A whole lot easier than I expected. It was easy to access the ballpark even though website said it would be difficult.

Customer Service:
Excellent

Personal Notes:

• Indianapolis Indians (visiting team - AAA Pittsburgh Pirates) all wore hi-socks
• Bark in the Park
• No hitter till 7th
• Boiled peanuts - I had forgotten how good they are
• Mascot/Chopper – thought he was going to be an issue – walked on dugout during an inning (blocking my view) but he just did it once so he was far better than Sox the Fox
• Bullpens not on field
• One level of seating plus sky boxes
• Attendance was poor (Braves at home same date? – not sure reason)

Here's the field. I never did figure out what that rectangular dirt patch with white ends behind the umpire was for.

There was a path behind the scoreboard and the flags one could walk around the entire field. Quite nice.




This was taken from the outfield concourse.

It's a good look of the seating area: one level plus the sky boxes.

The concourse above home plate area is open so one can see outside the stadium. I like that design.

And, you can see the nice look of hi-socks worn by the Indianapolis team.




It was Bark in the Park night. Fans got to bring their dogs to the game and sit out in the grassy berm area in the outfield.

There were dog contests such as: the best trick and the dog who looked most like their owner




This was taken from where I sat at this game.

On the right side of the outfield wall, you can see an opening. That is where one of the bullpens is located. The other one is in the same spot but on the left field side.




My baseball gear.

There was a no hitter going into the 7th inning by Indianapolis Indians pitcher Jeremy Powell. I was quite excited.

But he gave up a hit and a home run in the bottom of the 7th as indicated on the score card.




And finally, the starting line up.

I'll check back in a year or two and see if any of these individuals are playing regularly in MLB.
