ALPB is great baseball and you can get tickets for very cheap. I’ve been going to Revolutions games since they opened and worked in the concessions for a season. Few things: 1. There’s a manual scoreboard in the Arch Nemesis. Pretty awesome. 2. Arch Nemesis was built to protect the houses on Arch Street and named by the fans during construction.
Not to mention there wasn’t much room to fit the ballpark in, so Arch Nemesis had to be built to negate the fact that left field wall has a very short distance from home plate
The SIUH Community Park was actually originally home to the Minor League Class-A Short Season affiliate of the Yankees, the Staten Island Yankees. However due to the restructuring of the Minor Leagues in 2020-21, the Yankees unfortunately met a fate dodged by the Brooklyn Cyclones by moving to the High-A level. The ballpark sat abandoned for 3 years before finally the New York Yankees attracted the Atlantic League and brought baseball back to Staten Island with the FerryHawks. I honestly have to say that the stadium has one of the best locations of any stadium in sports.
Wild Health Field was recently renovated with a turf field (sad), a new larger video board and new color LED stadium lights. Always a great atmosphere at games, also reigning league champions 😏 #StacheUp
In high point the blue seats are general seats. The black seats are called catalyst club seats and mainly special VIP seats. The purple seats represent high point university and are known as home run seats.
Genomes is a temporary team to be replaced by Hagerstown, MD eventually. Some of these teams like Staten Island, Charleston, Lexington, lost their affiliated teams so they had to switch to a unaffiliated league.
And other teams (Lancaster, York, Long Island, Southern Maryland, as well as past teams in Bridgeport, Newark, Camden) exist because nearby minor or major league teams have said no to certain cities having an affiliated team enter their market.
Charleston and Lexington were kicked out of affiliated ball but kept going as business enties, same with the Tri-city Valley Cats who joined the Frontier League. Staten Island is a new entiny entierly, not a contiunation of the old Yankees. It does kinda annoy me that the SI Yankees got cut, because it leaves my favotire minor league club, the Brooklyn Cyclones, without their twin. The two were founded as part of a deal between the City, the Mets and the Yankees. Both wanted minor league affliates nearby, but the other team retained veto power. City says "We'll build you each a minor league park and you approve each other's team.
From what the league believes, it seems like Hagerstown will be here next year. Then they’ll wait a couple years before planning on expanding to twelve. There’s been a lot of talk about trying to find something in SWVA and in Western PA.
@@thebiasedannouncer9444 Frederick was awarded a team to start play in 2023, they will share Nymeo Field with the Draft League Frederick Keys, they will probably have an I 70 rivalry with Hagerstown if they play in 2024.
So, the day I go to a Southern Maryland Blue Crabs game you release this video. Coincidence? I think not!! Great as always and I had a great time at the game...and that pool or pond or whatever in left field was strange. They had kids riding in mini paddle boats in it.
It used to be a bumper boat attraction when the park first opened, then it went abandoned for a while. Glad to hear they revamped it with paddle boats.
The building that is part of Appalachian Power Park I believe has a restaurant, but I know includes the team offices, ticket offices, and souvenir stand. It is actually an old grocery wholesaler that later was a furniture warehouse. The train horn is because the tracks are about a block away from the left field fence, but also a slight homage to the town's former ballpark, Watt Powell Park. Watt Powell was on the southside of the river and faced the hillside, but between the fence and the hillside was the train tracks. People used to joke the longest home run was hit in Watt Powell Park when Dave Parker hit a home run to right field that landed on a passing coal train and the ball was found 75 miles away in Kentucky on top of one of the coal cars. Two rows of seats were actually brought from Watt Powell to the new stadium, which can kind of be seen under the scoreboard in the video.
Regency Furniture stadium is in the middle of a massive planned community with some 7000 homes still left to be built around the ballpark. Powerlines to supply those 7,000 homes in the background Lol.
I love minor league baseball. Not a bad seat in the house and for very low prices. They actually appreciate the fans and the players hustle on every play.
Great content as always! I recently did a video ranking the logos of these teams, so this was fun to watch and compare the logos to their respective ballparks. Love this league, and greatly enjoy your content.
I went back to look at this video after one of your other minor league videos and immediately got nostalgic... for a strange reason. The Duck's park was actually through a small stretch of woods from where our house was on Long Island so even though my brother and I couldn't drive at the time, we had a way of getting to the games. I can never keep track of the name, though, it started as EAB Park if I recall correctly but that bank being bought by Citigroup just confused _everything_ with a certain field in Flushing Meadows.
As a High Point resident, I can explain why the Rockers have a small purple section! The team and their stadium are closely associated with High Point University, whose main color is purple, with the University's president actually being on the board of directors for the Rockers and Truist Point. That section also features some preserved seats from former or renovated major league stadiums on display. The team and stadium essentially operate as a single nonprofit entity with a focus on community advancement, since the city of High Point had next to nothing in terms of entertainment until the Rockers were founded a few years ago. HPU itself has grown a lot in the last two decades which further facilitated the need for a sports and entertainment venue outside the University, even though they've also renovated many of their athletic facilities and built a new basketball arena.
thanks very much, this is the video ive been waiting for. Lets go Barnstormers!!!!!! also Clipper Magazine used to have the "home run harbor" bumper boats, I always got drenched, and yes home runs there were a plenty

VMI have a mascot named Moe, who is an anthropomorphic kangaroo, and it's band has performed at over 10 presidential inaugurations.

