New Brunswick, N.J. ? Two city officials have developed a way to keep overzealous parents from disrupting baseball games at a new $2.5 million youth sports complex.

Recreation Superintendent Mike Blackwell and Tom Weingartner, an engineer for the Middlesex County town, used truckloads of fill to raise two of the complex’s three fields 10 feet off the ground. This means anyone standing behind the backstop a prime heckling spot cannot see the action.

The design also put the bleachers well down the foul line into the outfield, separating parents from the dugouts.

“We designed it so it removes a parent from the field, so a kid can be a kid, an umpire can be an umpire, and a coach can be a coach,” Blackwell told The Star-Ledger of Newark.
