Eastwood Field
Surface: Natural Grass
Capacity: 6,300
Dimensions: Left 335 ft. Centerfield 405 ft. 335 Right ft.
Stadium Opened:
Food: 
- Basic ballpark food
Parking:
- Parking was $2.50, paved lot
- Since the park is located in a mall parking lot, the Scrappers charge a "walk-in" fee (#2.50 per person) as a way to discourage fans from parking in the mall lot for free and then walking to the park. I think in order to not have to worry about this problem, parking should just be free. Raise ticket prices if you need to, but a "walk-in" turnstile just seems like you are trying to get every penny they can out of fans.
Seating/Stadium Design:
- Similar design to Dutchess Stadium and Skylands Park.
- Picnic Area
- General Admission Section (Bleachers with backs)
- Blue fold down seats with cupholders
- Small team store called "The Pet Store"
- Site lines are good since the seating bowl is steep
Atmosphere/Character:
-
Mascot's name is "Scrappy"
-
Focus is on baseball
-
Too many announcements during the game. The PA Announcer welcomed a specific group to the park about 5 or 6 times, not necessary.
Recognition of Team's History and/or MLB Affiliate:
- Banners of former Scrappers Players outside the stadium
- Large Banner on the stadium in recognition of 2004 Championship
- Championship pennants on press boxes
