What's Good: This is a friendly, unpretentious stadium -- a great place to kick back and watch baseball on a hot, windy evening in north Texas. A roof, which covers a good part of the grandstand, provides some welcome shade, and there's even real outfield bleachers behind the left field wall. One interesting bit of information I gleaned while visiting: some of the box seats are actually from old Arlington Stadium (where the Rangers played before moving to TBIA).
What's Not So Good: Not much. It's a pretty basic place, but then again, it's not trying to be anything else. Oh yeah, it does get hot sometimes in Amarillo, too.
