The view from behind home plate at Medlar Field. Mount Nittany provides the dramatic backdrop for a game.
The view from down the first base line. The scoreboard/light stanchion structure dominates the left field landscape.
The view from down the third base line. A small raised section of bleachers overlooks right field.
The grandstand at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park stands in the shadow of Beaver Stadium on the campus of Penn State University.
The fans in the first row can peek into the dugouts, which are not closed on the sides.
The picnic deck wraps around the left field foul pole.
The concourse in the right field corner features drink rails with television screens and flags representing all the teams in the NY-Penn League.
The right field fence rises to 18.55 feet, commemorating the year Penn State was founded, and the tall wall wraps around the home bullpen.
The maintenance door in right field creates a small sharp corner right before the tall right field wall.
Other than the right field wall's height, the field has the same outfield dimensions as PNC Park in Pittsburgh.
The wall juts out dramatically to 410 feet, forming the nook in left center field. When the Spikes score the "Nookie Monster" appears from inside the wall to celebrate.
