Parking:

  • 2 Large dirt lots - $4

Atmosphere/Character:

  • "Classic" sounding Public Address announcer
  • On-Field Entertainment was run by an older man, called L.I. Sounder. He wore a captain's hat, as if he were captain of the "ship". He was much better than the younger (intern type) on-field entertainers. He wasn't obnoxiously excited.
  • Fans were into the game
  • Ads between each pitch, which are read by the P.A. announcer are distracting

Seating/Stadium Design:

  • 3 price levels of seating: Field Box, Loge, and Reserved (General admission)
  • Train running beyond the outfield fence. (Metro-North and Amtrak)
  • Arena at Harbor Yard visible over the left field fence.
  • Large power plant beyond the right field fence, gives the stadium an "industrial" feel and also provides some character.
