5 Things To Look For In 2015
(Scotiabank Field at Nat Bailey Stadium - Vancouver, B.C.) - You could have used an egg timer to count the time between the final pitch of 2014 and the start to a whole host of upgrades out at Scotiabank Field at Nat Bailey Stadium.
Here's a look at five key upgrades out at the stadium this season;
1) The "hey y'all!" Porch - With seating for approximately 300 fans, this all-you-can-eat porch-styled, seating area has had the city buzzing since the Canadians released the artist's renderings last fall. It has been more than 40 years since a baseball fan out at "The Nat" could sit beyond the left field fence and enjoy a game in style.
From a catered buffet, to seating with a counter top in front of you to place your meal and beverages, this could become the new standard when it comes to bringing your group out to Scotiabank Field. Oh, did we mention that the front row of the "hey y'all!" Porch has a row of rocking chairs to enjoy the game? This ballpark experience spared no expense and will be one of the most talked about stadium area's in all of Minor League Baseball.
2) Smoke 'em if ya got 'em - The Canadians are always looking to make your food options sing out at Scotiabank Field and in 2015, we will be smoking our meats down the 3rd base line for a flavour extravaganza like no other. We'll load up the smoker in the early morning and let that meat absorb all of that summertime flavour to give you a ballpark meal that will be second to none.
3) The Hard Rock Casino Vancouver BBQ Picnic In The Park - Fresher, Cleaner and more exciting than ever before. Groups can reserve games in the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver BBQ Picnic In The Park area located down the 1st base line and truly be right on top of the action.
