MY TAKE ON THE PARK
LOCATED
ON THE CAMPUS OF HUDSON VALLEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE IS 'THE JOE'. A PARK THAT HAS REALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT IT IS DOING SINCE MY
FIRST TRIP AND I HAVE TO SAY, HAS BECOME A REAL GEM IN THE NY - PENN LEAGUE.
BEING ON THE COLLEGE CAMPUS AND BEING A SUMMER LEAGUE, THERE IS AMPLE FREE PARKING AROUND THE
STADIUM, HOWEVER, THERE ARE TWO EXITS BUT THE LOT IS KIND OF NARROW TO GET OUT SO YOU MAY SIT A LITTLE BIT AT THE END OF THE
GAME.
UPON ENTERING THE PARK THROUGH THE VERY WIDE GATES THE FIELD
IS UPON YOU. UPSTATE NEW YORK DOESN'T GET VERY GOOD WEATHER BUT THE FIELD AT 'THE JOE' IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED.
THE
SEATING BOWL RUNS FROM FOUL POLE TO FOUL POLE WITH COMFORTABLE GREEN SEATS, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND A SPONSOR FOR THAT CUP
HOLDER I GUESS. ALSO, THE SEATS DO NOT FACE THE PITCHERS MOUND WHICH REALLY DID NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME.
BEHIND THE SEATS IS A VERY SPACIOUS WALKWAY WHICH LEAVES ENOUGH ROOM FOR THE CONCESSIONS. DOWN THE LEFT FIELD LINE
THERE IS THE STANDARD KIDS AREA BUT ALSO A LITTLE BEER GARDEN. DOWN THE RIGHT FIELD LINE THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF CONCESSIONS,
THE TRI-CITY AREA OF UPSTATE NY KNOWS ALL OF THE CONCESSIONS PEOPLE WILL WANT SO THEY OFFER THEM. THEY EVEN SELL SPIEDIES
AND SALTED POTATOS, TWO UPSTATE NY TREATS.
THE AREAS I WAS VERY CRITICAL OF ON MY FIRST VISIT IN '03 HAVE REALLY
BEEN ADDRESSED. THE SOUND SYSTEM WORKS PERFECTLY AND THE SCOREBOARD GIVES SCORING DESICIONS QUICKLY, WHY DOESN'T EVERY PARK??
A FEW POINTS ABOUT THE PLACE ::
THE SUN SETS OVER THE 3RD BASE STANDS SO SITTING ON THE FIRST BASE SIDE DURING EARLY EVENING
HOURS WILL GIVE YOU A GREAT VIEW OF THE SUN.
FOOD IS PRETTY REASONABLY PRICED, FOR THE MINOR LEAGUES.
MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT ARE THE MISSING CUP HOLDERS, THEY WOULD PUT THIS PLACE TO THE
TOP OF MY LIST OF PARKS.
THE TRI-CITIES OF NEW YORK ARE; ALBANY, SCHNECTADY, AND TROY.
