Knickerbocker Stadium

Ballpark notes... (Dimensions: LFL-318, LF-362, LC-399, CF-408, RC-385, RF-354, RFL-314 / Capacity: 52k)

The ballpark in the East Bronx is one of a kind. Built almost on the spot where baseball was first played in this country.  It is designed to be larger than life. The sheer size of it makes an impact on everyone who walks on the field for the first time. Pitchers report that balls hit in Knickerbocker Stadium have a different ring to them, a different sound. There is a rich sound to it. It's most famous feature is the copper facade that graces the stadium. The quickest way to get to Knickerbocker Stadium is the subway. Fans are allowed to depart the stadium through the center-field gates. This is one of my favorite places to catch Metro Leagues action.

Day games start at 1pm, Night games start at 7pm.  


City/Fan notes...

New York (Market Size: Huge) - 'The Big Apple' is the wealthiest, most populous city in the U.S. It has become one of the most visited cities in the country. The center of tourist activity runs from river to river. But, New York has various sub-neighborhoods each with its own ambiance. The Theater District is focused around the Mid-Manhatten theaters. East-End, on the far east of New York, has turned into somewhat of a trendy area with numerous restaurants and cafes dotting its blocks. The focal point of New York is Times Square with its urban glitz and flashing neon displays lighting up the streets 24 hours a day.  

New York is a wonderful, vibrant, exciting city with unending choices of things to do and see including catching a Knickerbockers ballgame at famed Kinckerbocker Stadium! Also, New York is a haven for business investers who flock to New York in throngs looking to make a fortune. Despite New York's serious business persona, it's a great place to live and visit.

Knickerbocker fans are loud, sometimes rowdy, but always passionate. They know the game well, but are well known for throwing things onto the field to protest a perceived bad call; or when they have an intense dislike for an enemy player. They are loyal to the team, but have been known to heckle one of their own players when he gets on their bad side. They love winning, but will stick with their club through tough times as well.
