What makes BOB so unique?

Published in Daily Trivia
The playing field at the new Arizona Bank One Ballpark (BOB) is the only field in Major League Baseball that faces directly north, unlike other fields, where the third-base line points north. The grass on the playing field is De Anza zoysia, a hybrid specially formulated for hot, desert climates. It tolerates low-light conditions well — an important factor when BOB’s mammoth retractable roof is closed during Arizona's hot afternoon games. The grass was developed by the University of California at Riverside.