The Staten Island FerryHawks is definitely on my bucket list for a night game … would have to get a seat behind home plate to enjoy the view.. guessing their not as expensive as the big leagues
I went on May 15. It was excellent. I think lower tickets are $15. You get the view from a lot more spots than the video poster made it seem. Partly because the batter's eye is in the way, but also because Manhattan widens out. You also get the Downtown Brooklyn and Jersey City skylines. Food is really good too. Recommend the empanadas down the left field corner.
We’ve been to 3 games so far and going again tomorrow. We live on Staten Island so it’s only a 15 minute drive from our house. $10 for the parking garage and $16 for a ticket. They been running ticket promotions as well. My boys and I have really been enjoying going to the games so far.
as a former Honey Hunters season ticket holder (and owner of the first competitive HR hit by the team) i can say the park has bar none the best stadium food ive ever had
I have witnessed several Atlantic League baseball games (Long Island Ducks) and can state that it's pretty good baseball for the $$. And I believe the Atlantic League has unlimited potential for expansion. If someone has an update on that I'd love to know about it.
York Pennsylvania is an old town. It is about 45 mins from my house. You have to cross over a train track to get to the stadium. The balls don’t go into traffic. It is a very nice and family friendly stadium. Lancaster Barnstormers stadium. Is a very nice stadium. I love that stadium to. Lancaster is where our local news is located in. WGAL 8.
Love the content. Looking to start producing my own videos about non league football in the UK and was wondering where you get your footage and images of the stadium’s in your videos? Many thanks
The York stadium is a block away from every transportation hub. It's incredibly accessible and I thought it was a beautiful ballpark. Not a bad personal find from a passerby.
I believe the reason wild health is called that is because it’s based in Lexington and the mascot of University of Kentucky (also in Lexington) is the wildcats, so that’s where I assume the connection is
Another great independent league is the American Association of Professional Baseball. I've only been to one park in it, but it's a good one. That would be Shaw Park, home of the Winnipeg Goldeyes.
Barnstormers, Blue Crabs and Dirty Birds, you have to love minor league team names! Here in Nova Scotia, one of the classic minor league ball teams were the Springhill Fencebusters. They were provincial champions between 1921 and 1945 and were inducted into the Nova Scotia Sports Hall of Fame in 1982. They got their nickname because of their powerful line-drive hitters and not their clumsy outfielders...
@@supersasukemaniac And we get the odd blue lobster up here in Atlantic Canada. Crab cakes are a staple in Maryland and the old AHL team used to be called the Skipjacks after the tuna.
Would love a tier 5 and a pair of tier 6 videos for English football, with a guest appearance of Gigg Lane. After you've exhausted other options, of course.
If you are looking for ideas maybe a look at older, now extinct stadia like sportsman’s park that was in St. Louis or Griffith stadium that was in D.C. while the stands in league park in Cleveland are gone, the field itself is still there and in full use by amateur teams
its so funny to me that you mdae this video didn't think this league was big enough. My sister gets free tickets to honey badger games all the time and I have gone to several rockers games its a great atmosphere. you should do the coastal plain league its a college ball league so maybe too small but they have the Savannah Bananas who are getting a documentary made about them.
Appalachian Power Park in Charleston WV is underwhelming. It has been since it opened. The cost to build the park was around $25 million, but there's not $25 million worth of quality and such in the ballpark.
Every minor league baseball stadium should have a playground/amusement park ride area like the ballpark in York. The team just needs a better nickname.

A few of these stadiums and teams were casualties of the the great minor league purge a couple of years ago
Appalachian Power Park in Charleston WV is underwhelming. It has been since it opened. The cost to build the park was around $25 million, but there's not $25 million worth of quality and such in the ballpark.
There used to be two Atlantic league team in Connecticut. Now both are gone
Bridgeport wanted to change the stadium into a concert venue, and the Bees were VERY poorly promoted in New Britain from all I’ve heard.
Staten Island just updated their stadium to artificial turf
Can you do CPBL stadiums ?
I will add it to the to do list.
Where is the Jersey Blueclaws?
Every minor league baseball stadium should have a playground/amusement park ride area like the ballpark in York. The team just needs a better nickname.
Let's go Blue Crabs!
Gastonia has so much foul ground because it's a multi-purpose stadium. That also explains the artificial turf.
Pennsylvania 'Dutch' is a bit of a misnomer. By Dutch, they really mean Deutsche or German, so you'd be more likely to get limburger than edam.
The Lancaster Barnstormers have shortened their name to Stormers for the '24 season.
