I finally made it out to a Durham Bulls game this summer. I got there a little early to take some pictures of the stadium before the game started. It was a big scoring game! The Bulls beat the Syracuse Chiefs 11-5. BTW, I highly recommend seats in sections 206, 208, and 210. They are located along the first base line and have a great view of the field for only $8. Here are a bunch of pictures from the game. I had planned some better close-up shots, but the juice in my camera batteries ran out!

Nice pictures, NRG! You did a great job capturing the ball park and the activity. We attended our first Durham Bulls game a couple weeks ago and had a ball!

Were there any home runs? Did you get to see the bull above the blue monster wall blow smoke and see his eyes glowing red?

You really can't beat the Durham Bulls for fun and cheap entertainment!

Yes, there were a few home runs! I missed my chance to catch a foul ball that came into the stands too. I got up to roam around and take some pictures and about 15 seconds after I left my seat a foul ball landed right in it. I watched everyone dive into the very spot I had moments earlier been sitting. Maybe I'll catch one next time!

Look at the bright side.... at least you weren't sitting there in your seat being a target!

Great pictures. BTW, pretty much every seat in the stadium is a great seat. I've sat in many different sections and have yet to be disappointed.

My company has a suite there, so I'll be going with the family on the Saturday before Labor Day. Looking forward to it. What are the concession prices like?

Concession prices aren't too bad. CHEAP compared to RBC Center or Altell Pavillion. Don't remember prices off the top of my head since I didn't pay

Just wanted to say the fireworks are awesome! Try to go to a game when the fireworks follow.
