In the middle, in front of the press box and concession building, are three sections of blue bucket seats. Flanking this on both sides are sets of bleachers. There is a half-amphitheater feeling, as the ground rises behind the park to the first base bleachers, meaning home plate and first-base entry are from the top, while third-base entry is from ground level. Field dimensions are fairly standard, and outfield fence advertising is sparse. The view is of undeveloped land which is still mainly covered by trees.
