All I Want is a Place to Play

The field above is the Sunken Diamond on the Stanford campus. One of the more scenic college fields I have seen.

The part of this field I am interested is the bullpen down the line. I have a need, perceived at least, that practices could be more efficient hitting wise if we had more batting tunnels. We could have more athletes busy hitting at any given time. The most logical place is next to the existing tunnels. That is where the bullpens are now. If the pens were moved out into foul territory about 20 feet, similar to the above picture, that would free up some land next to the tunnels for hitting stations or tunnels.

Too bad I have to spend my time fixing the ruts in the wash board like outfield from the person that mows the same way everytime, especially when the ground is wet, further insuring that the ruts are deep.
