Memorial Stadium    Fort Wayne, IN
Dimensions:  LF:  330  CF:  400   RF:  330        Capacity: 6,516 (1999)        Opened: 1993

Stadium Minor League History:      Midwest League    1993-present

Current Status:  Home of the Fort Wayne Wizards of the Midwest League (single-A)

What's Good:  A large concession area on the cross-aisle behind home plate allows one to purchase refreshments without missing the on-field action.  There's also plenty of parking.

What's Not So Good:  The grandstand itself is quite unattractive -- blocky, big, and all concrete, and the whole place had a big, corporate atmosphere.  The first row of seats is a good 8-10 feet above the playing surface, and there were way too many security people and ushers.  The night I was there I swear there were more employees than fans.
