Talk:List of NCAA Division I baseball venues

Proposed renaming
Hey all, what would you think about renaming this page "List of NCAA Division I baseball venues"? My argument for this is simply that "venue" covers the range of college baseball fields, stadiums, and everything in between more accurately than "stadium." Thoughts?

 * It's not a big point, but I could support the proposed name change, given that many actual venue names include the words "park" or "field," rather than "stadium." Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 16:53, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I would support this. I agree that it isn't a great distinction, but does more accurately describe the list.  I'd also note that our navboxes for venues call them "Ballparks" pretty uniformly. Billcasey905 (talk) 17:04, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Support I echo the above thoughts. Not a major issue, but I support the change. Mizzou415 (talk) 17:13, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Sounds good, I'll make the move. I just wanted to be sure about it before I add the page as a see also on all the venue pages. Kithira (talk) 01:17, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Field sizes
Adding field dimensions to the venue list would be useful to compare venue dimensions. This could, for example, be used to help put player and team home run totals into context based on the stadiums they played in during the season or be used to compare venue sizes between conferences.

Options for distances to add to the table include having a separate column each for left field, left-center, center field, right-center, rightfield (LF-LC-CF-RC-RF), allowing readers to sort by each column; having a single column with LF-LC-CF-RC-RF all together for conciseness but losing the ability to sort; or having a column for shortest and longest field dimension for each team along with the field direction(s) that that dimension applies to. Separate columns would add useful functionality but may clutter the list. Combining all dimensions into one column would show all the data and allow for parsing by a program, but this brings the issue of some stadiums only including LF-CF-RF dimensions (could use a ? in place of missing dimensions in this case). Using columns for shortest/longest distances would provide a useful comparison tool but wouldn't be fully descriptive.

Any thoughts on including the dimensions and, if so, how to include them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.136.136.233 (talk) 17:07, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
