Finally got around to do this.
Hudson Valley Renegades (Short-Season Single A D-Rays) - Dutchess Stadium
Inside: B+
The ushers pretty much let you roam free. A lot of room down the foul lines, but the dugouts are tough because the netting blocks you out.
Outside: A+
No secruity and no barricades. You can pretty much walk up to the home or visting teams' locker room doors (It may even be possible to go inside, but that may push it a little, just for an autograph). The players have a long walk to the bus, so it is pretty easy to get them to sign.
P.S.- I will be able to 50/50 a few games in '06.

Campanelli stadium

inside- A+ easy to get autographs and every seat has a great view

outside-D+ all i have to say is that the parking lot is a high school. There is also a swampy area outside the park.


It is a good place for familys............great place to snag autos.

The Rox are in the CanAm Lg. They are on my list for this year.

my home park, Pfitzner Stadium the home of the Carolina League Potomac Nationals, is cake for the inside and outside.

Inside-"A" if you come when the gates open an hour or so before the game you can stand along the fence within feet of the dugout and get anyone you want. There are rarely any other auto seekers there.

Outside-"A" You can literally wait right in front of the opposing teams locker room door and catch the players as they come out. There's no security at all. Again, there's hardly any auto seekers at all. I go once in a while and I'm often the only person getting autos.

For being in the DC area which is highly populated, I'm surprised there are hardly any auto seekers (besides children when there are ball or bat giveaways)

davidortizfan123

yea, i knew that, dont know what i was thinking...........

Shawn_E.

Inside - F - Not a lot of access to field level

Outside - B- Both teams come out on the 3rd Base side. They have to come up the stairs from the clubhouse leaving plenty of time to recognize them.

Tropicana Field
Inside probably the best in mlb, the low numbered crowds also help. A+
Outside, the players lot works well, but you cant always get people that dont drive in and park. B

well when they had a team in greenville the inside was pretty easy if you get there early. then both teams left in the same area so that was nice too. no so sure how the new stadium will be set up

qbyankee

are you serious?!?! i saw them play the rangers 3 years ago and i got two visitors autographs and 4 home team autographs and that was running around like a chicken with his head cut off.

I think Greenville has a new park this year. I liked the old place but couldn't tell you anything if indeed they have a new one.

The other stadiums are typical Low-A easy parks. In Charleston, go to the side of the dugout closest to either 1st (Home) or 3rd (Visitors). There's a space between the stand and the dugout so you have to just call over who you want. Players come out in the concourse from the clubhouses after the games, home on the 1st base side, visitors on the 3rd base side.

Same setup in Augusta, go to the sides of the dugout closest to 1st/3rd bases and just call over who you need. after the game the players come out and walk up a silght ramp. Home team parks on the 1st base side in the lot. Vivistors get on the bus on the 3rd base side and have to cross the street to get there.

Just a note. If you don't know faces in Augusta, make sure to have numbers. I was there Opening Night last year and I noticed the roster in the program didn't have any numbers.

Hope this helps!

Aside from Brooklyn, I can't think of any NY-Penn league stadium that's any different outside like this. New Jersey, Williamsport, Hudson Valley, TRi-City, Oneonta. In fact, of about the 12 or so home stadiums I visit, none have security outside except for Brooklyn and still you could get anyone you want after Cyclones games if you can ID them.

ELSKOTTO

Chattanooga

Gates Open 1.5 hours early and then programs are TWENNNTTTTTY FIIIIIVE CENTS! JUSSSSSST TWENNNNTTTTTY FIIIIIVE CENTS! as the woman yells that almost every game. Inside the Lookouts are great because they all have to walk right out a door in the right field corner. The opposing team varies inside though because the left field side is a picnic area that is sometimes closed off partially or all the way so I give inside autographs a solid B at Chattanooga just because of the unpredictability of the picnic area

Inside - B

Outside Chattanooga is GREAT...a couple of players walk across the field to their cars parked behind the picnic area in left field but most of them come out on a small concourse area in right field just outside the gates by a bunnnnch of steps but the concourse area is on top of the steps....the visiting team will ALL come out here 99.9% of the time even on the nights or days that the bus parks around front. The place outside the right field gate is an A+ because if you can recognize them in street clothes almost everybody always stops and signs some and with both teams coming out the same place it makes it a one stop autographing spot.

Outside - A+

Finally getting around to grade the stadium I went to during my trip last week.

POTOMAC NATIONALS

Inside - A - Stand by the fence of the outfield side of either dugout. You will standing at field level and can look in the dugout and see who is coming out.

Outside - A - Clubhouse door empties into the main concourse. Stand by the door and get them.

BOWIE BAYSOX

Inside - A - Bowie comes out the gate by the right field foul pole, visitors come out by the left field foul pole. Take your pick which side you want.

Outside - B - Poor lighting makes it somewhat difficult to recognize the players as they come out.

FREDERICK KEYS

Inside - A+ - Players walk down steps to the field at the end of the seating area giving you plenty of time to recognize them. Visitors come down on the 3rd base side, Frederick comes down on the 1st base side.

Outside - A - Clubhouses are located at the each end of the stadium. Stand by the door and wait for them to come out, best to wait for them outside though so you can recognize them and get your stuff ready.
