Home of the Richmond Roosters of the (Independent) Frontier
League. Truly representative of minor league baseball of
yesteryear. Has somewhat of a rural flavor. One of the most
colorful parks of the midwest.
V.A. Memorial Field--Chillicothe Paints
The Chillicothe Paints (actually named after a type of horse rather than
something that you use on your house) play here. The stadium itself is
built on the grounds of the local area hospital. The exterior of the
ballpark is light red brick.
Oldsmobile Park--Lansing, Michigan
The very popular Lansing Lugnuts (Midwest League) reside here.
Capacity 10,000. Built right in the heart of Lansing, this park
is representative of many of the newer minor league structures.
Stanley Coveleski Regional Stadium--South Bend,
Indiana
Home of the South Bend Silver Hawks (Midwest League). Capacity:
5,000. Sits next to an former auto plant where a car known as the
Silver Hawk was assembled. Stadium is rather modern and
symetrical. However, because of the urban setting, the park has
more of an urban/retro feel to it.
Cardinal Stadium--Louisville, Kentucky
Louisville Redbirds (American Association) used to share stadium
with the University of Louisville Cardinals football team.
Capacity: 33,500. One of the largest minor league stadiums in all
of professional baseball. Built next to the Kentucky State
Fairgrounds. Has a very colorful concourse, always feels like you
are at the fair. Artificial turf playing surface.
Everett Memorial Stadium--Everett, Washington
Home of the Everett Aquasox (Mariners Afilliate) of the (Class A)
Northwest League. Capacity: 2,285. Everett is about a 45 minute
drive northeast from Seattle. Extremely cold and wet during many
summertime games.
