Based on
the current layout, it seems that the field has turned 90 degrees since last year. This was probably due to the fact that last year, game pieces were flying into pits behind the field (They seem to have drapings of varying heights to stop that this year), and I guess it might allow for an increased amount of seats with good views, since spectators will now want to sit on the horizontal sides of the arena rather than the left vertical side. However, by turning the field, it looks like now people must go to the corner stairwells to access the seating as it is all upstairs (similar to Rutgers 2012), instead being able to walk directly up the extended bleachers that Lehigh had last year.
Also, what exactly is the 'Peanut Gallery' for?
