Why are Baseball dugouts built half below ground?

Why are Baseball dugouts built half below ground.

     If dugouts were built any higher, notes baseball stadium manufacturer Dale K. Elrod, the site lines in back of the dugout would be blocked. Baseball parks would either have to eliminate choice seats behind the dugout or sell tickets with an unobstructed view at a reduced price.
     If dugouts were built lower, either hte players would not be able to see the game without periscopes or they wouldn't have room to stretch out between innings.
