Tiers of picnic table seating in the right field corner, beside the "Kansas City Strip" berm seating area and batting cages. A wooden BBQ deck sits on the center field berm, and a large party tent sits behind the batter's eye. Flags along the outfield concourse celebrate past T-Bones championships, and a Durham Bulls-esque sign dares players to hit a literal "bulls eye" A large open entry plaza at the Field of Legends featured meat themed concession stands such as "The Butcher Block" and the "Meat Locker" while the team was known as the T-Bones. The bullpens just out into the field of play in left center field, creating a unique small alcove between them. The left field fence is a Green Monster-like wall that slopes downward toward the deeper dimensions of center field. Former Negro League star Buck O'Neil has his number retired, and a small ribbon board mounted on the wall hangs out over the warning track. |
