OT: Minor League Parks

[MartyFromCANADA]

Buffalo Bisons - Coca Cola Field

Only one for me.

*Also saw the now defunct Ottawa Lynx AAA - Ottawa Stadium
-early 90's, Hamilton Redbirds Low A (St. Louis affiliate) - Bernie Arbour Stadium

Exactly one:

Avista Stadium (Spokane, WA) - home of the Spokane Indians

Season ticket holder, though, so I've been there hundreds of times, LOL.

Pawtucket (Red Sox AAA)

Hadlock (Red Sox AA)

Durham Bulls, played at old stadium, watched many games at the new one.
Carolina Mudcats
Winston-Salem Dash (won the air guitar showdown with my buddy between the 5th inning break, I'll do a lot for a free t-shirt)
Greensboro Grasshoppers
Asheville Tourists
Myrtle Beach Tourists
Charlotte Knights (Worst park by far)
Savannah Sand Gnats
Iowa Cubs

I love me some minor league baseball.

Hi Pete,

What made the Charlotte park the worst?

It was their old park (3 years ago). There was no personality to the stadium (same dimensions down the line, to the gaps). Team store was the size of my bathroom. Seats weren't comfortable, nobody really seemed into the game. I heard they got a new stadium.

Roger that. Thanks for the explanation-I hate those 'Kingdome-esque' stadiums.

Not with the Bulls, amateur ball. It was fun being in the dugout and thinking Crash and meat were there.

Embarrassingly I have only been to one so far, though I went many times, and surprisingly I am the first to post it: Zephyrs Field in New Orleans (AAA). That right there is a steamy baseball game.

Dang. Was hoping you were a player with them (no offense).

My brother-in-law (Dan Snover) actually spent a few weeks with the Bulls when he was in the Braves' farm system. He was there in 1990. Long enough to get a card made during his time there and to generate game-worn jerseys, one of which I came across on Ebay and was able to purchase.

When I asked him about the Bull Durham movie, his answer was "That movie was basically a documentary except the groupies aren't as hot as in the movie"
