When I first saw the exterior of Historic Yale Field, my breath was taken away. When I got inside, however, things looked very different. The concourse was poorly lit and very crowded. I could only find one restroom, but hey what can we expect from a place that opened in 1927. When I got to my seats, again everything looked different. Our seats were located down the 3rd base line (not a good place to be for a 5:35 start). The sun was in our eyes for about an hour. The seats stretch from one end of the seating bowl to the other with bleachers located down the left and right field lines. There is another section of bleachers just beyond the RF fence. The seats themselves range from "box" to reserved to aluminum bleacher type seats. The very last row of seats are wooden and could be the original seating from way back when.
Stadium Rating : B+
2004 update : The Ravens have left Yale Field for New Hampshire.
The park is now home to the New Haven County Cutters of the Indy Can-Am league.
