Today we're going to look at the America East conference. It's only got nine members to begin with, and only seven of them have varsity baseball teams. That's got to make things awkward for scheduling. New Hampshire and Vermont are the teams without "real" baseball. They dropped the sport in 1997 and 2009 respectively. I should also point out the NJIT doesn't have their own stadium. Instead, they use Kean's field. Which is somewhat by necessity, I'm sure. If you look at NJIT's campus, I have no clue where you would fit a baseball stadium anywhere close. And Newark, NJ, is not exactly known for it's wide open spaces, you know? So you make due. Or maybe you drop baseball. That's been a popular move in the last couple decades. Anyway, here are the stadiums of America East.
