Jerry Kindall Field at Frank Sancet Stadium is a college baseball stadium in Tucson, Arizona, on the campus of the University of Arizona. Until 2011, it was the home field of the Arizona Wildcats of the Pac-10 Conference. Opened in 1967 and originally called "Wildcat Field," the stadium was named after Frank Sancet (head coach from 1950–72) in 1986, and was renamed in 2004 to include former head coach Jerry Kindall. Beginning in the 2012 season, the Wildcat baseball team plays at Hi Corbett Field, a former spring training facility located about three miles southeast of campus;〔http://www.arizonawildcats.com/sports/m-basebl/spec-rel/081011aac.html〕 the Wildcat football program has been using Jerry Kindall Field as a football practice facility since the 2012 preseason, and the 2013 football spring game was held there, due to renovations at Arizona Stadium. ==Stadium facts== * Surface: The outfield is Bermuda, while the infield is a Tifgreen (said to be durable in hot weather, a factor during the baseball season in Tucson). The infield consists of Stabilizer Red dirt, and Stabilizer Clay is used around home plate and on the mound. A new irrigation system was installed in 2007 for the infield grass and dirt. The grounds crews overseeds the field in November with a Perennial Rye, Arnold Palmer II, to prepare it for the season. The area in front of the dugouts is AstroTurf. * Field dimensions: 360 feet (110 m) down each foul line, 378 feet (115 m) to the power alleys and 400 feet (122 m) to center field. * Through 2008, Arizona has posted a 32-year mark of 820-343-3 (.705) in more than 1,100 games at Sancet Stadium. UA has had just three losing records at Sancet Stadium and nearly reached perfection in 1974 with a 37-1 home campaign. The stadium has also been the site of four NCAA Regionals (1979, '80, '89 and '92). * Ballpark traditions include the "Sixth Street Slam", when an Arizona player hits it over the right field fence and onto traffic on Tucson's 6th Street. * The visitors' section of the stands is often occupied by members of the Hot Corner, the baseball contingent of the Zona Zoo, Arizona's athletics student section. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jerry Kindall Field at Frank Sancet Stadium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
