The grandstand at Estadio Francisco Montaner, as seen from the left field corner of the park.

The press box sits at the top of the stands behind home plate.

The ballpark is a multi-purpose stadium and there is a second press box down the third base line for use when the stadium hosts track and field events.

The seating on the first base side runs just into the outfield.

The stands on the third base side, however, run all the way past the left field wall and act as the main seating when the stadium hosts non-baseball events.

The seating bowl is split by a walkway, with box seats closer to the field and general admission seats higher up.

The older general admission seats show several coats of paint.

The grandstand, underneath the stands, features a bust of Francisco "Paquito" Montaner.

The multi-purpose set up of the field leads to a wide amount of foul territory down the lines.

Bullpens sit beside the first base grandstand and behind the right field wall at Estadio Francisco Montaner.

The outfield wall.

The playing surface is entirely artificial turf, laid over the running track, and the track can still be seen beyond the modular left field wall.
