Tengen Stadium dimensions

[JerryD]

It is not a square.

Those aren't pillows

[TβG]

has anyone ever noticed that the top of the flag poles on the scoreboard light up when you hit a homerun?  it's hard to tell from these pics, but i think there's enough evidence to show you what i'm talking about. 

i used the heaven vs. hell teams on the rbibrock.nes rom if you want to recreate this.

[JoeDirt]

Jerry--do you know what a square looks like?

[TbT]

wowza...awesome topic.  i have found pics online before of the whole field pieced together like fighton did.....i believe that would make for an awesome t-shirt.

[TβG]

that's a rhombus or quadrangle...

[JoeDirt]

No, it's a square.  We just aren't looking at it at the right direction.  It's clearly not a rhombus or a parallelogram...and quadrangle is an architecural term.

[TβG]

We just aren't looking at it at the right direction. 

if you mean the right perspective--meaning from directly above, i think you now understand the discussion about the field measurements.

[JoeDirt]

Same fuckin' thing.  I understood before, so don't worry about me, Teddy.  I'm saying that if we had the pleasure of viewing the square from the 3rd base dugout, it'd look more conventional.

[TbT]

some where deep in the anals of dee-nee there was a discussion/thread on the dimensions and i believe they used the ol' ruler effort somewhat similar to shootys ploy.

[JerryD]

If it's a square than someone needs to take better pictures.

[TbT]

whats all this square crap talk?  everyone friggin knows its a diamond.   

[Attezz]

I agree with Metal King.

OK, here are the dimensions using my wicked ass math skills:

LF Line: 235 FT
RF line: 235 FT
CF: 331 FT
LCF: 301 FT
RCF: 301 FT

Don't know how to line up colums, but  the first column is actual measured disctance on the scree in inches...used that to determine that 1 vertical inch = 81.49 feet, while 1 horizontal inch = 42.43 ft. 

The next two columns are the actual screen measurements (vertical distance first, horizontal distance second), then the next two colums translates these numbers to the full size equivalents.  The last column is just the Pythagorum calculation to determine the straight line distance.

Anyway, that was way too nerdy for me...off to go play some poker and fuck some hookers.

[JerryD]

You cheated. 

[JoeDirt]

You cheated. 

So can we put to bed the board's 2nd stupidest debate and agree that it's a square? 

(Note: the # 1 stupidest debate on the board was when Rac and Beejay were both arguing that Pujols has more power than Derek Lee).

[TbT]

square?  dangitt joe, now your showin us a bunch of X's.

make up yer mind there buddy.

[JerryD]

I'll agree JUST for you.
