Ballpark review..........................

I've been to five games so have this year and here's some impressions:
1) They painted and it was way overdue; especially the letters for rows in a section and the yellow safety paint. The last time paint was applied was in 2002 ahead of the Double A All-Star.
2) The gift shop is nicer and there is still plenty of room for more goods. Good section of new Defenders merchandise.
3) The food. I don't eat a lot at games if anything, but the lines at both Nathans and the pizza stands say folks are liking it. Menu selections are very good at both and prices are OK. Big improvement.
4) They reopened the arcade after that was closed for about 3 years. Good move, kids like it and it's another source of money.
5) The video board. Super. And I know it's going to get better as the season progresses because they got to be like kids in the candy store with that thing.
6) Ads. The flat screen TV's around the concourse are always on and running ads. The TVs are nice and another source of revenue. Best ad is the UPN Yankee spot that always get a big crowd reaction.
7) The Tater statue is out by the playground and I assume that will open up when the weather is better and school is out. I hope the same is true for the Fry shack and Susasge/fry dough stand.
8) Schedules above the urinals. Let's make use of the space and sell.
Obviously there is more stuff to do. The condition of the field is the most glaring but they've hired a new groundskeeper with big league experience so hopefully that will turn around.
My big question is where are all the fans? Opening day was good but after that it's been me and a few hundred of my friends for the rest of the games. The team is off to a great start (they won again tonight in Trenton with Aaron Sisk getting a couple of hits and RBI!) and it's perplexing to say the least.
