SITUATED IN A VALLEY BETWEEN THE APPALACHIAN AND THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS SITS THIS 6300 SEAT STADIUM.
A SEA OF BLUE SEATS STARTS FROM BEYOND 3RD BASE ALL THE WAY OVER TO BEYOND FIRST BASE. THESE ARE ALL SEATS AND NOT BLEACHER STYLE BENCHES.
AN AMPLE PARKING LOT SITS IN FRONT OF THE PARK AND AS YOU APPROACH YOU CAN SEE THE SCOREBOARD BECAUSE THERE IS NO UPPER LEVEL SEATING BEHIND HOME PLATE. NO TURNSTILE EITHER, YOUR TICKET IS RIPPED AND YOU WALK PAST THE SCOREBOARD SALESMAN TO THE TABLE FOR YOUR OVER 21 WRISTBAND .. IF YOU WANT AN ADULT BEVERAGE, YOU'LL NEED A WRIST BAND.
AS I HAVE NOTICED WITH PARKS IN VIRGINIA, THE PEOPLE THAT WORK AT THEM COULDN'T BE NICER, SALEM IS NO EXCEPTION AND WITH THE PARK BEING SPOTLESS IT ALL MAKES FOR A REAL ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE. MY ONLY COMPLAINT OF THE PARK WAS THE FACT THAT THE OUTFIELD GRASS HAD SOME SERIOIS DEAD PATCHES IN SPOTS ... ALL OF THE GREEN AROUND AND DEAD OUTFIELD GRASS. THE REST OF THE PLACE MADE UP FOR THIS THOUGH.
SPEAKING OF THE REST OF THE PLACE, I CANNOT LEAVE OUT MUGSY ... MUGSY AND MISTY ARE THE SALEM MASCOTS ... THEY COULD POSSIBLY BE THE BEST MASCOTS IN THE MINOR LEAGUES .. THEY CERTAINLY HAVE THE BEST COSTUMES.
SCHEDULING A TRIP TO SALEM COULD BE THE BEGINNING OF A SERIOUS ROAD TRIP. SALEM COULD BE THE STARTING POINT FOR ANY MINOR LEAGUE TRIP ... WITHIN A THREE HOUR DRIVE OF SALEM ARE THE CITIES OF LYNCHBURG, KINSTON, RICHMOND, AND MANY OF THE APPALACHIAN LEAGUE PARKS.
ON YOUR WAY TO SALEM, TAKE A RIDE ON THE BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY, ROANOKE IS THE ONLY CITY ALONG THE PARKWAY, AND JUST ENJOY THE SCENERY AND TRANQUILITY .. ITS ALL THERE.
