The Durham Bulls

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Today was a field trip day!  We went to see a Durham Bulls game at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park in Durham, NC.  It was pretty fun.  It was the first time I’d been to a Durham Bulls game.  It was actually the first time I had been to any kind of large baseball game.  The Durham Bulls are a minor league team. 


Trying to figure out how to get to the stadium from the parking deck.


Walking out of the Crowe Building, there were some very pretty places to sit and relax and/or have something to eat.


We had a very sunny day for the game!  I did remember my sunscreen and visor this time.  :)


Princess of the Universe waiting at the gate.


Once inside, I was impressed with the cleanliness and all the food and attractions to choose from.


The pitch!


Durham is full of landmarks to remind us of the long history of tobacco farming in and around Durham.


There’s Jackie Robinson Drive just adjacent to the DBAP main entrance.

I am not a huge sports fan, so this is not something I would do all the time, but it was nice to stand for the national anthem, it was fun to hear all the standard baseballs songs and chants over the loud speakers, and it was fun to just sit and eat and visit with friends while watching the game.
