Chase Field always seems more SSW - NNE to me, but it's probably close to S - N so no complaint.

 

What is the purpose of this list, if you don't mind me asking?

According to the image on Google Maps, it's pretty much straight-on S to N.

Just wondering, why isn't the list consistent with the reference points? Why aren't they all listed as Home to Center?

Feels like some kind of riddle. Like there's something I'm supposed to "figure out". But I cant.

Tropicana Field – Tampa

Home to Center (SW – NE)

 

It's in St. Petersburg, a completely different city and county altogether. Not sure if that matters to your list. You said, "any mistakes". Just sayin...

yeah, I went and checked that, too. Still, it's a "feel" thing when I'm actually in the building, based on walking around outside prior to the game and familiarity with the downtown area. Maybe the roof is just throwing off my internal compass a tad.

For what it's worth, Google Maps puts my house about two miles from its actual location. Without checking, I bet it puts Tropicana Field in St. Pete, though.

When you type in the address and look at the star/pin point on the schematic map that may be true. I'm pretty sure that when you click on the satellite photo your house is in the right spot though.

I don't understand what you mean. Tropicana Field is in St. Pete. I live 18 miles from the dump. Is Miller Park technically in Milwaukee? For some reason I thought it was the village? of West Milwaukee?

[Warning Track Power]

Angel Stadium (1B - LF): West to East

Dodger (Home - Center): Southwest to Northeast

Miller Park is very near West Milwaukee, but it's in Milwaukee. Here are crops from a Milwaukee County map provided by wisconline.com.

The City of Milwaukee is shaded yellow. West of Miller Park Way, National Avenue is the border between Milwaukee and West Milwaukee. East of Miller Park Way, the border extends north of National, but stops short of the parking lots.

Pitch it used to throw me off as well....until I started thinking about it after I drove by it every day on I-10/17. The stadium faces directly towards Sky Harbor to the east. Center field is landscaped with the giant opening panels, thus facing north. When you walk in though, it does mess you up. I totally agree on that.
