The grandstand at The Diamond. The luxury suites are at concourse level, with a huge upper deck above.

The Diamond is built in the style of the massive multipurpose stadiums of the 1970s like Three Rivers Stadium and Riverfront Stadium, and looks like a semi-circle rather than the "donut" shapes of its major league counterparts.

The souvenir store occupies one of the luxury boxes, giving shoppers an excellent view of the playing field.
