Take me out to the ballgame...!

Greg finally got to play softball today and the fields he played on were not your average fields. He played at 'Big League of Dreams', a sports park containing multiple baseball fields that are scaled down replicas of major league baseball stadiums. There are also batting cages, restaurants, and an indoor soccer arena. I read that the entire complex cost $36 million to build.

Here's an aerial picture I copied of what the complex looks like from above. If you look at the center, where the fields all meet, that is a polygon shaped restaurant/snack bar that has huge glass windows overlooking each one of the 4 fields. You can literally watch your teams game from inside the restaurant. I really thought this was brilliant.


Each field has the same features, such as the seating behind home is stadium seating and the back walls all have cheesy people boards so it looks like there are 'people in the stands'.

Nathan in action...he's a cutie, patooty.
