersburg, Zane Trace, etc. again who are lead by coaches such as Mike Estep and Ron Allen...then they will need Coach Tipton's leadership and expertise to teach them the game of baseball.

Is it official that Coach Tipton has been named?
