The tall advertisement in front of the trees is part of the fence, and a batter has to clear the entire ad to get a home run. The pressbox straddles the main entrance to the seating bowl, with aluminum bleachers on either side. The field comes almost to a point in center field at a deep 430 feet, making the playing field resemble a diamond shape. A plaque to the right of center field celebrates Johnson City's long history of Appalachian League pennants. |
