The prefabricated stadium, similar in design to Lake Olmstead Stadium in Georgia though without the roof, made it easy to install. A recent site visitor tells me that the Nuts a new name following the end of the teams affiliation with the Athletics after 30 years, paying homage to the almond groves of the area added a new video board for the 2007 season.
I thought the old structure was rather comfortable for watching a game, and the new one is just as comfortable. The only complaint I had was a very slow souvenir stand worker the day I visited in 2004, but that may have been an aberration.
On my 2018 trip, the video board was in evidence, but so was a $6 per vehicle parking fee. The ticket taker said that it may have been an effort to recoup revenue from declining attendance. I would think the opposite strategy might work better. I then discovered that the ownership group also owns the team in Niles, Ohio, where they charge a walk-in fee to discourage folks from parking outside the designated area.
