The Den is a little smaller than most parks due to the fact that they had to fit it into the city. It only
has one level of seats, this eliminates that useless break in the seating for people to walk.
They have alumimun bleachers down both lines that angle into the playing field. They also have
one of the nicest backdrops. On a clear day (which mine was not) one can see the New York Skyline.
I wasn't too fond of the conncessions. They were out of soft Ice Cream and there was some mold
on the Hot Dog bun. I didn't know how they were laid out either so that cost me. Had I known
the better selection was one stand down I wouldn't have gotten a Hot Dog. Riverfront is a nice
place to see a game, but the concessions kind of put me off, that and I think $4.00 is a bit much to park.
Stadium Rating: B-
