| ->> I think that I have never seen so many people with 70-200s (or wider) using monopods... |

| ->> Jack, I thought the same thing. Also, it's pretty lame to build a brand new baseball stadium tailor made for an NCAA national championship, and not put photo positions on the home plate side of the dugouts. |

->> Jack, good observation. There were a few people with lenses shorter than 70mm on monopods too.
The photo wells are huge, which is great considering how many photographers are there. The photo work rooms are nice, but not very big considering they are shared by the video people too.
Michael, good point about being limited to the far ends of the dugout. I got chased away from the areas behind home plate a couple of times yesterday.
Depending on which security officer is there, we can't change sides of the field by walking on the warning track along behind home plate. I was forced to go up the stairs through the stands, around the concourse and back down through the stands to change sides.
The other issue is that the photo wells are pretty deep. Anybody under 5'6" will need something to stand on. I'm 5'11" so I didn't have a problem. A few other photogs didn't seem pleased that they had to stand for the whole game. The photo wells at Rosenblatt Stadium had seats. |

| ->> I love the stitching. the batter is bunting, but the base runner on first is just standing there. #3 is just standing away from the base with NO FEET and running to 3rd base. so would it be ethical to fix the field play to one image to correct these items or do they stay as they were out of the camera? hmm... |

| ->> Michael...I don't know about the ethics of this image but it's funny that the 3rd basemen is walking back to the bag while the batter is bunting and that #3 is in the image 3 different times. |
