Photos from Beloit - Part Three

That's the stadium on the left. That's a neighborhood on the right. This ballpark is situated right in the middle of a residential area.


The view from behind the seating area. The press box just sort of hangs there. I'm sure it's supported well, but I was much more comfortable before I realized that there wasn't anything underneath the press box.


The field.


The view from the dugout. I'm sitting up on the back of the bench when I took this. You can't tell from this photo, but those steps are probably the steepest steps in all of Minor League Baseball.


From the right field line, a photo of the outfield and the scoreboard.

The view from down in the right field corner. Notice that the plate area for the bullpen is out in the grass, rather than on the warning track. A bit odd. Also, there is a lot of foul ground, just like at the Cove.


A picnic area in right field. This area was occupied by a Little League team last night.


Another shot from down the right field line, giving you an idea of the seating bowl.


One row of seats directly behind home plate. I guess only the richest of the rich get to sit here.


The seating area behind home plate. Again, the yellow seats must be for the rich and famous. The blue seats are like bucket seats. The bleachers have backs behind home plate, but don't down the lines.

Prince Fielder played here for a couple of seasons. He's good.


This sign apparently means nothing on the entrance to the press box. It's like a revolving door of people all night long.


This is the view from the entrance of the press box. Those are my chairs on the left side of the screen. As you can see, it's an "open" press box, meaning that there are no doors seperating the various rooms. That means everyone in the press box can hear my broadcast, and I can hear everything else that's going on. Not to sound like an unsocial jerk, but sometimes I enjoy the privacy of having my own booth.


This is the visiting radio area of the press box. I took this shot so you can see the full overhang out in front of the booth. If a high fly ball is hit, I can't see the ball. I just find the fielders that are moving around and try and figure out who is going to make the catch.


This is my normal view from the press box, as I'm sitting in my seat. It's not horrible, but again, note the overhang at the top of the picture that restricts the view.
