Park Name: Long Island University Field Address: 161 Ashland Place, Brooklyn, New York 11201 Former Tenants: Long Island University Brooklyn Blackbirds (NCAA Division I) ????-2019 The view from down the first base line. The field features a short left field due to it being shoe-horned into a New York city block so the left field wall is a very tall net. Due to space constraints the main seating for baseball at LIU Field is on a small set of bleachers perched high above the first base side of the field. LIU Field is a multi-sport facility so all of the turf is artificial and lines for soccer and lacrosse run across the outfield. There is also a softball field in the right field corner, and the elevated softball stands act as outfield seating for baseball games. Additional seating is on a roll-away bleacher section that sits on the New York City sidewalk outside the fenced-in "Birdcage". The baseball scoreboard is perched above the home bullpen on the side of a campus building that presses in on the first base side of the field. The multi-sport scoreboard in left center field also displays the runs scored for the baseball games.
