After a 9-hour drive from Mobile, we arrived in Little Rock to see the Arkansas Travelers at their brand new ballpark, Dickey-Stephens Park. The team used to play at Ray Winder field from 1932 to 2006, and it’s safe to say the ballpark was past its prime. The new stadium—on the other ahnd—opened just over a month ago, and is stocked will all the bells and whistles you could think of—even wireless access points throughout the ballpark. The organ is located right behind home plate in the concourse, and fans can stand right next to the organ player when he or she plays during the game. This ballpark was one of the more expensive ones to build, costing over $40 million to construct. The fans have been packing in since Opening Day, and tonight was no different with over 5,500 people in attendance.

With all those people, it was no wonder that this was our best fundraising night yet! Thanks to Pete for getting us a great item and letting us set up camp in the concourse. If you are ever in the Little Rock area, this ballpark is a nice place to take in a game and offers nice views of the downtown area. Highly recommended.
