ND's New Field: A Baseball Field With No Dirt!


Folks, I'd never thought I'd see the day when you couldn't find a "spec of dirt" on a baseball field...

NONE.

Notre Dame baseball's new playing surface is made entirely from field turf, even the pitching mound!  Here's a few of the photos I could find online of this "unique" -- beautiful field.  The bottom photo was taken by Notre Dame's award winning photographer Matt Cashore -- which I'm sure you could buy at photos.nd.edu

Oh, by the way -- the Fighting Irish (behind the pitching of multi-sport star Pat Connaughton) beat #24 ranked Clemson 2 - 1 in the first game on their new playing surface.
