Gorgeous ball park! Everything looks brand new …and maybe it is? My only complaint is that the sound system is SO LOUD. MY Apple Watch kept giving me excessive noise warnings, a max of 107 decibels, with anything over 90 causing temporary hearing loss. My husband and I sat with our fingers in our ears several times. I’ll take hearing protection next time.

Back to the positive side, concessions were very good, and service was helpful...
