Klein Field at Sunken Diamond is a college baseball stadium on the campus of Stanford University in Stanford, California. It is the home field of the Stanford Cardinal of the Pacific-12 Conference. The stadium was built in 1931 and has a seating capacity of 4,000.〔(About Klein Field at Sunken Diamond ) at gostanford.com, URL accessed October 24, 2009. (Archived ) 10/24/09〕 When the adjacent football stadium was originally built in 1921, dirt was excavated from the site of the future baseball stadium, which created a "sunken" field a decade later. Originally just known simply as Sunken Diamond, the field was renamed in 2008 to honor Stanford athlete and donor Bud Klein (1927–2011) and his family. In 2013, the Cardinal ranked 39th among Division I baseball programs in attendance, averaging 1,747 per home game. In 2012, college baseball writer Eric Sorenson ranked the facility as the fourth best setting in Division I baseball. The playing field at Sunken Diamond is oriented in an unorthodox configuration, with the batter and catcher facing south. The recommended orientation of a baseball diamond is east-northeast.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Major League Baseball )〕 ==See also== * List of NCAA Division I baseball venues 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「Klein Field at Sunken Diamond」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
