Raley Field |
 |
|
During the first four years of existence, no other stadium saw more fans than Raley Field. Fans flocked not only to the new ballpark, but to a successful team. The River Cats won division titles in each of their first three years before winning the entire Pacific Coast League championship in 2003. The stadium itself is a beauty, even if its not all that original. Highlights include the view of the city, the sizable grass seating areas (for which they sell general admission tickets at a very reasonable $5 a piece), and the "see-through" bullpens. Also notable were a few special items on the concessions menu: the apple chicken sausage was especially good. I have to admit, though, that it's getting harder and harder to write about stadiums like these, because even though they are done extremely well, they are all beginning to resemble one another. The Bottom Line: Raley Field is an averagely above average stadium. It's done very well, but it's just like so many others that it's hard to consider it very far above the pack.
