"Ballparks should be happy places." -- Bill Veeck

Recent Visits

Al Lang Field, Tampa Bay Rays
St. Pete's Al Lang Field has been in the news a lot lately, but for the wrong reasons: the Tampa Bay Rays will train there one last time in 2008 before shifting spring operations to Charlotte County in 2009, and the old ballpark is slated to be torn down to make way for a new waterfront home of the Rays. Now, Al Lang Field isn't the same venue it was in the 1940s and 1950s when it was a landmark in spring training, but it's still a great place to catch a spring-training game. We hope the Rays catch the spirit of the original Al Lang in their designs for a new ballpark, For the rest of us, a trip to Al Lang Field will be a mandatory event in Spring Training 2008.

Trustmark Park, Mississippi Braves
There's nothing wrong with Trustmark Park, the home of the Mississippi Braves (Class AA; Southern League). The wraparound concourse, luxury boxes, big scoreboard and varied concessions are all standard issue for a new minor-league ballpark these days. So why aren't we more excited about the two-year-old ballpark? Because there's nothing unique about it: except for a few Southern menu items at the concessions, there's nothing to link the ballpark to its surroundings. At a Mississippi Braves game, you could be watching a game anywhere -- and going local is one of the great joys of the minor leagues. Dustin Mattison reports.

Alliance Bank Stadium, Syracuse Chiefs
The biggest news at Alliance Bank Stadium, the home of the Syracuse Chiefs (Class AAA; International League): the current artificial turf will be replaced by real grass. That's good news for Syracuse baseball fans in terms of aesthetics, as well as players who need to field on an old, sometimes unpredictable surface. Otherwise, Alliance Bank Stadium is a perfectly serviceable ballpark: the Chiefs front office does things the old-fashioned way (i.e., not much in terms of between-innings shenanigans), but the ballpark is a comfortable place to watch a game, and the food is pretty good. Steve Kapsinow reports.
