Clinton and Burlington both got hosed. Clinton replaced their affiliated team with a wood bat league team. Not sure about the Bees.
And yeah, it’s kinda horse-shitty.
Except for the outfield seating, it looks a little like old Victory Field in Indianapolis, home of the Indianapolis Indians.My local team is the AAA Gwinnett Stripers. It's nice enough. I usually try to get over there a few times a year or when they host the Buffalo Bisons.
There's an American Legion field within walking distance of my house that hosts a "league" of teams made up of college players home playing for the summer. Mostly low-mid level college players, but with some SEC and ACC kids mixed in. I was looking forward to taking in some games there last summer before Covid wiped out the season. Looking forward to walking down and taking in some baseball and beers a few times this summer.
This is the stadium I grew up going to watch the Buffalo Bisons, to which we had season tickets a few years. Long since torn down, but it's the stadium where they filmed The Natural. It was built in 1937, and the Bills played there as well until 1973. It was a dump, but that also meant it felt every bit of being in a ballpark built in the 1930s which was pretty special.
I got a neat book for Christmas last year called Lost Ballparks. It has not only old MLB stadiums but several minor league stadiums.

Yeah, @torbee and I are going to catch a Bandits game or two when I'm back in Iowa next month.I don’t know why kids are so afraid of Rascal the River Bandit.
Altho this version of the mascot looks like he's going to steal your McDonald's Hamburger.
that's my team right there! A buddy of mine used to get season tickets near the first base dugout and we would heckle the shit out of the other teams. Our best one was when Larry Broadway was batting the bat flew out of his hands and we started chanting "K-Y Larry!" He started laughing.Isotopes.
They did do an alternate jersey a few years ago that was solid.
In 19 I went to 8 games. We had a connection for box seats. With restrictions being lifted I will take the kids this fall.
This is what Des Moines needs to do. Might we an expensive remodel but worth it.Charlotte Knights here. Great ballpark downtown.

We had a blast at the bandits game last night. A few notes though.
they only had about half of the concessions and rides open. It made for some long lines. The drink and food options were limited too. I missed the philly cheese sandies.
they are cashless so we ended up giving the 15 kids we invited a $10 bandit bucks card for food. A number of times it wouldn’t scan so they just gave the kids the food for free.
they clearly have some bugs to work out but the staff seemed happy to be back and it was a perfect night for baseball.

He's actually an ear of peeling corn with a baseball head...
Dude. CR went 1-5 against QC after 5-1 to start the year. Especially ugly giving up a few one run losses there. Damn, Bandits! Guess its revenge for knocking you guys out in the playoffs both in 2015 and in the last season before Covid...

Wide-eyed, mouth agape like he's drooling, and rocking a mangina. Pretty creepy. But I think that's made him all the more the fixture in the psyche of the city.Why do I think this is the creepist mascot ever?

So the mascot is a humanoid figure with its face and scalp peeled down around its shoulders!?He's actually an ear of peeling corn with a baseball head...
