The stadium is known for several unique architectural and entertainment features, many of which were enhanced during major renovations in 2019. A 360-degree concourse allows fans to circle the entire field without missing the action while the Concave Right-Field Wall features a quirky design necessity due to the curve of the road behind the stadium, creating unique bounces for outfielders. The ballpark features a large Splash Pad in center field, a playground, and a carousel, making it highly popular with families and the venue is equipped with a high-definition video board and LED ribbon boards that were installed during the 2019 upgrades.
