Summary Review: 1.5 stars (out of 5)

Truth be told, I didn't watch a baseball game here.  I came to Augusta to watch some basketball at the arena next door and meandered over to the baseball field.  That said, I don't need to watch a game here to tell you this stadium is awful, even by NCAA Division II baseball's low standards.  The only seating is 2 tiny sets of bleachers.  They are at least 30 feet behind the foul ball netting, so sitting there gives you a good view of nothing except maybe the netting.  I would much rather bring a lawn chair or sit on the grassy hillside near first base.  Other than the seating, the stadium's design is actually quite good.  The huge basketball arena parking lot also serves the baseball stadium, and there is a nice sidewalk giving fans access to the stadium.  Obviously I did not observe the audio system or the concessions, although those aspects of the arena next door were not encouraging.  Overall this would be a decent Division II baseball stadium with better seating, but the seating outweighs any other good aspects of this stadium.

Detailed Review:

Gameday Atmosphere: unknown; see above.

Seating: 2 small sets of bleachers well behind home plate.  I would probably choose to sit on the grassy hillside or bring my own lawnchair rather than sit in these bleachers.

Field View: not good if you are sitting in the bleachers.  They are too far from the field and you have to look through the foul ball net.  But you can see the entire field well from that grassy hillside.

Audio/Video: no video, which is expected for an NCAA Division II baseball stadium.  I did not observe the audio system.

Concessions/Hot Dogs: unknown; concessions were not operating when I came here.

Pedestrian Flow: seems fine, there is a nice concrete walkway from the bleachers to the parking lot.

Parking: the stadium is located right beside the basketball arena, so there is plenty of free parking.
