Critiquing the WORST MINOR LEAGUE Ballparks in America - More Terribad Stadiums
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 апр 2019
- Minor league baseball has a deep rooted history in American Culture - did you know that in 1949, there were over 59 leagues and 448 ball clubs?
As time wore on and competing inventions to keep us occupied like television and real dolls hit the market, this number gradually dwindled down to the current total of 160 teams today.
People moved on. Teams left town. More focus was put on the big league level so that Mike Trout could make enough money to hire a team of midgets to carry him around on their shoulders.
And some of the minor league teams that are left, play in pretty horrible stadiums. Maybe they are remnants of that era long past.
Maybe they were the result of poor planning, or lack of attention. Either way, today we’re going to look at the worst minor league ballparks in baseball, and that’s coming up, right after this.

You should do a stadium by state series where you rank the most of the stadiums in a state
@Pablo Escobar make me

I like your idea
You should do a stadium by state series where you rank the most of the stadiums in a state
@@evanoliva9173 you botch oss nogga
Can you do the best minor league stadiums
YES
Regions field the barons play in.
I live in Ogden, Utah hometown of the Ogden Raptors (and we also have a long history of Minor Legaue Baseball here) and a lot of people Lindquist Field is one of the greatest ballparks in America
Ripken Stadium, Coca Cola Park, Isotopes Park
Joe Riley Park
Home of the Charleston Riverdogs

Yeah I live in Bakersfield and that place was a dump and still a dump
7:02 *Jessica*
bobby jenkins its not a dump i love going there everytime
Was expecting Fresno to be on the list
bobby jenkins it used to be fun to be at
I am an architect who works on sports facilities.I love your stadium videos series because they provide good, critical view of these facilities.Keep it up!
Thanks man. I’m glad architects aren’t horrified by my commentary lol
As a Richmond Native, I was so happy to see the dump that is the Diamond featured right from the start!
Keith Kilpatrick Yeah it’s pretty crappy stadium itself but I’ve had a lot of fun their I’ll say that. The upper deck seats are absolutely horrid.
Hell its good enough for vcu
Oh, that the stadium I see it all the time headed to New York. Its pass downtown. I thought it University of Virginia stadium.
Still in better shape than the Coliseum was.
they need to do better with renovations and upkeep, It's a nice layout to watch a game in and the field is well-kept, plus it's easy to get in and out of.
The coliseum is still worse than all these stadiums though
RIP Oakland As
Ironically, the A's were forced to play in Cashman when the Coliseum was renovated to become the sh*thole it is now.
You can thank the raiders and Alameda County
Completely false anyone who actually goes there can tell you it's a great place to watch a game. Cheap, easy to get to, 2nd deck not pushed into the atmosphere by luxury boxes, most underrated stadium in the big leagues.
@@southtext3400 totally agree. I used to be a snobby Giants fan, but for the past 5 years I've been an A's fan. Aside from Mt. Davis, the Coliseum is actually a decent stadium, especially the club level.
@@southtext3400 I mean for baseball it looks good, but for football... 🤔🤔🤔
Toledo mud hens old stadium “ned skeldon” stadium was a converted horse racing track, and the players had to walk between the fans walkway area to get to the lockers... prett shitty for a triple-A stadium... but was awesome for autographs lol
My sister and I are stadium-hoppers ,that visit stadiums around the country. I agree with most of these assessments, but I have to disagree about Daytona, which we visited while on a trip to F,orida. THe river's too salty (close to the ocean) and moves too much to attract mosquitoes. The odd architecture looks weird from above but once you are IN the stadium it works really well and you get a closer more intimate view of the game and interactions with the players before and after. The views are STUNNING. Ospreys routinely fly over as do herons. The wind blows from the sea and takes care of the heat. Night games are lovely. Food is good. Staff are hugely hospitable. It's very nice overall compared to some.
Thank you for satisfying my stadium and arena fetish regularly.
