Purple Outfield Padding - North Alabama University
The University of North Alabama padded the outfield at Mike D. Lane Field using three different pad configurations:
- Stacked panels. The left field wall and left field sideline run 16 feet tall at its highest points, requiring us to stack two standard 8 foot panels.
- Standard 8 foot pads. The majority of the wall, at conventional outfield height.
- Square rail & post pads. Where there is chain link, the rails & posts exclusively. This keeps the fence transparent, so the bullpens can watch the game.
Every pad is the same purple, so a wall that changes construction three times reads as one continuous surface from the infield.
