After attending spring-training and regular-season games at BrightHouseNetworksField, it's clear that the throngs of Phillies fans have a great time basking under the Florida sun here, while the Class A Threshers fans are also well served by a ballpark that's not too overwhelming on a hot August night.
A grassy outfield seating area should be mandatory for any spring-training field, and BrightHouseNetworksField doesn't disappoint: the area stretches across the entire outfield (except for the bullpens), putting fans close to the action and to players in the bullpen.