Mine too!
I thought I was the only one

As a Las Vegan Cashman may have been a shithole, but it was our shithole! Also the team isn't really gone its moved to Las Vegas Ballpark across town
SolracCAP Didn’t the Mets move Triple A to Syracuse?
@@johnnyracioppi well the Mets bought the Syracuse Chiefs and ended their affiliation with the Nationals. So yes. Now the Chiefs are called the Syracuse Mets, which upset many people when the news hit.
I believe they are now the affiliate of the Oakland A's.
The Las Vegas Lights FC of the USLC moved into Cashman
Everything is hot in the summer out here. The grassy area was great for the kids, food & parking was reasonable. Yes it was old but I remember The Oakland Colesium being much more run down. Now we have a new stadium to sweat in.
Municipal stadium for the Hagerstown Suns. Built in 1930, the oldest minor league stadium. It is truly terrible. Definitely the worst stadium in my books
Wasn’t that the stadium for the Cleveland browns and cleveland Indians
Rickwood field in Birmingham Alabama is the oldest baseball stadium in The US
It was built in 1910 .
Three stadiums that should definitely be on the best list are Huntington Park in Columbus, Ohio, Classic Park in Eastlake, Ohio, & Fifth Third Field in Toledo, Ohio. All of them are great ballparks with many unique features.
why is every one in ohio...
The Campbell stadium is like that one stadium in MLB the Show that’s a minor league park
And they tore it down. Went over the bridge two days ago and it's flattened, but the field is still there.
Blue River Stadium! I'm trying to see if they are any other stadiums from the game that are inspired from real life stadiums
@@steveross6760 Is it really ????? I didn't know that and i live in Fishtown .... lol
I grew up in and around Camden and went to a lot of riversharks games. Always thought the same thing!
It was a really nice park at one time.......unfortunately the land was worth more than what was on it........
As someone who lives in Vegas… Cashman Field is old and worn out from its glory days. It’s still cool to go watch a ballgame or two there, even though the 51s moved out. They host soccer games now. I can’t deny that it’s old and sucks lol
@Benny Bolin I used to live in Las Vegas and went to a bunch of Stars and 51s games as a kid and once in the times I’ve been back to visit family there. I definitely remember the games being fun and every one I went to was a close one, although often times I lost sight of the ball when it was hit. I also remember not just the concessions but the bathrooms were rather trashy. Definitely hope their new ballpark is a much better venue!
Also are they still called the 51s or did they change names again?
@@davidcopeland5450 They changed their name to the Aviators for the upcoming season and are moving into a brand new ballpark out in Summerlin.
@Will Black hmmm a fitting name change I’d say, and oooo my old neck of the woods
Gonna miss cashman. Those of us on the east side are sad. Between traffic and time, we’re sol.
@@wood82000 Cashman's still there, for soccer that is.
I’ve been to the San Jose stadium multiple times and u missed the fact that there is a parking lot right behind the fence with not much blocking homers from hitting cars😂
The ballpark is old, being a WPA project that first opened in 1942. But it still has the minor league "charm", including watching future Giants play, and decent food, like "Turkey Mike's" BBQ.
@@selfdo bro this park is awesome I love going there. Only bad thing is parking on a damn good field lol
@@selfdo golf
and when someone hits it over the netting and out into the parking lot the "windows breaking" sound effect is played 😂
Has your car or someone elses car been hit while you are at a game
Living in Las Vegas and having been to a number of games at Cashman Field, I completely agree with its #1 spot on this list. A couple of amenities that were left out were that the batting cage was literally in the parking lot, and the home and visiting teams shared a clubhouse. I also work for the Nevada prison system, so I can also confirm that the park had all the ambiance of my workplace. The park was also notable for game day atmosphere, highlighted by the homeless camps that you had to drive to in order to get there. You also had to climb a massive hill to get to your car after the game.
