Louisville Slugger Field named finalist in competition for country's best Triple-A ballpark

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Louisville Slugger Field is a finalist in Ballpark Digest's "2022 MiLB Triple-A Best of the Ballparks" competition.

A winner of the tournament in 2016, Slugger Field was slotted by Ballpark Digest before the tournament as the No. 7 seed, with Las Vegas Ballpark — last year's winner — receiving the top seed.

Greg Galiette, president of the Louisville Bats, said the open concept of the park's concourse gives fans the feeling of a "street fair," lending itself to a casual atmosphere to catch a game.

"This ballpark is small enough where the atmosphere each and every night is special," he said. "It's big enough to accommodate big crowds. And it's just got that atmosphere that you want every ballpark to have."

"We want to get the word out and have everybody in the community step up and vote for Louisville Slugger Field as the top triple-A ballpark in all of America," Galiette said.
