The second game of the day was in Burlington, Iowa. where they have been playing ball at the same location since 1947.
The park, well it has a nice blend of old and new. Since it was just remodled in the last decade. This team is the smallest market in pro baseball.
The office building, ticket office, souvenior store and concession stand are all in one building. The stands have four or five rows of stadium seats, with a dozen rows of bleachers behind them. The pressbox is above that, including the little roof covering over it. They have a bullpen bar out in left field.
The right field picnic area
The newest addition to the park is the playground behind first base, with new grass planted beneath it.
The hot dogs are ok, the pork tenderloin sandwich needs some spice or something as it was bland. I had to put ketchup only on it as they didnt have bbq sauce out. The Leinies Summer Shandy was good though.
I only got to see the first six innings, it was easier than the earlier game as I had some friends there to mess with. The Bees, thirdbaseman had two homers but cant throw a ball anywhere. The Bees have no pitching or defense. I had to leave early because I walked over there from the hotel and I do not want to miss my Chicago Blackhawks playoff game.
