Are there restrictions on how an owner can design his park ? If it was me in charge, it would be 600 feet to center field and 500 feet down the lines.

why? some, maybe most, fans come to see home runs. the short answer is...yes. the infield dimensions are set in stone...90' between bases and 60'6" rubber to plate. the outfield is a bit more elastic.

I was thinking......more inside-the-park home runs, more triples. More insane catches in the outfield. This is something Bill Veeck might have done.

OK,OK.....I realize this was pie-in-the-sky. But no comments at all ? So fan seating will be odd in the outfield...but 3 huge TV screens will fix that.
Outfielders play in close..trouble. They play back..trouble. MLB rules will soon eliminate infielders from playing on outfield grass, so no 4 outfielders.
Oh, I forgot about owners giving up 100,000 square feet of space for concessions and parking. This might be the death knell....

I kinda' recall back in the late 70's that George Steinbrenner moved/ directed the outfield fence/ wall of the newly renovated Yankee Stadium to make a smaller outfield so that the Jacksons, Munsons, Nettles, Murcurs, et.al. could hit more home runs.
