The outside of Vocanoes Stadium.  A bit different; but not bad.  Parking was free; getting to the stadium was easy. There was a small gift shop (structure to the left of the green umbrellas). 

 

 Things I liked:

• It was 'net free' down the baselines
• Train beyond right field
• Deutche Mirror Pond Beer @ $4.75
• It was pleasantly free of lots of noise/music between pitches and innings (there was some; but not too often)
• Attending a game in daylight and leaving the game in daylight
• The sunset (see photo below)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remains of the 4th of July celebration.  Nice green field.  Red seats, sun-bleached pink. 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Although this photo looks like weather might have been an issue at this game, it wasn't.

Music/Noise Level: 

It was pleasantly quiet; music is played but not too often.  It was sweetness to my ears.  Kudos to the Volcanoes organization for doing the music level correctly.

Things I didn't like:

• Starting line up was not posted (one had to buy them, if needed in advance)
• Fan turnout was poor (less than 25% full)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One unique feature at this stadium...the visiting team players had to walk on the concourse to get down to the field and the dugout.  Three Tri-City Dust Devils players are walking the concourse and decending the steps here. 

 

The stadium had two levels with a concourse separating the two. 

 

Bullpens are on the field.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We were treated to a beautiful sunset after the game.
