Thiemann: Princeton's venues shape the sporting fan's experience

Welcome to spring!It is spring, isn't it?Well, it seemed to be last weekend for at least a few sunny hours when I looked out my window and realized that my JP could be put off for another day.So I grabbed my mitt, called a friend and headed out to Clarke Field to watch the baseball team take on Columbia while I stood on the hill and had a catch.It was up on the hill overlooking the field that I realized that each Princeton athletic facility has its own flavor and that the atmosphere at an event is based not only on the fans, but also the field or building which houses it.So, here are my choices for the places where I like to watch games the most here on campus. 1) Baker RinkPros: There is no cooler, more overlooked sporting event at Princeton than a hockey game, and much of the credit goes to Baker Rink.
