Nice ballpark. Reminds me of Memorial Stadium in a way (it's a year younger). Differences are O'Brien Field is bigger (7,500 capacity to Memorial Stadium's 5,200 or so) and it's downtown.
Nice setting.
A view from the press box of Peoria's O'Brien Field. Notice the downtown skyline in the background. Nice setting.
Another shot of O'Brien Field from the press box.
A unique characteristic of O'Brien Field is that you can hit a home run (or foul ball) down the right-field line onto a street that borders the park.
Palm trees sit on the grass-seating berm outside the left-center fence. It's a Peoria tradition to ship them in from Florida for each season.
