Visalia is located a bit south of Fresno, in case any of you out there were hoping for a free geography lesson. Recreation Stadium seats only 1,800 people making it the smallest ballpark in California and it might just be the smallest one in all of Minor League baseball. By September, I will be able to confirm that fact. Good news for Oaks fans—after this season, the ballpark is going under major rennovations and will be doubling their seating capacity to 3,600, adding is suite level seating and some additional grass seating in right field. The best part about the changes is that the fans will still people able to sit just 28 feet or so from home plate.

Special thanks to Jennifer and Elana for helping us out at the game. Tonight’s promotion was “Las Vegas” night, where fans (21 and older) played card games and other various games of chance in hopes of winning roundtrip airfare for two to Las Vegas. We were able to have a solid night of fundraising due to the generous Oaks fans that were packed into the intimate seating areas. Next up is a trip back to the Bay Area.
