The Good: Vonachen Stadium is a very average ballpark. About ten rows of individual seats ring the field with a few rows of bench seating after that, while over on the first base side there's an extra level of bleacher seating. Good views can be had from just about anywhere, there's plenty of parking, and the food was OK, too -- there just wasn't anything special here.

The Not So Good: There's no roof, the plain design of the park is rather boring, and the place is situated within earshot of an interstate highway.
