They have a picnic area down the LF line that is SRO, but
most people sit on the picnic tables and watch the game. The day I was there the Ducks
set a record for attendance at the new yard, 6116. Will the people continue to come out ?
Or will the novalty wear off ? The one thing I was surprised at was the free parking.
I don't know if this trend will continue, but if it does these stadiums will become the
cookie cutters of the 90's and beyond.
Stadium Rating : B-
2002 Update - EAB Park was renamed Citibank Park when Citibank bought EAB Bank.
