Had 3rd row seats in the left field corner which was at a nice pitch, very close to the field. However, my seat did NOT have a cup holder!?!? Unreal. This place was built in 89, so it has those things about it that the newer stadiums have learned not to do, i.e. Don't build stadiums that serve multiple sports. This is one of two stadiums in baseball that also doubles as a football stadium. That means the seats face directly forward, don't face home plate. On the plus side the jumbotron in center was huge and obviously new. The hook for this place is that have honest to goodness hotel rooms built into left and right field upper deck. That was very unique.
The lower deck was an open concourse, but barely, it looks like it might have been a reno at some point. All lines were long and the concourse was cramped. The only common area with a game view was a standing room only section in dead center field. Seemed awkward as we walked down there as it was kind of just a walk through, but no one was moving.
The fans were very excited about their team, but I didn't get the sense that they were serious baseball fans like I did in Detroit, More just people that were really happy to have a competitive team, which I can appreciate.
In terms of a grade, I am going to have to go back and redo all these because my opinions are changing so much based on the more stadiums I see. It's bad I would put this stadium in the lower 10, but I don't know about the lower 5. It gets a little uptick due to game day experience and location, but everything is pretty poor. C-
