MY TAKE ON THE PARK
LOCATED OFF THE BEATEN PATH IN HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA SITS A
HUGE STADIUM WHICH IS THE HOME OF THE DOUBLE A BREWERS, THE HUNTSVILLE STARS. ONCE THE STADIUM IS FOUND AND YOU GET PAST JUST
HOW BIG THIS PLACE IS, IT IS A PRETTY GOOD PLACE TO SEE A GAME.
IF THERE IS ONE THING I LOVE TO DO AT A BALL PARK IT
IS FIND AN EMPTY
SECTION AND JUST SPREAD OUT. WITH THE POPULARITY OF BASEBALL IN MANY TOWNS, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT
CAN EASILY BE DONE. IN HUNTSVILLE, YOU
CAN FIND A WHOLE CORNER OF THE BALL PARK AND SPREAD OUT!
IT ALL STARTS AFTER YOU FIND THE PARK. A HUGE PARKING LOT AWAITS
WHERE A FRIENDLY ATTENDANT WILL TAKE YOUR $4 AND SEND YOU INTO AN OCEAN OF PARKING. UPON ENTERING THE STADIUM, A DARK CORRIDOR
AWAITS WHERE THERE IS A SMALL SOUVENIR SHOP AND CONCESSION STANDS. CONCESSION STANDS THAT
HAVE A HUGE SELECTION AND PRETTY
CHEAP PRICES.
ONCE INTO THE SEATING AREA, THE STANDS EXTEND ALL THE WAY AROUND TO BEYOND LEFT FIELD. ON THE RIGHT FIELD
SIDE THEY GO PAST THE DUGOUT INTO SHORT RIGHT WHERE A PICNIC AREA SITS. THE SEATING IS SPACIOUS AND
PLENTIFUL. THE SEATING
AREA AROUND THE INFIELD ARE CHAIRS AND BENCHES EXTEND TO THE OUTFIELD.
THE BEST PART OF GOING TO A GAME IN HUNTSVILLE IS BELIEVE IT
OR NOT, THE GAME. THE GAME IS JUST AN ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE HERE. BETWEEN INNINGS THERE ARE PROMOTIONS, BUT THEY ARE NOT IN
YOUR FACE AND OUT OF CONTROL.
EVEN BETTER, THE MUSIC PLAYED AT THE STADIUM IS PLAYED AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN HEAR IT BUT
ALSO TALK TO THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU. AND, THE GAME PROGRAM YOU GET HERE IS $2 AND FULL OF INFORMATION.
A TRIP TO HUNTSVILLE
WAS TO ME AN UNEXPECTED SURPRISE. THE LOCATION OF THE STADIUM AND EXTERIOR GAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT THIS WASN'T GOING TO
BE
THAT GREAT OF AN EXPERIENCE. ONCE I WAS SEATED AND THE GAME BEGAN, I DIDN'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF THAT AND ENJOYED THE GAME. THEY
DO A GREAT JOB IN HUNTSVILLE, THE FOOD, THE GAME , AND THE PROGRAM. ALL DONE VERY WELL
IN NORTHERN ALABAMA.
