Louisville: Slugger Field
Louisville Slugger Field is a baseball stadium in Louisville, Kentucky. The baseball-specific stadium opened in 2000 with a seating capacity of 13,131. It is currently home to the Louisville Bats, Triple-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds, and Louisville City FC of the United Soccer League.
The unique design of Louisville Slugger Field includes a former train shed on the site which was incorporated into the stadium. The Ohio River and state of Indiana are visible from the park, as well as views of downtown Louisville. Naming rights for the stadium were purchased by Hillerich & Bradsby, makers of the famous Louisville Slugger baseball bat, and the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory is located several blocks further down Main Street.
The Louisville Bats and the City of Louisville broke ground on Louisville Slugger Field on November 13, 1998. In front of an estimated crowd of 1,000, Mayor Jerry Abramson and Governor Paul E. Patton cut out the first home plate before they broke the ground with Bats President Gary Ulmer and other officials.
The stadium hosted the 2008 Triple-A All-Star Game, in which the Pacific Coast League All-Stars defeated the International League All-Stars, 6–5, in front of a sellout crowd.
On July 8, 2009, John Mellencamp, Bob Dylan, and Willie Nelson held a concert at the ballpark.
In March 2015, Louisville City FC became the stadium's second major tenant. The team plays in the United Soccer League, which at the time occupied the third division of U.S. professional soccer but has now been elevated to second-division status.
On August 1, 2008 a record crowd of 18,543 people attended a concert by Dave Matthews Band.
The design of Louisville Slugger Field is a joint effort of HNTB Architects of Kansas City, Mo and K. Norman Berry Associates of Louisville. The field was financed through a partnership between the city, the Bats, Hillerich & Bradsby, the Brown Foundation, Humana Inc. and the Humana Foundation.
The stadium includes 11,522 fixed seats with room for 1,609 additional spectators in the picnic areas and berm sections. The ballpark also includes 32 private suites, 850 second-level club seats, a continuous concourse around the field, an outfield seating berm, extensive press facilities, concessions and restrooms, a children's play area, team and administrative offices and numerous retail amenities. Spectators enter the stadium through the restored train shed building, which was formerly the Brinly-Hardy Co. warehouse.
The Main Street side of the building includes exterior access to a microbrewery and restaurant located within the facility, as well as a statue of Louisville native and Baseball Hall of Famer Pee Wee Reese. The Witherspoon Street entrance, diagonally situated from Waterfront Park includes a statue of football Hall of Famer, Paul Hornung.
While the full capacity of the park is 13,131, the capacity for soccer matches is normally restricted to 8,000 due to less-than-optimal sightlines for that sport.
Louisville Slugger Museum w/ Chase Crawford
Got the news that my bud Chase was stopping in town for the day, so we made plans to check out the Louisville Slugger Museum. We went on a tour showing us how each bat is made, tried our hand at the batting cage and even met Captain Jack Sparrow...wait what?

UC Santa Barbara Walk-Off Grand Slam vs. Louisville to reach the College World Series
UC Santa Barbara was down 3-0 heading into the bottom of the ninth inning against Louisville.
The series definitely appeared to be headed to a decisive Game 3, where the Louisville Cardinals -- favored to win it all -- would have a chance to qualify for the College World Series. Then the Gauchos loaded the bases. Then Sam Cohen stepped to the plate.
A line drive down the right field line carried over the fence and advanced UCSB to the College World Series. It also got an ump swallowed in a dogpile, which might be the best part of all of this.
