You can't be serious if you think any more than 10 of those ballparks would be a nicer venue than Sunken Diamond for a college baseball tournament. Sunken Diamond is a beautiful venue. Volcanoes Stadium? Seriously?
PS: Colorado, Arizona, Utah and Nevada are not the West Coast. No part of those states comes within 200 miles of the Pacific Ocean. They are the mountain west. Hawaii is not on the West Coast. Why not throw in Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park?
Nice that you're now serving as scuba's mouthpiece, since he still hasn't named one, much less 20, West Coast ballparks that would be a better site for a college baseball tournament than Sunken Diamond.
PS: There is no AA baseball on the West Coast. There is no AA baseball west of Texas.

So go ahead, show me your 20. Of any WC ballpark, pro or college, that any objective fan would consider a nicer venue for a college baseball tournament than Sunken Diamond. It really depends on how you define West Coast. How about in no particular order and with the emphasis on objective: RingCentral Coliseum Dodger Stadium Coors Field Chase Field T-Mobile Park Angel Stadium Oracle Park Petco Park Sloan Park Sutter Health Park Smith's Ballpark Isotopes Park Camelback Ranch HoHoKam Park Peoria Sports Complex Scottsdale Stadium Salt River Fields at Talking Stick Kino Veterans Memorial Stadium Chukchansi Park Surprise Stadium Goodyear Ballpark Las Vegas Ballpark American Family Fields of Phoenix Suplizio Field Tempe Diablo Stadium Hi Corbett Field Greater Nevada Field Phoenix Municipal Stadium UCHealth Park Lindquist Field San Manuel Stadium Olympic Stadium The Hangar Avista Stadium LoanMart Field Cheney Stadium TicketSmarter Stadium Ricketts Park Pete Beiden Field at Bob Bennett Stadium Banner Island Ballpark Palm Springs Stadium Harris Field UCCU Ballpark John Thurman Field Ron Tonkin Field Les Murakami Stadium Goss Stadium at Coleman Field Volcanoes Stadium Jackie Robinson Memorial Field Excite Ballpark Nettleton Stadium Brazzell Field at GCU Ballpark Hard Rock Park PK Park That's a good 53. Sunken Diamond sucks. Wilky... you da man! But, eff it make him do the work cuz you ķnow he won't. But, all 53 are somehow disqualified. Why? Not his ideas. 🍻 |

Targets change anticipated... and boom... "there it is! " Hmmmm... the entire thread included parks... even where I currently sit....Zona. Oh gawd... lmfao... so good. Ok... back to a tie game. |

Target changed? Not so, not by any stretch of the imagination.
My statement: Sunken Diamond is considered by many to be the prettiest ballpark on the West Coast.
Your idiotic reply:
Anyway it's not in my top 20 of "prettiest". But, you go with that as a prerequisite for the Pac12 tourney. 😂😂🍻
The subject was always WEST COAST ballparks.
Still waiting to hear what MiLB team plays at Scottsdale Stadium. And where the AA ballparks are on the West Coast.
Nice of wilky to put together a list of ballparks that aren't even on the West Coast. Where's Wrigley Field rank on your list of WC ballparks? How about PNC Park? Camden Yards?

Still waiting to hear what MiLB team plays at Scottsdale Stadium. And where the AA ballparks are on the West Coast. Arrogant much? The topic wasn't determined by your query. The thread had a discussion going. You tried to limit it to your inane viewpoint. Funny that you're so objective you don't remember the thread. In fact not your own post where you initially mention Furd's field... talking down a field, yep in Colorado. You wanted a make it WC fields when the discussion never was. PS- I'll help you out, but no more enabling. Look up the ACL... with regard to MiLB. There will be a list of all the teams and two that share this stadium. |

PS: There is no AA baseball on the West Coast. There is no AA baseball west of Texas. I am a big fan of the third base line view at Volcanoes Stadium looking East at the Cascades. There is no view at Sunken Diamond that beats it. The views down the first base line are not as nice. But, at the end of the day, when you leave you aren't on campus at Stanford, which is nice. Volcanoes Stadium is bigger and more accessible than Sunken Diamond. You are also closer to the action and the facilities are nicer. Plus, Sunken Diamond is oriented North-South, so that you are always looking into the sun from pretty much every seat. Also, if you really wanted to make it something, you have a lot more ability to expand on Volcanoes Stadium and bring in extra seating. There are pros and cons to both. But I think that Volcanoes Stadium has a lot more pros than Sunken Diamond without so many glaring cons. |

I don't believe that Utah is, though. But Utah is in the Pacific-12 Conference. I tried to throw in stadia in the Pac-12 footprint. |

Ed Cheff stadium in Lewiston is gorgeous. NAIA host of WS forever, seats maybe 5k, practice field, indoor and outdoor cages, and always getting upgrades. Maybe better than any Pac12 stadium except for being in Lewiston, and the Warriors are always in the post season, and host the WS. So no shot to host another conference. |

My brother was Oregon State Legion MVP several years back, and I went with him to the Regional Tournament in Lewiston. It was a beautiful stadium. The walls were a bit too deep for my brother's liking, though. As I remember it, and give him grief all of the time, I am pretty sure that all of the times he made contact, he flew out to the warning track. Oregon did not win that Tournament. |

I'm a baseball nerd but I'd have to google about half those fields to locate them. And Isotopes Park is not on the west coast. It drains to the gulf of Mexico. Ive seen a few games at San Manuel Park - San Bernadino. I think they were in the Dodgers organization when I went. One game I attended was a Saturday night after something like 14 hours in the office. Got there in the third inning, bought two large beers and two dogs. Probably fewer than 500 people there so I sat about 8 rows up behind the first base dugout. Then a towering foul pop up. I'm watching it and I think this is not too far from me. A couple seconds later, I think "oh ship" and put my beer in the cup holder. It's coming right at me, twisting and drifting, I reach back with both hands to catch it . . . . and I whiff. The ball probably bounced 50feet high off the concrete behind me. I have no idea why I failed so badly and when my baseball skills left me.

And then, once I started, I thought, well, now that I am a couple of minutes in, I might as well put together a decent list and post it. I've been looking at these a little. Questions - google Hard Rock park and it takes me to South Carolina. Where is TicketSmarter Stadium? Which Olympic Stadium did you google? A ballpark in Hoquiam? I think the trifecta of Kiger Stadium, Miles Field (Harry & David), and Roseburg's Legion Field would make better hosts than many from your list. |

I probably should have thrown Legion Field on the list. Good point. |

I was looking at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento since a poster earlier thought northern CA would make a nice, comfortable site for the tourney. It seats 10k plus and looks like a very comfortable park. It would be my first choice for a tourney, but, like I said earlier, I suspect there was some sort of under the table deal between Scottsdale and Pac 12. There's little logic to it. www.sutterhealthpark.comNow, if only the Pac 12 guys would read Benny's House. |