One minor correction: The team did not leave town. After years of having major league affiliates leave town and being last choice among AAA cities because the ballpark sucked, the city finally replaced Cashman Field with a new ballpark in the Summerlin area, home of the Las Vegas Aviators of the Pacific Coast League.
ive been to countless games there and never thought it was that bad
Correction for 7:06 - The Camden Riversharks were not a Class-A team. They were in another league (Atlantic League of Professional Baseball) altogether. Class-A is an MiLB thing.
Source: I live in the state and have gone to that stadium.
I Live next to that state and Have never heard of it
Damn shame what happened
Bro I never did realize how bad the P-Nats stadium was until now
At the Daytona tortugas game last night they gave out 6/9 shirts with #nice on the back
The Riversharks stadium was beautiful. I loved seeing games there. I will mis the ballpark.
In defense of Elizabethton’s stadium, it is a high school field first. So are a few of the Appalachian league fields.
I went to many 51s games at cashman growing up, and you'd be hard pressed to see more than 1 hr a game. The outfield walls were way too tall, and the center field wall was incredibly far. But despite being absolute garbage, it was still the host to many of my favorite early baseball memories. That being said, the new stadium is 100 times better.
What's really sad about Camden is that it has been heavily redeveloped. A friend of mine was trying to find an apartment there, and there's a two-year waiting list as the place has become desirable.
I’ve played on the Elizabethton twins field and I remembered it sucking bad. The grass was always dead and had tons of rock in the out field.
Knew the Diamond was gonna be on here, unfortunately it’s also the best thing richmond has, oooof
I would say the race track but Indy refuses to race there because the races were boring the two times they came
@Jason Hill It was da bomb when it opened. Worth pointing out that when it was built.....no public funds were used. Richmond wasnt on the hook for many years of financing. The group that spearheaded this project should be thanked for what they did and not sucking taxpayer money up to pay for it. It is disheartening that this can't be done again. BTW....the Shockoe proposal was insane....only supported by the restaurants/bars down there. Building a stadium in an urban area with only 2 lane surface streets would have been a disaster. Just my 2 cents.....
Hey I no my team sucks and the closest MLB teams are the o's and nats but at least they um, um, ok they suck
Richmond always is at the top of the league in attendance and they consistently outdraw AAA Gwinnett, the Braves affiliate that left
Would love to see you critique the CFL stadiums when their new season comes around
Been to both SJ Muni and Robinson Park and although the stands aren't new the grandstands are very close to the infield and gives you the feel of
what minor league parks were like pre-1980's without the induced nostalgia of the places built since the early 90's.
One place you missed is the old Beehive Field in New Britain Ct. - buggy, cramped, cheaply built and the home of Mr. Cheap - Joe Buzas who made
Charlie Finley look like Santa.
I would also add Pohlman Field in Beloit, WI.
When I went there for a game last summer, the scoreboard wasn’t working correctly and one of the picnic tables that was part of the club seating was broken.
I requested this video. Critique every NASCAR xfinity and gander outdoors racetracks like road America, mid Ohio
That would be dope I grew up only forty minutes away from Road America
Expand it, do best and worst NASCAR sanctioned tracks.
Ooh I know a bad minor league team
The Helena Brewers
HobbesB dude I’m a Raptors fan and I have to say nice burn also those don’t exist anymore they are now the Rocky Mountain Vibes
Gaming Guru579 ngl, but I don’t get any baseball related vibes when I think about Rocky Mountains
Kayman234 I know right they’re named that because they moved moved to Colorado Springs
I love these stadium/logo/etc critique videos; that premise and your humor mix great.
I'm in Korea. When I lived in Pohang, we had a baseball stadium, but no team. When Daegu would play against Busan, they'd have the game in Pohang. Daegu is about 1 hr east and used to be the capital of the province and Busan is 2hrs south and is the biggest city in the old, Uber-province (now split into North and South).
