SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – A ballgame with a great view? You can find both at Point Loma Nazarene University’s baseball stadium.
In a recent article, MLB.com recognized Carroll B. Land Stadium, where the PLNU Sea Lions play their home games, as “America’s most scenic ballpark."

One section of the outfield fence is without padding, and keeping the chain-link fencing allows fans to see the Pacific Ocean as if looking through a window.

School officials said having a nice place to play like Carroll B. Land Stadium has been helpful in recruiting players and the team’s overall success in NCAA Division II.
