Re: Newman Outdoor Field Net
Kind of an unnecessary evil. I was at my first game ever when the Bison played the Gophers a few years ago and someone ripped a foul down 3rd base and let's say the guys hand swelled up to the size of his face. At least it didnt hit his daughter
I haven't seen the new set up but some nets are really good and others are crap.
Re: Newman Outdoor Field Net
As long as my electrical box next to the light pole out in right center isn't occupied so I can shag home runs from darryl motley, Johnny knox, Lance migueta and Chris coste...I don't care about the net

Get used to it. You'll see it at pretty much any place that can afford it from now on.

Re: Newman Outdoor Field Net
I've been in a couple MLB parks this year. Baltimore hasn't changed their netting. Washington has extended their nets but at an angle terminating at the far end of the dugout so there are no posts or other obstructions.
Re: Newman Outdoor Field Net
The large poles are unnecessary, most parks use thin poles or poles just at the ends or no poles at all.
Re: Newman Outdoor Field Net
They wouldn't have to put up nets like that if everybody would just put their phone down and watch what's happening on the field

It seems that the new screen is easier to see through. There will be fewer people taken to the hospital from now on.
