Ballpark notes... (Dimensions: LFL-345, LF-355, LC-420, CF-365, RC-350, RF-330, RFL-318 / Capacity: 41K) Craddletop Park appears rooted at the center of an urban village, a village that includes shops, restaurants, offices, and other attractions. In the middle of the food court, a merry-go-round is available for the young and young-at-heart. Center field features a giant water display known as, "Liquid Fireworks"," that sprays fountains of water when a hometown player hits a homerun. Also, with no upper deck outfield seats, no ballpark offers a better view of a downtown skyline than Craddletop Park.
Day games start at 1pm, Night games start at 7pm.
City/Fan notes... Patriarch
fans are a tough crowd in a blue collar city. They
love their club but expect them to play a gritty brand of baseball.
When they do, these fans back them all the way. However, they can turn
ugly during key games with rivals. Extra security is brought in to
handle the ruckus during meaningful games. It's a rare enemy who wants
to play a game at Craddletop Park during the heat of a pennant race.
The opposition had better bring their thick skin with them, as
Patriarchs fans are sure to voice their displeasure.

Detroit (Market
Size: Good) - is nearly one million people coming from more than
100
ethnic and nationality groups, giving an exciting diversity to the
city. Detroit's international flavor is further enhanced by the steady
stream of ships passing by on the Detroit River, one of the busiest
inland waterways in the world. The river carries more shipping traffic
than any other river in North America and Detroit ranks as one of the
major U.S. ports. For the spectator sports
enthusiast, Detroit boasts the
Patriarchs
baseball club who play out their diamond doings at Craddletop Park.
