Image of an empty Crabitat, taken on a restful Sunday.

The Crabitat is the home field of the Baltimore Crabs. The Crabitat is located on the back of a titanic crab - known only as The Crabaclysm - of unknown origin, though the consensus among most experts is that the exterior shell is between 145 million - 160 million years old. The stadium itself is about 36,000 square feet, with the playing field comprising 15,000 square feet on its own. About 8,000 square feet of the field is submerged in at least one foot of water, but never so deep that a six foot tall woman would get her hair wet.


The Crabitat is also sometimes known among younger fans as the Crustadium, although many of the old guard fear to say this name aloud less the Crabitat hear them and punish them for their impudence. At least 15 deaths per game are attributed to this blasphemy, but it has yet to dissuade people from tricking their friends into saying it.


History

The colossal crab upon which the Crabitat would be constructed was discovered in a forgotten Baltimore neighborhood in 1963 when it emerged for it's bi-millennial molting. It is thought that the crab had been lying there undisturbed since the late Crustaceous period, which would indicate that the crab is at least 160 million years old at this time, although Crabolytes postulate that The Crabaclysm is the Avatar of The Great Crab and is therefore immortal. The Crabitat was built into a professional-league blaseball stadium in 1968 at a cost of many lives and many, many more sanities.


Appearance

The Crabitat is a colossal stadium/fortress designed in The Great Crab's image. The armor plated exterior is painted a red orange color to reflect the magnificence of The Great Crab. Each Grandstand is formed into the shape of a mighty pincer and if needed can be remotely activated to engage intruders or other stadiums in combat. The highest walls stand at an impressive 200 feet and the magnificent mandibles of the Crabitat serve as an entrance, a warning, and a potent weapon.
