What's Good:  Nothing fancy, just a warm friendly ballpark in what looks like a nice city.  The grandstand has a full roof, but two uncovered bleacher sections are down the lines.  The food and drinks were OK, prices were very reasonable, and everyone seemed quite friendly.

What's Not So Good:  Not much.  Although all the sources say it was built in 1931, having sat in the grandstand I really believe that the structure is newer than that, based on the way it's constructed.  Maybe one day I'll learn the truth...
