"Ballparks should be happy places." -- Bill Veeck

Recent Visits


Dickey-Stephens Park, Arkansas Travelers
If you're going to replace a legendary ballpark, you had best make sure the replacement is a worthy successor. In the case of Dickey-Stephens Park, the new home of the Arkansas Travelers is a worthy successor to Ray Winder Field, the team's longtime home. While Dickey-Stephens Park doesn't have many quirks or much history yet, if opening night was any indication the place will surely be full of life for decades to come. Perfectly situated on the shores of the Arkansas River with downtown Little Rock as a scenic backdrop, Dickey-Stephens Park is a community resource of the best kind. Ray Winder Field was the home of the Travs for more than 70 seasons; we'd be very surprised if future editors of Ballpark Digest didn't return to Dickey-Stephens Park in 70 years and find the place as lively as ever.


Clark-LeClair Stadium, ECU Pirates
East Carolina has the pleasure of playing at Clark-LeClair Stadium, one of the better newer facilities in college baseball. Clark-LeClair was built at a cost of $11 million -- all from private donations raised by the ECU Educational Foundation. The magnitude of the place is immediately apparent as you approach the main gate, and once inside no aspect of the facility disappoints. Jim Robins takes in a Pirates game.


Doak Field at Dail Park, NC State Wolfpack
It is always a fine thing when a college ballpark fits in just right with the scale and expectations of the baseball program it serves. This is particularly true when you look at Doak Field serving as home to the NC State Wolfpack. Most years, NC State features a handful of potential major leaguers on squads with an expectation to reach the NCAA Tournament (four straight years, 7 of past 10). The fit is right -- the rebuilt Doak Field at Dail Park is entirely worthy of the high-caliber Wolfpack program.