Since, they had no team, they didn't bother with stuff like food stands. It was different being at a game in a pro league where you could call out for food deliveries to come to the stadium.
And different how people in Korea and Japan will clap less than they just bring tube shaped balloons that they smack together all the time.
Best minor league baseball ballparks?
Best college basketball arenas?
Best AHL rinks?
I’ve been to Jackie Robinson field and it is actually pretty nice
Yeah..it was a great experience for me
Yeah it really doesn't look bad
The guy doing this video is clueless. Jackie Robinson Park is probably the best place I have seen a game.
@@robertfain4331 all these stadiums are suggested by his subscribers my man
san jose ballpark is actually quite nice. under the stands has a bunch of concessions and games for kids and theres lots of parking and i have some profound childhood memories in that lazy cement compound :')
I remember going to Pfitzner Stadium back when it was the Prince William Cannons. It was the worse baseball experience of my life.
So the Potomac Nationals are moving to Fredericksburg next year. Just thought you would like to know.
They were originally going get their own nickname after they moved but the success of the Washington Nationals made them keep the current name.
rockvilleraven at least my team didn’t try to keep another team from moving too close.
And the FredNats new ballpark is quite nice. Unfortunately, stuck in the end of a big shopping mall district, about two miles from I-95.
@@syketherocker what do you know? I’ve only seen if from the outside.
Likewise. And the place was locked down when the wife and I got there. But it looked quite nice, other than that long stretch off of Route 3 thru what appears to be a high traffic district. Hoping the FredNats and Flying Squirrels play their home stands on alternate weekends, as I’ve got season tickets for the latter.
For your best minor league ballparks, I suggest Principal Park, home of the Iowa Cubs. Built in 1992 and renovated in 2006, it's widely considered to have one of, if not the best playing surfaces in minor league baseball. It's always a really friendly and welcoming environment, and has a great view of the confluence of the Des Moines and Raccoon Rivers
Should have listed Joe Davis Stadium in Huntsville, Alabama. Named for a former Huntsville mayor, "The Joe" was fairly much a dump from the day it opened in 1985. Built to minimum standards, in it's first season the field had bad drainage and was - literally - a swamp; outfielders splashed up water running to catch a fly and ground balls came to a screeching halt once leaving the infield. (In one game some of the players of the Huntsville Stars came out in protest wearing ski vests, water wings, and toy floats.)
The field drainage problems were in time corrected, but the city and owners skimped on maintenance over the years; a situation that intensified when the Stars were sold to a New York real-estate mogul who never even visited Huntsville. At one point, at least 20% of the seats were damaged; the seats were eventually replaced. The Stars in the end moved to Biloxi, Mississippi and Joe Davis was closed. The Southern League informed Huntsville that if they wanted another Double A team a new stadium would have to be built that met modern standards; simply renovating Joe Davis Stadium was out of the question.
In due course, a new stadium, sponsored named Toyota Stadium, was built in Madison, AL, a suburb just west of Huntsville. The new AA team was slated to begin playing in the new Toyota Stadium in April 2020. Of course, the COVID pandemic shut everything down that year. As for "The Joe," the baseball field and most of the old stands were removed and repurposed as a municipal football/soccer stadium.
Hey man I am from Bakersfield and I Can confirm Sam Lynn ballpark is one of the worst parks that I’ve ever been too. Sam Lynn is broken down, hot, dirty as all hell and of course you have no shade and must face the scorching sun during day games. (Of course our team name was the BLAZE) But it’s still the ballpark I grew up with and what really got me into baseball.
He summed up Richmond quite well. Great fan support at the games. Shitty residents blocking a new stadium elsewhere. Irritated fans. The management of the Flying Squirrels really deserves a lot of credit for generating enthusiasm for the team. I'd even be happy if they build a new stadium in the same spot. A LOT of Richmonders just want baseball. I hope we don't lose the Squirrels like we lost the Braves.
