	Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium was a baseball and football stadium that formerly stood in Atlanta, Georgia.
		The stadium was long known for the poor quality of the field of play – no one bothered to hire full-time groundskeepers until the early 1990s, instead relying on a city work crew.
		One unusual feature of this stadium is the fact that, unlike most baseball stadiums used for football where the football field is laid either parallel to one of the foul lines or running from home plate to center field, the football field here was laid along a line running between first and third base.

	Ballparks of Baseball-County Stadium
		County Stadium had a capacity of 28,111 that consisted of a double decked grandstand down the first and third base lines, a lower level of seating that extended to the foul poles, and bleachers were in various parts of the outfield.
		With soaring attendance at County Stadium, the grandstands that were single decked down the foul lines were double decked by the 1954 season, increasing the capacity to 43,340.
		The thing in which County Stadium became known for was its mascot Bernie the Brewer, his beer barrel, chalet, and slide that was added in 1973 behind the bleachers in centerfield.

	Baseball Travel: County Stadium, Milwaukee
		A shrine to corrugated sheet metal, the real appeal to County Stadium isn't the physical surroundings -- indeed, County Stadium is outdated and rundown -- but in the memories shared by the longtime Milwaukee fans devoted to their Brewers and (before that) Braves.
		Since most of the old parking at County Stadium is now occupied by Miller Park, you're routed to lots that are literally a half mile or more away from County Stadium, which means that you'll have a long hike to the park.
		County Stadium is on the edge of an industrial area and a freeway, so there aren't a lot of places to hang out before the game.

	Milwaukee Brewers - Stadium
		Milwaukee County Stadium was a terrible blight upon the Milwaukee landscape - its dull gray exterior, cramped concourses and obstructed-view seats made it old park without an old park’s character.
		It was, of course, a government-owned multipurpose facility - see Network Associates Stadium in Oakland, Exhibition Stadium in Toronto, and Cleveland's Municipal County Stadium for other examples of these atrocious ballparks.
		The stadium's original seating capacity was 28,111 permanent seats and 7,900 portable seats.

	Goodbye, County Stadium
		Somehow Milwaukee County Stadium was home to a higher order of history--the career of Warren Spahn, Henry Aaron's 755th homerun, the 12 inning perfect game that made Harvey Haddix the best losing pitcher ever--yet the stadium itself will not be missed by many major leaguers.
		The stadium housed Paul Molitor's 39-game hit-streak, Robin Yount's 3000th hit, the '55 and '75 All-Star games, and most of Eddie Mathews' Hall of Fame career, yet the stadium is unlikely to be greatly missed, because so much of its history is bisected.
		County Stadium was the first ever publicly funded stadium and, as such, it was home to one of the most free-spirited publics in all of sport.

		Lackawanna County Stadium was completed in 1989, so it's a modern steel-and-concrete facility and has a lower and upper deck, offering spectators alternative viewing locations.
		Lackawanna County Stadium has a total capacity of 10,800, but we won't tell you that every seat is ideal for watching a marching band show.
		The acoustics are surprisingly good, the field sufficiently enclosed by the stadium and the mountain backdrop to embrace the music but not echo it like a fully enclosed stadium.

	BallParkWatch - Lackawanna County Stadium / SWB Red Barons
		One of the few two-decked stadiums in Class AAA, Lackawanna County Stadium was built in 1989 after a local nonprofit group, Northeastern Baseball, Inc., stepped forward and bought the Class AAA Maine Guides and moved them to the Scranton area.
		Lackawanna County Stadium is well-known for its scenic locale at the foot of Montage Mountain.
		The consensus seems to be to avoid the upper deck of the stadium, as those seats tend to be too far away from the action on the field.

	Ballparkwatch - Space Coast Stadium / Brevard County Manatees / Montreal Expos
		Space Coast Stadium was originally built to be the spring-training home of the Florida Marlins, which explains the teal-colored seats throughout the ballpark.
		The stadium signage is designed to look futuristic as well; contrast all the futurism with one of the few hand-operated scoreboards in the minor leagues.
		Of course, until the nearby area grows enough, Space Coast Stadium is overkill for the Brevard County Manatees (although the team did have a crowd of 5,000+ this season), so it must also be judged as a suitable spring-training facility.

	Lackawanna County Stadium Pictures
		Lackawanna County Stadium was built to mimic the "cookie cutter" designs of major league ballparks of the 1970s.
		The place was built to mimic Philadelphia's Veteran's Stadium, so that it's players, who are only one step away from the bigs by the time they play here, would be used to the conditions at the Vet.
		That's because these types of stadiums are slowly disappearing from the baseball landscape, and there are even fewer minor league parks built this way.

		The Lackawanna County Commissioners approved the rest of the funding so the money to buy the coveted franchise was ³in the bank.² By now newly elected Governor Robert Casey, impressed that this was now a solid regional project, was convinced to increase the proposed grant to seven million dollars.
		Knowing that a Phillies AAA team was a certainty and that the County was pressed to finish the Stadium for a now-delayed April 26th, Opening Day, Governor Robert Casey announced an $11 million state grant.
		Her final report was inconclusive and the media coverage forced a frenzy of follow-up investigations by agencies with any possible jurisdiction on the bidding issue or the grant.

	JS Online: County Stadium comes down
		Baseball commissioner Bud Selig, former president of the Milwaukee Brewers, looks over the remains of Milwaukee County Stadium after the final section of the ballpark was brought down Wednesday morning.
		County Stadium had been eulogized and funeralized for months, especially on that day in September, before a sellout crowd, when the flag was literally passed from the old guard of Milwaukee baseball to the new, and then taken to the behemoth of Miller Park, a few feet away.
		But, for the record, and especially for those who attach such mystique to baseball and the places where it is played, let note be taken that the end of the end came Wednesday morning when a routine operation by a demolition crew felled the last of the main structure of the stadium.
