Photos from Bowling Green - Part Five

Last post...here we go (only two pictures for this one):

From the right field picnic area, another look at the Silver Hawks bullpen area.

From the back corner of the right field picnic area, the view to the stadium.

Hope you enjoyed all the photos. Lineups will be coming up in a couple of hours.

Are you ready for part four?


Inside the stadium club. I completely resent this club because it's located on the suite level directly behind home plate...where the press box actually should be.


Another look at the small grassy area in left-center field.


I took this photo fro the seats behind home plate. Notice how the net goes all the way up and anchors to the roof. If you are sitting behind the plate (or really down the lines to the end of the dugouts), you have no chance of getting a foul ball.

A little off-centered, but the view form the seats behind home.

The team store is called "The Body Shop". They are the Hot Rods because Bowling Green is where they make Corvettes. There is actually a Corvette Museum in Bowling Green.

And away we go with part three...


A view from the right field corner.


This is the kid's play area in the right field corner. Those big white blobs are actually inflatable bounce houses, etc. However, they weren't inflated yet this afternoon, and I just don't think I'll be able to get a good picture of them since I'm stuck in the radio booth when the game begins.


The Silver Hawks bullpen beyond the right field wall.


What the relievers see while they are sitting on the bench in the bullpen.


What the bullpen looks like from the warning track. Notice how it juts out onto the field, creating difficulties for the right fielder as he's going back on a ball.

Part two of our journey commences...


I was standing on the warning track when I took this picture of the outfield wall. On the far left is the wall height from center field to the left field corner. You can see how it raises up and stays a taller fence the rest of th eway around to the bullpen on the far right.


This shot is from behind a small lawn area in center field.


Just a general view from left-center.


Inside the picnic area in left field.


Behind the seats in the left field corner, after they start to angle in towards the playing field.

This is the first of what will probably be five posts of pictures. Remember, if you click on each photo, it should open up with a larger version for you.


We start with the odd location of the press box. This is my view as I look straight out from where I sit down the third base line. It sure makes calling balls and strikes awfully difficult.


Another messed up thing about the press box is that they put the table top too high, so you have to sit on a bar stool in order to see. But then they messed up the height of the bar stool, so you can't sit close enough to the table because then your legs end up scraping the underside of the table top. Therefore, you end up standing for most of the game, using the bar stool seat as a rest between innings.


Here's a view from further back in the booth, showing you how ridiculously tall the barstool is along with the table top.

A shot from the concourse down into the third base corner.

I'll say this much...they have wide concourses.
