Kyle Tait, the radio voice of the Mississippi Braves told me last year that Pensacola had done it right with their new stadium. He’s right. This is a venue like I’ve never seen before in the minor league parks I’ve visited (Huntsville, Mobile, Winston-Salem, Viera, Orlando – two of these are now defunct).
This is an attempt to share that game and that experience – lots of observations; lots of thoughts.
The Venue
Pensacola Bayfront Stadium is literally that: it sits directly on Escambia Bay in South Pensacola, with water on three sides of the property, which includes walking areas, picnic areas, a large amphitheater, beautifully landscaped grounds, and more.
