This is the view from the seats on the first base side. As you can see, the field is in along with the foul poles. The dimensions are the exact same as the old Stadium.

    I love the frieze weapping around the entire ballpark.Brings back a lot of great memories of the original Stadium.

    Not quite “exactly” the same… the distance from home plate to the backstop will be about 2/3 as far as in the old stadium (but more in line with what ballparks around the rest of the league are doing). That means fewer foul tips will be caught by the catcher — whoever he may be next season. It also means that fans behind home plate (at all levels) will be closer to the action.
