$851,000
The plaintiff entered the Field House to inform her son that he needed to leave to eat dinner, when she was suddenly struck in the head by a baseball that had been hit off the metal bat of a 12-year-old who was taking live baseball batting practice in the Field House. The Field House is dedicated to football, soccer, and lacrosse. Batting practice is limited to the “Hitting House,” a separate area from the Field House. Because the Field House is limited to other sports, the plaintiff was not aware, nor could she reasonably anticipate, that live baseballs were firing across the Field House.
