Yeah, it is spelled like that. "Ironpigs". This is the new AAA league baseball team that has made it's way to the Allentown area. I had the privilidge of going to a game this evening with really good seats. We sat in the 109 section and boy was it a great view. You could see the players clear as day, you could here the crack of the bat, and you could hear how hard the ball hit the catcher's glove.
My first impressions of the stadium were fantastic. The first thing I notied about the stadium was that it was very clean. This is a really nice stadium. Things are swept, surfaces are clean, heck the food smells good and it isn't greasy. The burger tasted home grilled, and the fries didn't have a hint of grease (thats GOOD). Prices were expensive, but hey themeparks and stadiums have a lot in common- they want to make money. It was semi-busy, but that didn't detract from the experience.
The atmosphere was great and the audience was a lot of fun. The park is very fan friendly in that when I got up to go to the bathroom, as I entered the bathroom I could hear the game being broadcast, so really I didn't miss too much. You can also rent out areas for picnic, as well as sit on the sloped lawn in the back. The stadium felt small to me, but not packed or uncomfortable. I had a very good time and I enjoyed myself. This is the first season here for the Ironpigs, and although I am not into baseball that much anymore it is sure great to watch a game once in a while.
I also found the mascot's name "Ferrous" to be amusing.
