I will be the first to post in here and give feedback on field 4:
1. The mound obviously has to go. Definite safety issue.
2. The grass too, it needs to go, or at the very least it needs to be cut in so the base paths are dirt. I slid on it last night and it is unsafe.
3. The outfield fences need to be raised
4. We need a scoreboard adapter like we have on field 3 so umpires can use the scoreboard from the field.
That's about it from me.

I didnt mind the grass, it is a nice change of not sliding onto concrete and 3/8 rocks when sliding into the base.
The lighting on field 4 seems a lot better.
Mound needs to go,
The distance between bases seemed short? Not sure if they actually are.
the field itself distance wise to the fence seems good, had quite a few ground rule doubles and fence height would need to go up.
other then that I think it would work.

I slid into second on that "grass" connected to cement last night and I stopped immediately and went flying up and forward. I'd rather take my chances with the dirt.  |

Whats up. So i like field 4. Here is my thoughts:
Grass needs to be trimmed down, cut, and broomed so we can take out any of the lips so the infielders dont complain.
Mound needs to be removed. No questions asked.
Lighting is good on field 4. Better then 3.
I feel the fence needs to be the taller heighth all the way across.
But if we are trying to maintain a decent tourney on two fields, we need the fields to mirror each other in quality. If we are taking the mound out there is no need for the grass and feel its only got to be a weakness. That people will complain that both fields are not the same.
Just my thoughts.

One other thing I noticed on field 4 was the practice mound that is in left field foul territory, that would have to be removed or fenced in for safety issues. I agree with the lighting, much better. Field 3 lighting simply needs to be adjusted. Especially in RF.
