The Great Lakes Loons play at Dow Diamond in Midland, Michigan. In Midland most things are called Dow, since it is the home to the Dow Chemical company. The team itself is only a few years old as it is the old Battle Creek team in the Midwest League.
It is a very nice stadium, with many fan friendly parts. Two parts that I dont like are, paying for parking (4.00) plus having to park in their big lot behind the stadium. Plus I dont like having to climb stairs to get into the park.
The park itself has stadium seats from just beyond the dugouts. There is a picnic area down the left field line. Around the outfield is a lawn area that goes from foul pole to foul pole. The scoreboard is huge, it is in right center. Plus the scoreboard is powered by solar energy from panels just behind the board.
One bad thing is that they only have Budweiser products. The pulled pork sandwich is pretty good. The jumbo hot dog is also good.
It was raining the game against the West Michigan (Grand Rapids) Whitecaps that I went to.
