Ballpark notes... (Dimensions:
LFL-355, LF-368, LC-380, CF-400, RC-380, RF-368, RFL-353 / Capacity:
41k)
Nestled between classic
apartment houses and city streets this is
probably the fan friendliest ballpark in the league. Countless fans
have watched free games from the porches and rooftops of houses on
Waveland Ave. (Behind the left field fence) and Shefield Ave. (Beyond
right field). Chicago Field is affected by wind conditions more than
any other ballpark in the Metros. Breezes off the great lake favors
pitchers, but winds blowing toward the great lake carries balls.
Day games start at
1pm. No night games.
City/Fan notes...
Chicago (Market
Size: Really Big)
- As a multicultural city that thrives on the harmony and diversity of
its neighborhoods, Chicago today embodies the values of America's
heartland-integrity, hard work and community and reflects the ideals in
the social fabric of its 77 distinct neighborhoods.
Chicago is a leader in ensuring accessibility for all it's citizens and
fostering, social, economic and environmental sustainability. Their's
no wonder this third largest U.S. city has earned the reputation as the
'Friendly City.'
Chicago is recognized across the United States as a very passionate
sports town as fans go out of their way to support their beloved
Mammoths baseball club. Mammoth fans will do
just about
anything to get a ticket to the game. However,
Mammoth fans can get quite
hostile before games, as they tend to crowd around the opposition's
stadium entrance to heckle them as they arrive for the game.
All games are played in
daylight and the park is always full.