You should do the Atlantic league of Professional baseball. You mentioned the Camden river sharks played there and that was that league
love the atlantic league. they care about the fan experience.
REVOLUTIONNNNNNN!!!!!!
AC Surf 🌊
I have a lot of good memories at Greer Stadium. Looking back, it was dangerous to walk from the car to the stadium- no lights in the parking lot
I gotta mention the stadium for the Harrisburg Suns. They handed out umbrellas when I went there even though it wasn't raining. We realized what they were for during the fireworks display after the game. The fireworks shocked the local mayfly population, causing their dead bodies to fall from the sky like a plague.
You forgot to mention that Jackie Robinson Ballpark is on the National Register of Historic Places.
You actually used one of my idea.
it is possible to do college baseball stadiums?
Maybe.
@@FivePointsVids excuse me while i pass out then rewatch all the other stadium videos. who needs tv :D
I hate them but
LSU’s Alex Box and Mississippi State’s new stadium are amazing...
You had me at Chris Christie's gunt! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love these videos! Keep them going!
Aw the Riversharks one hurt, stadium hold some memories.
Can you do the Akron Rubberducks stadium (i believe its called canal park) for the best minor league baseball stadiums
Joshua Sanders I go there all the time that place is great
I used to live near Canal Park and miss it a LOT, now I live near Classic Park in Eastlake, and it's just blah
I work there, best job I've ever had
@@luketrese7525 i used to work there too
Joshua Sanders was just there on Friday
Your channel is blowing up man good stuff! Anyways think you can do a worst soccer stadiums in the USA? Currently have something like 60 teams up between division 1 (MLS) and 3 (USLPro1) total but even more after that. It be interesting to see who got some of the worst housing situation around
It should be noted that Herschel Greer Stadium and Cashman Field have been replaced by newer stadiums for their respective AAA-clubs; both clubs are doing well in their new venues.
Video Idea: Ranking all NHL Practice facilities maybe?
Konnor McMaster count it lol
I'm certain the Golden Knights will be up near the top of the list. With a top-notch restaurant that splits the two rinks, City National Arena is one fine practice facility...and hosts the UNLV Rebels hockey club as well (love seeing UNLV grow from those games with only 5 rows of wooden bleachers on Flamingo Road..to now a full grown arena in Summerlin!).
Now you have got to do the best minor league stadiums
Richmond Flying Squirrels season ticket holder here. Boy did you call it on The Diamond, and you were way too kind regarding the city's screwing up building a replacement. We're under the gun again now, because with Major League Baseball's taking over the farm systems, it's been strongly hinted that we've got about four season to come up with something better, or the Flying Squirrels are going to have to move somewhere else to keep their MLB affiliation. And no, they don't want to leave.
Was a frequent visitor to Cashman Field. The fans and the gameday experience, including the weird PA Announcer, made it very enjoyable. However, the stadium did not fit the caliber of a city like Las Vegas. The new one in Summerlin is what this organization deserves!
For your best list you should do McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket
Very Spursy unfortunately they’re moving to Worcester in 2021
It should also have Chuchansi Park
NBT Bank Stadium
The Diamond is actually a good stadium and I know because I have been their multiple times!!
Funny thing about Campbell’s Field. It’s demolition left Rutgers Camden’s Baseball team without a field so they play their entire season on the Road
I can go further on Cashman Field... There was no plumbing in the umpires room...for the press area...nor in the visitor's locker room... These things were discovered while I was umpiring a midnight rec league that followed a few hours after the games ended...
What the hell are the Red Sox doing right know 1-5 💩
Same with the Yankees. I think were living in a bizzaro world.
They are losing a lot of game
The Rays are winning though
Tyler Gantert I’m a Rays fan and I’m happy right now. With that being said, we’re still in the first weeks of the season so I expect things will level out. I could be wrong tho
I'm a Yankee fan and feel bad for the Red Sox opening the season on the West Coast. What's up with that? At least they get it out of the way!
