Home Opener

I had a chance to spend an hour or so at Dunn Tire park tonight, as the Bisons played their home opener. There was a little rain, but it passed after about a 20-minute shower. And the buzz of the opener was prevalent throughout the ballpark.
Twenty years after it opened, the downtown ballpark still looks fantastic. The field was in great shape, the scoreboard is solid. The concourses and hallways were pristine, almost as if they'd been polished to a shine this afternoon. Dunn Tire Park remains a baseball treasure in my mind. When it opened in 1988, I can remember thinking that Buffalo had built a modern-day Dodger Stadium, with perfect sight lines and the best in fan amenities. Now, 20-years later, I can say it stands up as a great ballpark and an outstanding experience.
