Host Hotel: I don't remember where I stayed but there's plenty to choose from in the area. Check AAA, mapquest, your local travel agent for one that suits your needs. You can also contact the Durham Bulls for recommended accommodations close to the ballpark.
Ease of getting to; getting in and out of: I had a tough time with parking; knowing where to park.
Radio Announcer: Mediocre. He stuck to the game but for once (and the only time) I wish he had said just a little more. It's usually the other way around.
Website: Love it! They have a section where you could send email postcards to friends and families; a section that gives you the formula for figuring out some of the stats (it even gives you the opportunity to plug the numbers in and it does the calculation for you); game day information. Definitely check this one out. 8?2008 - Site doesn't have formula for stats anymore but now has ready to pring score cards. It is still one of the better ones.
