What makes BOB so unique?

The playing field at the new Arizona Bank One Ballpark (BOB) is the only field in Major League Baseball that faces directly north, unlike other fields, where the third-base line points north. The grass on the playing field is De Anza zoysia, a hybrid specially formulated for hot, desert climates. It tolerates low-light conditions well — an important factor when BOB’s mammoth retractable roof is closed during Arizona's hot afternoon games. The grass was developed by the University of California at Riverside.

That would make it an illegal park under baseball rules. All parks are supposed to be oriented with nome thru second in a Northeasterly direction. Domed or that that is against the rules.
