There's really not a whole lot I can tell you about Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium, because I've never actually been to a game there.  I was able to snap these pictures on the way between two other ballparks. 

I can, however, share a few interesting facts about the place.  The team that plays there was at one time partly owned by racecar driver Dale Earnhardt, Sr.  In fact, the current name of the team was in honor of his nickname on the racetrack, "The Intimidator".   I was actually surprised at how little this theme is played throughout the park, as I saw a NASCAR leader's board (see picture below), but that was about it.  Of course, they may do more than that at game time.  Unfotunately, Earnhardt never saw his new team play, because he came on board in November 2000 and regrettably died in the now-infamous Daytona crash the following February.  

A few other notes about the stadium itself:  The stands extend much farther on the right field side than they do on the left, and the concession/administrative structures are also a little bit more prevalent on that side.  Other than that, this looks like a fairly commonplace structure.
