^ Yeah, I was gonna say that the NW corner of Roosevelt and Halsted is really just a terrible place for that large baseball field.
What is up with mid-century campus/parks development and their obsession with putting tennis courts and baseball fields everywhere? They are a horrible idea placed in public parks, particularly in Chicago where 7 months out of the year they are basically a waste of space.
That corner should be filled in with development to visually connect the University Village neighborhood to the main campus north of Roosevelt.
