    Beautiful! I can't wait. I am going to a couple of games in June. My girlfriend and I are going to be down in Memphis for 4 days and are going to a day game and a night game. Our seats are basically where the closest guy is in the photo. I'll be taking plenty of photos while down there.

            Seen that before, that has to be one of the best views a minor league can have!

              Agreed, definitely one of my favorite minor league parks. Philly skyline(in certain spots) and the Ben Franklin Bridge as backdrops. Love it!

                  I may be moving to an area north east of Memphis and look forward to going to games there...

                    Tonight I will be visiting my second minor league park for a game in two weeks, as I'll be going to Cooper Stadium in Columbus for one of the last Clippers games there. Anyone have any pictures? I don't have a digital camera, otherwise . . .


                    A couple weeks ago I visited VA Memorial in Chillicothe, Ohio, for a Paints game. Rather rustic, comparitively, to other Frontier League stadiums such as in Florence, Kentucky or Washington, Pennsylvania.

                      True, I've turned left out of the parking lot and went under the bridge to the other side and that was a mistake!

                        My biggest mistake was once bicycling from Bayonne to Liberty State park and having to cross Jersey City. Can you say, make no eye contact and pedal like the wind???

                          And on a bike too, that would seem worse than a car, lol.

                          Here's a couple of shots of Sovereign Bank Stadium in York, PA. This is a great town(awesome fried chicken at the Stadium Bar and Grille), but also a place where you don't want to make a wrong turn!

                          This stadium as you see has sort of a replica/homage to the Green Monster of Fenway in left field(this wall is straight wood except maybe for the scoreboard, as far as I know, thought that may be wood too.)

                            Beautiful stadium, but I hate all that exposed concrete especially around the dugouts...doesn't look good and seems like it would be tough to see the ball if it's hit near the corners.

                              True, the stadium was still under construction during the entire season last year which is when these pictures were taken. Unfortunately I haven't been there yet this season so I don't know if it has changed. I do know the exposed concrete was behind home plate too during the opening series(at least) before eventually having padding installed. As for the view, yeah it seems as if you're sitting past the dugouts down either line, you wouldn't be able to see any action in the corners

                              Here's another shot of Campbell's Field during a neutral site game(hence the nearly empty stands)
