Stadium Report Cards: Durham Bulls Athletic Park
Team: Durham Bulls
Location: Durham, NC
League: International League(South)
Built: 1995
Capacity: 10,000
My event: Regular season game, vs Indianapolis Indians
1. Outdoor Design
Just a simple brick layout, then had places like above.
7/10
2. Indoor Design
Beautiful. 2 modern office buildings located in the outfield really brought it together. But there was still other things. The "blue monster" is a tall wall in left field, then a playground, lawn seating, and a bar just made it epic.
9/10
3. Prices
It was alright. Simple seats under 10 dollars, and a discount that day for students.
8/10
4. Food
Ballpark food, ballpark food everywhere.
6/10
5. Staff
They were pretty nice. They let us roam without any objections. One offered to take My dad, and I's picture.
8/10
6. Cleanliness
It was really clean, I thought. There were trashcans, and recycling cans at every section opening.
7/10
7. Parking
We parked in a parking building behind the left field building, but if we didn't leave in the 8th getting off the third floor would be terrible.
6/10
8. AtmosphereIt really was great, I thought it was better than the Rays. The thing is, there wasn't any announcer or fun noises that got me into the whole thing. It could've been a 5!
8/10
9. Playing Surface.
See below for the surface, it was nice.
9/10
10. Scoreboard
It's there in the middle of the "blue monster" It's pretty basic, nothing special though.
6/10
I gave Durham Bulls Athletic Park a healthy 74. It was deffinatly the best park I visited on the trip. I wasn't expecting much, just because I've never been inside before. But it really was nice. I'd go if you're up there and like baseball.
