What's Good: Another classic example of pre-WWII stadium architecture, Dunn Field just looks like a ballpark is supposed to look. I was also fortunate enough to visit on a night when Andy Larkin threw a no-hitter. And Elmira is located in a scenic, pleasant area of New York.
What's Not So Good: When I was there, many of the seats were old and kind of uncomfortable; Ugly, modern-looking dugouts and clubhouses were built to satisfy PBA requirements, but the team ended up moving anyway. Thankfully, the Northeast League (which merged with the Northern league for the 1999 season) is keeping professional ball alive here.
