To: Anoka/Hennepin District #11 School Board members and the CPHS Athletic Director: From: Concerned High School and Youth Fastpitch Fans/Spectators Spectator safety at the Champlin Park High School Fastpitch complex needs immediate improvement!!! With 4 fields in close proximity and only minimal backstops, there have been many minor injuries from balls leaving one field of play and hitting spectators watching games on other field of play. It is only a matter of time before a spectator is seriously injured by a batted ball. We urge the CPHS Athletic Director and/or the A/H #11 School Board to immediately commission a study to determine the appropriate means (i.e. extensions on backstops and/or safety netting over spectator areas) of improving spectator safety at the CPHS Fastpitch complex. Respectfully submitted by the Fastpitch community of CPHS and A/H School District #11.

I really thought this might just float around in the void but seeing so many people agree that the fields are basically a hazard zone is honestly kind of overwhelming. It is wild to think about how many foul balls have whizzed past us while we were just trying to enjoy a game and now that we have this momentum I am ready to start knocking on some office doors to get the netting installed before someone actually gets hurt.

Fix this now before a kid gets seriously hurt. Totally unsafe design.

Ridiculous that it has been like this for as long as it has. Spectator safety should be priority #1 for the school board.

It is a disaster waiting to happen. You cant even enjoy a game without worrying about a foul ball taking someone out from the next field.

I stopped going to games because I am terrified for my younger kids. Put up the netting already.

My daughter got hit in the arm last year watching her sister play. It leaves you constantly looking over your shoulder instead of watching the game.

SO DANGEROUS. I have seen way too many close calls.
