Texas Longhorns baseball (1928–1974)

Clark Field was a baseball park in Austin, Texas, used primarily by the University of Texas Longhorns. The field was used from 1928 until 1974. It is considered one of the most novel ballparks ever conceived thanks to its location. There was a limestone cliff in the outfield that created havoc for outfielders and made baseball games exciting.[1] It was replaced by UFCU Disch-Falk Field in 1975.
