	Autozone Park - Memphis, Tennessee
		If this was set in a parking lot on the outskirts of the city, Autozone Park certainly would not rate as high in my book.
		The seating bowl is similar to most new parks with the concourse overlooking the field, and the luxury boxes built over the concourse.
		The exterior of the park is made of the classic red brick, which has become tiring, but works here as it fits in with the surrounding buildings.

	Herschel Greer Stadium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Greer was considered a modern, attractive minor league stadium in its early years and was home to some of the largest crowds in the minor leagues in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
		Since then it has losts its status as a premier minor league facility and compares very unfavorably with the relatively-luxurious minor league stadiums which have been built in recent years, most notably AutoZone Park in Memphis.
		In fact, it now falls well below the standards set for a AAA stadium by Organized Baseball, and in recent years the Sounds consistently threatened to move, either to a new stadium in a Nashville suburb or out of the Nashville area entirely.

		As in other new parks, this concourse extends out around the outfield and loops back, a great feature for folks who like to check out different views, take pictures, try to snag foul or home run balls, or just stretch their legs.
		And though the use of red brick and dark green paint has become a ballpark cliche in recent years, Autozone Park's use of this color scheme is still preferable to the large amounts of unpainted concrete found at similar venues.
