Would whoever started this poll start over and add Jamestown to the list!  Grand Forks an Dickinson on the list and not Jamestown, that takes all credibility away from the poll.

from a playing aspect corbett has to be the best field in the state...mandan is close but they have those bleachers that reflect so much when the sun is going down...how could williston have more votes than corbett

Jack Brown Stadium is the best field in the state.  It has the authentic baseball feeling.

Jack Brown Stadium is a sweet place to play but I would say its not the BEST field in the state but its up there...ill agree with smart source in from a playing aspect Corbett is the best field.

Dickinsons field is okay.. nothing special.. however, when you look at the seats it has and the general setup, it is nice, but the playing field isnt that great.  willistons is definatley nice, as well as mandans, but we always had to play on those other fields for spring and stuff before we played highschool ball

I think Minot has the best field.I would say williston but there foul lines are gay and and bismarck's field is no good. So i would have to say its between Mandan and Minot. Dickinsons field is to hilly, the outfield is bad for that.

Minot definetely had the best baseball atmosphere. As a player  my favorite game is going up to minot. They got the music playing and they actually got some high school kids that go to the game. Meanwhile the rest of the state seems just dead when it comes to baseball compared to what it was 5-10 years ago.
 
Mandans field is nice but it needs a brake they got BSC playing two seasons, mandan varisty and jv, shiloh, chiefs and As, heck standing rock even plays on there sometimes. I remember shiloh n standing rock were playing a game there and we were practicing on the other field and we can see boths teams taking soft toss into the fence around the back stop and dugout just destroying the fence. The sad part is they didnt know any better, i mean the batting cages were like 20 feet away. I dont know how much more of a beating that field can take.

I agree good post, Minot is a sweet place to play. Such a nice field.

I personally love Mandan. Its just a different type of field, nothing way out there but it's a little different, and a plus, the mound is fantastic. Jamestowns is also a very nice field.

i liked the mandan field but you could tell it was getting eaten up pretty bad from being used so often. williston has a good atmosphere but the foul lines and mound were brutal. jack williams would be one of the top fields if it wasnt destroyed every year by the river and if they hadnt ripped it up for the world softball classic. it would help if some people went to the games played there, but the redhawks take all the baseball interest away.

I'm not a fan of Williston's field.

I would have to say Minot has the best field, in terms of how it looks and playing on it. I believe Mandan has the best overall ballpark with seating and what not. Dickinson's ballpark is okay overall, but the field might be the worst part of it. I like the seating and the way most of it is setup.
