Stadium Reviews

Palisades Credit Union Park is one of the nicer ballparks you’ll come across in your ballpark travels. Unfortunately, its location serves to keep it a hidden secret to many baseball fans. If this ballpark was located in a downtown area, it may be listed among the best in all of independent baseball.

Since joining the league, the Gol’Diggers have found quick success, capturing back-to-back league championships in 2023 and 2024.

The Yankees take a traditional approach to the game presentation; they are one of the few MLB teams without an in-game host, allowing the action on the field to be the primary focus.

Synovus Park blends the charm of a historic stadium with modern amenities. The original design of the grandstand and roof remain largely untouched, preserving its nostalgic appeal.

The Raptors offer a great atmosphere for minor league baseball, with lots of the traditional bells and whistles fans have come to expect.

The Driller organization creates a gameday atmosphere that is fun and interactive. With exciting music playing when the gates open and staff members, plus Hornsby the mascot, posted near the gate to greet patrons.

The Raleigh Red Oaks have made their quaint home at Optimist Park. A visit here is a chance to see a baseball game in a scenic, bucolic, and unique setting at an affordable price. While it may not be as fancy as many other ballparks in the area, Optimist Park is still a great place to spend a warm summer's night watching some baseball.

Even though The Joe was a victim of Minor League Baseball’s downsizing, it remains a solid facility, and an excellent addition to the growing Frontier League. Here’s hoping that Capital District baseball fans realize that the ValleyCats remain as entertaining as ever, and that the baseball played on the field might actually be better than what they saw in their affiliated days.

From the moment you arrive at Trustmark Park – now proudly known as “The Swamp” – it’s clear the stadium has fully embraced its new identity.

Coors Field is a clean and classic ballpark that provides a summer atmosphere that is perfectly in line with Colorado.

The sound of any mascot giving away a t-shirt at a "School Day" event in a full ballpark.

A Hickory Crawdads game may be small town baseball in a remote location, but it is still a worthwhile experience. L.P. Frans Stadium is gorgeous architecturally, and the Crawdads do a good job with promotions and fan engagement. It is disappointing they do not draw bigger crowds, but given its location, there may be little they can do about that.

The Frisco Classic, managed by PEAK Events, is a pre-season NCAA Division I baseball tournament featuring top collegiate teams from around the country.

Professional baseball has deep roots in Knoxville, dating back to 1897 with the Knoxville Indians of the Southeastern League.

Affiliated baseball has returned to Spartanburg; Hub City rejoins the South Atlantic League as the High-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers.

Riddle-Pace Field’s brick exterior and glass rotunda complement nearby Trojan Arena and the student recreation center perfectly, really giving the baseball stadium a classy appearance.

Billy Grant Field has an open design. Surrounded by brick pillars and iron fencing, fans enter through a brick archway into grounds decorated with flowers and shade trees.

There is not a lot to Bulldog Field, a rather modest facility. There are no exterior gates, no press box, and no permanent concessions – just a pair of bleachers set atop a small hill behind home plate.

Baseball at Emory has roots stretching back to the early 1900s, though the program went dormant for a period before returning in 1991.

Wesley Barrow Stadium is a beautiful and imposing structure built from steel, granite, and cinderblock that still retains its original look.
