Yeah, Altoona Curve is almost like the "big leagues". Meaning the Pittsburgh Pirates at best.

Hey aces, have you ever been there? There is an amusement park and the logan vally mall is right across the street, its a way to spend a family day.

Judged:

Agreed. Anyone who knocks Blair County Ballpark has not been there.

I Know

Minor Correction... The amusement park beyond the outfield is not Del Grosso's; it's Lakemont. Del Grosso's is 12-13 miles up I-99, near Tipton.

Very classy venue.
