Park Name: Hal Robertson Field at Philip Satow Stadium Tenants: Columbia University Lions (NCAA Division I- Ivy League) Grandstand Rebuilt: 2010 Address: 218th Street and Broadway, Manhattan, New York 10034 The view from down the first base line. The buildings beyond the outfield fence are actually across the river in the Bronx. The stadium is wedged in to a small area between several other parts of Columbia's athletic complex at the tip of the island of Manhattan. The small space leads to a very steep concrete seating bowl. Satow Statium is located beside and below the athletic center parking lot and fans pull their cars up to the fence overlooking the first base side to tailgate during the game. The football field and track push into foul territory on the third base side, so the stands don't wrap around past home plate. Small sets of aluminum bleachers sit alongside the track overlooking the third base side of the ballpark. The visitor's dugout sits underneath the track. A support pole for the backstop screen sits in play in foul territory. The outfield at Satow Stadium is hemmed in by the Harlem River leading to very unique dimensions where the shallowest field is in center and right field extends deep into the corner. |