A couple of the best minor league stadiums: Coolray Field, Gwinnett Georgia, First Tennessee Park, Nashville, Tennessee, and Autozone, Park, Memphis Tennessee.Hammonds Field, Springfield, Missouri, GCS Ballpark, Sauget, Illinois, and Champions Field,Indianapolis, Indiana.
NBT Bank Stadium: Syracuse, NY
Frontier Field: Rochester, NY
Day Air Ballpark: Dayton, OH
Congratulations! Extraordinarily creative. A great way to spend a few minutes. Also love the idea of having a corporate sponsor. Good luck.
Thanks Tom!
If I had seen the suggestions when they were open, I would’ve said Pohlman Field in Beloit. Basically a city park with extra seats, but hey, the beer selection is good!
Best minor league stadium: Dow Diamond
My favorite is Dell Diamond park in Round Rock, TX.
Parkview field in Fort Wayne is nice. Along with victory field in indy
Can you roast AHL teams
I clicked on this video just knowing that Cashman was going to be on here. From plumming issues in the locker rooms, to no on-sight fitness area for the players, Cashman has ran it's course. Gotta admit though that I LOOOOVED going to Thursday night Dollar Beer Nights.. 😄🍻
The Aviators new home at Las Vegas Ballpark up in Summerlin is LEGIT. 💯 Attended the third ever game there and was welcomed to an incredible atmosphere! With a pool out in right center field, and an enormous scoreboard butted up against City National Arena (Vegas Golden Knights practice facility...another gem), LVB is the blueprint for what all minor league ballparks are now striving for.
As a fellow Northern Virginian and Prince William County resident, thank you for including the P-Nats stadium. That place is a terrible park that is offset by a fun team. They could have built a new stadium a few years ago. PWC just has this weird fetish of cramming housing developments in every nook and cranny possible.
For the best, go to Canada and do Re-Max Field in Edmonton
Ryan McManners is that the one that used to be Telus field?
College hockey arenas!
There is a ballpark in Macon, GA. It was abandoned for a while. There were old braves stuff all over that place, but now the “Macon Bacon” play there. If you find extensive information of this I will be very interested.
The replacement for Cashman field is very very nice
Time for the best minor leagues stadiums fightin Phils should be on there because we got a pool in right
I’ve been to a Potomac nationals game and to a flying squirrels game in Virginia
Dang Mang did you leave one the top of the 7th because they were getting blown out so bad
Hi actually,yeah😂😂
Greer stadium was just torn down. The Sounds now have a beautiful stadium with a great view of the city, mini golf, an outdoor bar and really great food!
Definitely surprised McCoy (PawSox) isn't on here. They will be moving to Worcester soon, though
The one minor league field in Williamsport, PA. Is pretty nice
historic Bowman Field...much improved. A good place to watch baseball. love the traditionalist vibe there.
Do AAF stadiums, oh wait..
pattypyt _ He did mention the Bounce house, where the Apollo’s played, who would’ve probably won the championship if it wasn’t for the demise of the league
The league may have folded, but the venues are still there.
VegasMarc725 Of course
Ok so I wouldn't say that the ballpark ITSELF is bad, but, the ballpark where the Kane County Cougars play in Aurora does have one HORRID feature: the majority of the stadium parking is A MILLION GODDAMN MILES from the park. On a nice day this is [barely] bearable, but if it's hot, or rainy, or buggy, GAWD DAYUM it sucks.
Luckily for the Las Vegas team they're moving into a new park this year. I have fond memories of Cashman because I grew up going there and worked there but it was bad.
Wasn't in a good part of town either and the field was generally pretty rough.
Jackie Robinson is great! It's assigned seating and GA for the grandstands/bleachers respectively
With Campbell's Field, the neighborhood really killed it. It was s such a nice ballpark, especially the bridge beyond the outfield
I used to go to Municipal Stadium in Hagerstown yearly from 1980 to the mid nineties! It was old and dated but enjoyed the park and had a good time whenever I was there. It's is a real throwback!
