For those who went to State, do you know what I'm referring to when I say old intramural fields? When my older sister went to State and learned of the old intramural fields, she assumed that the people referring to them with that label had memories of using them as the current intramural fields. She eventually realized that no upperclassmen knew them as anything other than the old intramural fields their entire time at State. I was at State years later, and everyone knew them as the old intramural fields.

So, were they ever the current intramural fields and then became the old intramural fields? If so, what year? Is there any proof of this? Or is this another example of the Mandela Effect?

They were just behind Dorman in the 1980s
The one closest to Dorman was the lighted field
During the time we played the Iranians for all school championship soccer, let me say it was just after the Iranian hostage situation, it was something I’ll never forget, hundreds of people came out to watch, there were plenty of kegs , there were several Iranians fans too … it was intense

We called them the intramural fields. Late 80’s-mid 90’s

I played on them 82-85. They are solid parking lots now except for what would have been the last 2 or 3 near the traffic light by vet school. There were no fences, base paths, etc just grass. Hopefully somebody from intramural dept would drop off some rubber bases, flags and belts, etc before games but not always. If not you used long white tube socks for flags tucked into your pants and crushed beer cans for home plate and bases. We always played softball just below what is The Fresh Market cafeteria now. Huge oak tree back then that shaded home plate and kept foul balls close is still there today.

We used to lose every softball game down on the end lot because the ditch was only about 150 feet. Home run rule killed us.

Do they still use the intramural fields that are across the road from where the softball intramural fields are/were?

I'm thinking that might be where we (Mississippi State Rugby Club) used to play our games in the early-80's.

Rugby now plays in the field by tennis courts towards South farm. Enjoyed watching the matches this fall.

I'm not at all sure where we played our games back then, other than it was on campus and not far from where the football team practiced and/or dormed. I say this because I do remember we'd occasionally have a few football players stop by our field to watch a little. I recall a few of them thought we were nuts...playing without pads & helmets, etc.
