New facade for Cheney Stadium. |
Arriving in the infield! |
View of the outfield from the dugout -- look at the bullpens and the scoreboards |
This guy had a poster from the 6-man no-hitter game... |
...and got Stephen Pryor to sign it! |
Nick Franklin (1st round, 2009) walked by and signed for a few kids, and I had the sense to ask if I could get a photo with him |
Brian Sweeney and Luis Jimenez used to play for the Nippon Ham Fighters and I used to see them all the time in Japan. It was very cool to see them again even if only for a few minutes. |
Look, Cheney has a CONCOURSE now. |
Cheney also has Safeco-like drink and food stands, like this lemonade one. |
More food stands at Cheney. |
The "Tacoma Baseball Hall of Fame" in back of 1st base. |
There's also two upper decks with luxury boxes and beer gardens and all. |
View of the field from next to the stands on the 1st base side. |
The general admission area is this grassy area out past 1st base along the foul line. |
View of the field from behind home plate. |
The score was 4-4 when I left. I hate leaving early, but I watched 10 innings and if I stayed any longer I would have missed my flight home to SF. |
Can you believe this super-fancy team store though? |
