An artificial infield gives way to a grass outfield.

• Location: Brownfield Road between 4 Street and Indiana Avenue, Lubbock, Texas
• Opened: 1988 (or earlier)
• Home team: Lubbock Crickets, Texas-Louisiana League (1995-98); Texas Tech University Red Raiders, Big XII Conference
• Capacity: 6,000 (approx.)

The field, which was dedicated to Dan Law in 1988, features one of my least favorite configurations, an artificial turf infield and a grass outfield. Here are two more examples of it, one of which has since been demolished.

For four years, Texas Tech hosted an independent pro team, the Lubbock Crickets. They them moved to the fertile ground of Ozark, Mo.
