The three items you describe don't really compare to the difference between a HS and college field -- goalposts and hash marks.

I'll admit there aren't many "pony" league baseball fields with 75 foot bases, but there are some. Dimensions of a HS basketball court is an absolutely relevant comparison. Different goalpost widths (whether moving to a HS field or a pro field as was done for the Wabash/Wash U game in 1984) can change the outcome of a game.

Entire coaching schemes and strategies are based on sets of established criteria. Football game plans are routinely based on field and boundary schemes, both offensively and defensively. Those things should not be changed mid-game.

Twice Wabash has moved a tied game to Crawfordsville HS (won one/lost one). I'm a Wabash guy. It's my opinion that neither game should've been moved. We can agree to disagree.
It's either a thoughtful comment or smartass sarcasm. Recognize the difference.

My opinion is that it's not the travesty you make it sound like. Unless there is something unique about Crawfordsville High's field, I believe it is still the same dimensions as our gym back in Hickory.
