Stadium Reviews

Minor league baseball returned to Portland, Maine in 1994 after a 44-year absence.

The Eastern League pulled a bold move siting a franchise in this city. Steeped in baseball history, a track record of success hosting independent baseball, and a strong marketing connection with the New York Yankees. It all comes together with a comfortable, if not extraordinary, baseball experience here in Somerset.

TVA Credit Union Ballpark is a charming throwback to small-town baseball. The covered grandstand, overhead fans, and towering outfield walls lined with local advertisements evoke a classic, nostalgic feel.

While the Mohegan Sun Arena is a fine facility, it seems like the rapid growth of the WNBA has rendered it obsolete. With its smaller capacity, lack of premium amenities and location far from a major city, the Sun have been put up for sale and have been searching for a new home. It seems the Sun is setting on the Mohegan Sun Arena.

Goodall Park is a throwback in the best sense, being a stadium that captures everything nostalgic about old-school ballparks while mixing in a few modern comforts.

Kino Sports Complex is a multi-use sports and cultural event center, the largest in Southern Arizona home venue of the Tucson Saguaros.

Watching the Sharks play at Legion Stadium is a solid choice for daytime, or evening, entertainment in Wilmington; the venue is well done and offers a lot of vantage points to watch from.

League Park was the original home to Major League baseball in Cleveland. Parts of the ballpark have been preserved and restored, and are now home to the Baseball Heritage Museum.

Minnesota United FC has a fabulous home in Allianz Stadium and a great fan base that supports their team.

This summer, the state of Vermont is all about the Vermont Green FC (VGFC), which plays in the USL2. In short, attending a Vermont Green FC match at Virtue Field in Burlington, Vermont is a pure joy. Their stellar color commentator, Matt Monteil, took a few moments before the team's Eastern Conference Final showdown this Friday night to answer a few questions.

For a city that had just lost its beloved AAA baseball team, the Pawtucket Red Sox, who relocated to Worcester after 50 seasons, a new professional club would not fully replace the PawSox, but it gave Pawtucket a new team to rally around.
