My series on the ball parks in the Sun Belt will begin tomorrow.

It will be a very subjective list.

The criteria will be decided by me. The emphasis on criteria will be decided by me.

It's an opinion. That's all. Yours may be different, and that's ok.

My criteria will be, in no particular order:

Location (is it on campus, and if yes, how easy is it to get to. I will consider an athletic complex to be an on campus facility.

Ease and location of parking.

Restrooms and concessions: Are there enough and what about ease of purchase

Atmosphere

Ambience

Uniqueness: What does this park have that other's don't

Is there anything special for large amount donors?

Press facility: Is it big enough? Are there separate radio booths? Is there a third booth for television?

I've been fortunate to having been to all the parks in the league. I hope this is at least a big enlightening for those of you who have not been as fortunate as I.

Play ball.

Beaver Field at Smith Stadium isn't anywhere near the size, nor does it have many of the amenities that most SB parks do, but it's wins the "Best Setting" catagory hands down.
