Date visited: 5/15/99 Ease of getting to; getting in and out of: I had difficulty with the directions; parking was tough. Radio Announcer: None Website: Okay Official website: www.greenjackets.net Customer Service: Good Personal Notes: Beautiful setting for a ballpark across from a lake. The announcer was unclear. Think it was the sound system. Ushers asked folks to leave the box seats even though those tickets holders didn't show up. Although I did have a ticket in a box seat, I don't think it's necessary they shoo people away when the ticket holder is a no show. |

The outside of Lake Olmstead Park. Nice and clean in a 'state park' type setting. The little structure with the green roof (left side of photo) with people standing in line is the ticket box office. |

Taken from just above the first base dugout. I like those scoreboards with round clocks in them. I noticed on my trips to different stadiums and games, more minor league players wear the hi-socks than in the major league. The lower the level of class (A vs. AA vs.AAA), the more hi-socks. |
