Goodyear Park

(I did a little editing to the New York ballpark that I posted earlier to make it more generic for anyone who wants to use it for another city - or a fictional one)

Goodyear Park is undoubtedly the safest ballpark in all of baseball. That's probably because the team's owner admits all of his city's firefighters, rescue workers, and police officers free of charge. (Who, in turn, sponsor the awesome 4th of July fireworks show) As a result, the park is always filled near capacity. The club area in right field has built extra seating on its roof and the Extra Innings Cafe in left field has set up an overflow seating area near the fence. Tickets have become such a hard-fought commodity that fans often go to extremes to catch a glimpse of the game. During one playoff game, it was rumored that nearby window washers rented out their rig for $200 to a pair of ticket-less fans so they could watch from the elevated vantage point. A small brass ensemble often treats fans to a version of the theme from "The Lone Ranger" during the 7th inning stretch. (The William Tell Overature for those of you that are too young to remember the Lone Ranger)

Goodyear Park is very hitter-friendly with modest dimensions and short outfield walls down the lines.

Clearly, the devil is in the details.
