The Ballparks Hosting NCAA Regionals This Weekend

One of the many fun parts of baseball’s NCAA Tournament is the ballparks. With top seeds hosting each Regional and Super Regional, you get a wide range of environments, especially in a year when—to take a pertinent example—Indiana State is hosting.

Here’s each ballpark in action this weekend, along with its capacity:

The gap between the environments in the Fayetteville and Terre Haute Regionals might not be massive in margin—it’s only 8,737 people, not many against the baseball-watcher’s instinctual context of an MLB stadium—but proportionally, you have ballparks which can hold five times as many people as others. That’s a big swing! Even without that, too: The uniqueness of the environments is special, and as college baseball continues to grow, it’s hopefully one of those character pieces that will stick around.
