Not the cleanest, nor well-kept, it was the City of Utica in a nutshell. I kinda had higher expectations, as I used to frequent their Vestal location years ago. The prices are okay, considering it is a no-frills supermarket chain. It does have plenty of ethnic foods.

Every sports fan should attend a game here once in their life. This place has preserved the character of baseball from a bygone era while incorporating the nuances of the 21st century. I sat in the top most row and could still hear the pop of the glove as an outside fastball hits it, the yell of the ump's call, and the crack of the bat as it makes contact. The old-style organ music adds to the essence of this place.

This was one of the more impressive stadiums in the NFL that does not get near enough credit. The place has preserved its historic character on the exterior, and the game experience was excellent. The field seems to be in excellent shape. The only drawback would be the extended hike in and out of the stadium, as it is built in a preserved park section of Chicago.
