What's Good: This was a pleasant, servicable, historic AAA ballpark. While not quite as grand as Silver Stadium or Bush Stadium, it was comfortable enough, and was similarly evocative of an earlier era in baseball history. The "erector set" light stanchions only served to further this point. The food and beer selections were good, too.
What's Not So Good: Not a whole lot, actually. OK, I did have to shell out $6 for a program, by far the most expensive minor league program I've encountered. The roof didn't cover the whole grandstand, and there was a certain aura of decay setting in, but it was still a fine place to watch baseball.
