The Good: Pohlman Field is a basic, plain place to watch baseball. There's an angled grandstand (with a simple roof) behind home, with bleacher sections down the lines. Food and beverages were good here, and the atmosphere is pretty laid-back. While there's nothing particularly special about the stadium itself, the ballpark is comfortable and the staff and fans friendly. There's also a very well-stocked souvenir store with an impressive selection of hats featuring permutations on the Snappers' turtle logo.

The Not So Good: As pleasant as it is, it's also somewhat boring, and fans sitting in the main grandstand have to look through the backstop net, as the whole structure is protected by it.
