Things I Liked:

• They had homemade boiled peanuts
• Music was not intrusive
• $2 Yuengling up until the first pitch
• Visiting team (M-Braves) all wore hi-socks
• All seats were general admission. You could sit where you want and move around easily.
• Friendly fans
• Murals painted on the stairwells

One sample of the murals painted on the stairwells. There are a whole variety with some having plaques attached. It spruced up an aging venue.

Things I Didn't Like:

• There is really no neighborhood. There is not a hotel within walking distance of the park. About 1/2 mile away are some local chains and fast food but there are no sidewalks.

Taken from the first base side (visitor's side) during the National Anthem. Hi socks look good on ball players.






View from behind home plate.

A nice set of trees beyond the outfield walls.

Real grass and real dirt (as it should be).
