Location and Features

Lower Moab Scenic Overlook Field is located in the western part of downtown Hellmouth, just off of BAD 191. Its grounds rest on the edge of the main Hellmouth sinkhole, and are bisected by several smaller sinkholes, cracks, teeth, and ruined city blocks. The grounds are surrounded by the Infinite Mill Creek moat, whose inscrutable geometry protects the field from unwelcome visitors and aspiring god-killers.

When walking into the ballpark there is a waterfall feature, believed to be molten gold. The front entrance of the ballpark was angled in such a way that the Sun would rise in line with it and the waterfall on the first day of every new blaseball Season. As best as can be observed, the Sun changed its path slightly following the opening of the Hellmouth to preserve this tradition.

Sun 2, which appeared near the end of Season 10 and has been a constant presence in the skies above Hellmouth ever since, has not demonstrated this property. Talks were underway to build or seek out a system which would turn the ballpark and ensure Sun 2 could rise at season's dawn in alignment, but finalized plans have not yet been forthcoming.

The ballpark is separated into several sections separated by a Hellmouth sinkhole. In order of distance from the center of the Hellmouth these sections are:

  • Sub-Ocean (contains endless, labyrinthine[1] depths)
  • The Undercroft
  • Third Base and Minor Outlying Bases
  • The Dugouts (occasionally infested with triangles[2])
  • Infield
  • Ballpark Seating and Refreshments
    • An Archery Range, for a misplaced arch
    • The Rhys Trombone Memorial Food Court and Equestrian Center, run by the titanic moth who sells hot dogs
  • Outfield
  • Fourth Base
  • The Announcer's Booth
  • The Accounting Department

Notoriety

Lower Moab Scenic Overlook Field holds the record for the blaseball field with the most vertical distance between bases. This is due to both the ballpark's 20° incline and its unique structural design as a result of the opening of the Hellmouth.

Cheers echo from the empty ballpark, which only holds six seats[citation needed]. Occasionally the field flips backwards, and the energy of the Hellmouth below can bring objects to life. On the upside, the soda there is cheap!

The ballpark can be entered during a siesta, which causes a Bad Gateway that opens directly onto first base.

Community Use

Following renovations to the stadium beginning in Season 13 the Hellmouth Sunbeams have recently been allowing members of the community to use the space for non-blaseball related purposes. While this has not impacted attendance during blaseball games, as the activity the Hellmouth at this time is still deemed as too unsafe for an audience other than Dead Tom and Priya Fox, the space is available at other times during the day. Below is listed some of the common alternate uses for the space aside from blaseball stadium.

  • With the addition of a grind rail and psychoacoustics local skaters have been frequently seen hanging around the stadium. A local skater and Hellmouth Community College TA known by the name Throckmorton "Cousin Throcky" Smooth has taken this as an opportunity to help teach other members of the Hellmouth to skate on weekends. Smooth has been reported noting that they intended for this program to be offered towards children and young teens, looking for a safe, fun activity to fill the time in the dangerous environment of the Hellmouth, but they adore the involvement of older locals too.[3] Most notably Hellmouth Sunbeams pitcher Miguel James has frequently been spotted in attendance. Those who have skated with James state that she's "a much better pitcher than skater" and "will probably get there one day," though the latter statement is still up for debate.
  • Former Sunbeams player Hendricks Richardson has been known to use the Solarium to host his bi-annual Marx Memorial Lecture Series for a rapt audience of wolves and his old teammate, Paula Reddick. The fact that these lectures regularly draw more attendees than Hahn Fox's 24 hour Plitbull and Kle$ha Extravaganza is considered, by Fox, to be “astonishing.”
  • Despite the parking lot outside the Solarium is a molten pile of asphalt lately locals have run a monthly “Stuff Exchange” inside the Solarium using the empty, worn down husks of cars as booths. Though fishing the cars out of the goo can be a dangerous task the exchange itself is quite a fun time. After the event the cars that have not been scrapped for parts completely (as they are also a part of this exchange) are put back in the molten parking lot. Though some believe it may be easier to relocate them between exchanges, others enjoy the thrill of the fishing process.
  • Sols Melodious are infrequently seen performing in the Solarium. None of these are scheduled, so catching one is truly up to chance. The Hellmouth seemingly is a fan, though the only evidence to this claim is that it has not destroyed any of the Sols Melodious’s members in these performances. This is considered quite high praise.