For best stadiums in the minors i highly recommend SRP Park in augusta for the augusta green jackets. brand new stadium that sits right on the riverfront. love your videos man!
Do the worst arena football stadiums. If you do it, Richmond Red Raiders, The Richmond’s Coliseum is an absolute trash can
Absolute Bangerz
Richmond doesn’t even have an arena team after the RoughRiders moved to West Virginia. Also, didn’t the city finally close that dump for good?
Its being torn down finally.
Baltimore Arena isn't much better. Your team is NAL mine, the Brigade, is AFL
You mentioned Hagerstown but you didn’t mention their stadium?! Oh god that place is older than dirt and is held up with toothpicks and dip spit.
Jackie Robinson Ballpark isn’t too bad. Their night games start at 7 and are quite cool with the breeze by the beach. No mosquito issues and this just had a big revamp of the playing field. The Tortugas owner is doing a lot of great things in Daytona
Thats awesome
I grew up near the San Jose stadium and went to games as a kid. Absolutely get why it would be here since the stadium is really old and the views aren't always the best, but my experiences there have always been good overall, especially the evening games. Best part is being super close to the field no matter where you are sitting. So getting to see top prospects like Joey Bart up close makes the experience great.
Can you do ECHL and other minor league hockey teams stadiums
Lmao I live in Bakersfield and the stadium IS crap😂😂😭
It’s used to be awesome why did they get rid of the visitors seating that still baffles me
+Five Points Vids The Last stadium in the video was now being used for the Las Vegas Lights FC of USL Championship. The square field is perfect to fit a soccer field meaning Cashman Field can be renovated to a soccer-specific stadium similar to Providence Park in Portland.
How cool that both the stadiums in the cities I used to live in: Jackie Robinson Ballpark in Daytona Beach (where I Grew Up) and the Diamond in Richmond (where I currently Live) made the list! They might be crappy...But still charming in their own way!
Jesus Saves✝️✝️✝️✝️🥰🥰❤️Love God
While the Diamond in Richmond, VA made the list, I do find it cool they designed the grandstand to look like the seating in Fulton County Stadium. It kind of shows how dated the stadium is, though.
Edibles are legal in all Canada...…. you can have a fun time up here...… hey you could of used the abandon minor league stadium in Ottawa in this. It may be a nice ballpark but its location is meh and its rarely used. Huge drop off considering it used to house MLB minor league teams. I personally wish Hanlon Point Stadium was still standing on the Toronto islands. Huge site from Torontos minor league days plus its where Babe Ruth hit his first professional homerun against the Toronto Maple Leafs when he was in the minors before he made the Red Sox !! Love your vids keep it up bro, Your appreciated in the great white north !!!
The Camden Riversharks had good attendence considering that they were in the Atlantic league and across the river from the Phillies. They were averaging around 3,500 fans with above 4,000 for the first few years. That is about what the Blue Rocks were doing before covid. The area they were in is a popular destination, it really isn't what you think of when you hear Camden. The only reason the stadium was destroyed is because of George Norcross, he wanted the land. The county jacked up lease payments to force out the team. And it was replaced with a smaller college baseball stadium.
The irony of your Bryce Harper choosing Hagerstown comment is that Hagerstown's field has an unlevel area in left foul territory.
Suggestion for your "best of MiLB" list, ONEOK Field, home of the Texas League (AA Division) Tulsa Drillers in Tulsa, OK. I also nominate their old stadium, Drillers Stadium for the worst list. That place was pretty bad
I used to walk to Cannons games at Pfitzner when I lived in Dale City. It was a dump back then too. Now I live in Richmond and get to go to games at the Diamond. Moving on up. Hey, at least the Scott’s Addition breweries are close by.
love that you showed TWO pics of the diamond in the intro. you're not wrong but it's still funny.
