I looked up the dimensions of the baseball field inside Alamodome and it is quite like the old Baker Bowl in Philadelphia (except shorter right up the middle). That, and being indoors with a capacity for baseball of just a few hundred less than our old Tiger Stadium in Detroit. Definitely not BC Place or the HHH Metronome, but suitable for temporary use for baseball, basketball, arena and Stadium concerts, as well as a more permanent use for soccer or American football.
@Michael Bauer It is a ball sport where the ball is kicked, or head butted toward a goal in a way that only the goal keeper can touch it with their hands. Other than in the U.S. it is called football, whereas our football here is a totally different game. It is also called association football here in the U.S. as well as other countries around the world.
Just looked this up that the rangers played a couple exhibition games here at the end of spring training only like five baseball games were played here

@@GeorgeDubya43 The big white semi truck in the middle. If you watch it on slow motion speed on your phone you can kind of see it. You can also see the ambulance pull up right beside it.
Frame by frame, he walked over to the other side of his truck, then went back to his door, opened it, then was flat on the ground and didn't move until the ambulance took him away. My initial thought is that he had a heart attack.
As a filipino I will never ever forget this dome because this is the venue were Manny Pacquiao became a superstar in boxing when he knockout Marco Antonio Barrera for the World Featherweight Championship
Lmao of the entire 6 minutes of sped up work, there was 15 seconds of actual event (from 4:08 to 4:23 ) 😂 Cleanup looked a lot easier than the setup luckily.
Would be nice if viewers knew how long this time lapse took. Can’t be sure but seems like at least 7 days which seems like a long time to do a conversion.
My guess is the truck driver got hurt. 1. Right outside his drivers door. 2. They stopped loading his truck and brought in others. 3. They unloaded his truck back into the pile it left empty.
Can we just take a moment to marvel at that basketball setup? That's very fan-friendly for a dome. I guess it had to be since it used to host the Spurs. If they're going to keep hosting basketball there though, that center-hung scoreboard is looking extremely dated. I know they have bigger video boards on the outer walls, but they overlooked the hanging scoreboard when they renovated the place recently.
They shouldn’t have had any lower deck at all in the outfield. That field is tiny. Granted, that would probably bring the capacity down to around 35,000 seats that wouldn’t have part of the outfield out of view but that capacity would be okay, at least for temporary use.
Yes, it looks as if the driver of that truck had a medical emergency. Go frame by frame, you'll see him walking around the front of it, then goes back and opens his door, then is seen laying flat on his back until the ambulance removes him.
It was never intended for baseball. The minor league team has their own outdoor stadium, but it only seats about 9000 which was too small for the major league exhibition games, so they used the dome instead. The crowds for each of these games in San Antonio were surprisingly big.
what i don't understand is wouldn't it be too easy to get a hr on that field? i mean what are the measurements? it looks like the right field wall is 40 feet from the edge of the infield
Granted the right field wall isn't far enough, but for a temporary venue for MLB exhibition games before the season starts, its okay... The Alamodome was built to be the football stadium for UTSA, but has failed to attract a NFL team. Too small for the NFL, but too big for UTSA. For a while it was the venue for the San Antonio Spurs NBA, while its been used for hockey, soccer, baseball, and rodeo... Basically a multi-purpose dome venue... If San Antonio ever landed a NFL or MLB franchise San Antonio would have to build a new stadium, but could use the Alamodome as a temporary venue until a new stadium is built. Most likely new locker rooms/clubhouses for a major league teams would have to be added... San Antonio could knock down the seating bowl beyond the right field fence to increase its size if necessary to please MLB...
They must have changed something over the years. I've never been there for baseball. I've been there for football and the turf didn't look like this crap. It was very good.
I remember the SUPERDOME would host a spring training game or two during some weekends back in the 80s and 90s. There, theyd have regulation foul lines (315ft minimum). I don't believe that would be possible there now with there past renovations. Back then, even for football games, the sideline seats would be farther back than usual.
For the residents of San Antonio I'm sure this was a cool novelty having a couple MLB games in town but shame on the MLB for not taking this a bit more seriously and doing the field the right way and also why not play two regular season games there, with every team getting 81 home games a year it wouldn't hurt to have two teams give up 1 home game a piece and have a 2 game series. The Astros vs the Rangers twice a year at the Alamo dome, and I know both games would sell out! San Antonio is a good sports town and deserve something cool like this!
@2:13 near middle of the screen where the turf is rolled back; the dirt stops before the boundary line so it slopes causing the ball to roll towards the boundary line instead of following it's momentum straight. P.s. Only an observation on what I seen. It may be a 'crown' for rain.. Unless it's a closed stadium🤔
Such an illusion. This configuration is a TINY field.... not just in right field. It's just that the distance to RF is so small it makes the CF and LF dimensions look expansive. Thing is.... this field is about the same size as my high school field was. It's a pathetic 280 feet to right field. Despite looking deep as hell, it's only 395 to that corner in dead center. And in LF it's a moderate 340 feet.... which is on the small side of the spectrum as far as pro baseball is concerned. It's hard to believe this place hosts MLB games once in a while.... granted usually spring training games, but still. The Dodgers and Rangers played there in 2015 during that year's spring games. The Dodgers hit 3 HRs in the first inning.... yeah. It's puzzling too. I mean it's a very.... VERY pathetic 280 feet to right. But look at all that foul territory down the third base line. If they'd just slide the whole infield toward the side where this camera is set up they could conceivably add about 20-30 feet to the RF dimensions while still maintaining a decent amount of foul territory down the 3B line. I mean just sliding that infield 20 feet toward us (the viewer) would make the RF dimensions a less of a joke, but still a joke nonetheless, at 300 feet even while maintaining the LF dimensions. I don't know. It's clearly not a place designed for baseball, that's for sure, but it just seems like they could alter the placement and angle of that infield to maximize the overall dimensions to a better degree if you ask me.
The reason the home plate is so far out is because of sight lines from the upper seating. the first year it was pushed back and people couldn't see. Realistcally the 2 games played here are just so fans from another city can get a chance to see the rangers play a game.
@@Ben-xp4gu The exhibition games that are played here at the end of spring training is to bring the Rangers or the Astros fans that live in Central Texas a MLB game to attend without having to fly or drive to Arlington or Houston several hours away... The combined metros of San Antonio and Austin is approaching SIX million, far too many for the Rangers and Astros to ignore... The Rangers have never drawn 3 million for one season, a goal they do desire to do, every fan attending a MLB game in Arlington from Central Texas is welcomed...
I am sure the Alamodome would be using artificial turf designed for a baseball field than a football field if baseball played a full season there. Notice the turf was cut in five yard widths suitable for a football field covered with the white chalk stripes...

A fascinating, pretty quick transformation for sure, but as others said you'd imagine the end result looking a bit different.
Why did they put dirt under the Astroturf if they weren't going to directly play on it when there's infill for the turf?
for the bases and the pitching mound
In baseball the infield is slightly higher then the outfield. An MLB field must have slight pitch from infield to outfield.
Probably to soften up the field for balls chopped on the ground. It would give a truer bounce than astroturf over concrete.

they have to put dirt on the floor UNDER the infield?

Is that grass made of velour? Why did they put a microthin layer of dirt under this cheap-looking grass in the infield?
What are the dimensions????? Center field look 450 ft.
280 ft. to right field.

Whine about ticket prices all you want but that is a hell of a lot of manhours to make these conversions.
