MY TAKE ON THE PARK
LOCATED UNDER A MAZE OF LIGHT TOWERS WITHIN VIEW OF INTERSTATE
40, PRINGLES PARK AWAITS. A GREAT ATMOSPHERE OF PRACTICE FIELDS SURROUND THE ENTRANCEWAY GIVING THE IMPRESSION THAT A LOT
OF PEOPLE WILL LEARN AT THESE FIELDS AND MAYBE SOME DAY PLAY AT THE STADIUM AT THE END OF THE ROAD, PRINGLES PARK. SADLY,
I DON'T THINK ANY OF THEM WANT TO SEE THE PLACE UNTIL THEY PLAY THERE.
A GOOD LOOKING ENTRANCEWAY AWAITS AND PUTS YOU RIGHT AT THE TOP
OF THE PARK WITH A FULL VIEW OF THE FIELD .. AND INTERSTATE 40. A FREE PROGRAM IS HANDED TO YOU AND YOU MAKE OUR WAY
AROUND THE TOP OF THE SEATING BOWL. REMEMBER, NO MATTER WHERE YOU SIT YOU HAVE TO WALK TO THE TOP OF THE PARK TO GET CONCESSIONS,
GOOD CONCESSIONS HERE AND YOU CAN EVEN PICK UP A 'CAN' OF POTATO CHIPS.
A STAND OUT HERE IS THE PA ANNOUNCER, HE IS CLEAR AND DOESN'T
TRY TO BECOME PART OF THE GAME, A REFRESHING CHANGE TO MANY OTHER MINOR LEAGUE PARKS.
JACKSON TENNESSEE IS HALF WAY BETWEEN MEMPHIS AND LORETTA LYNN'S
HOME IN HURRICANE MILLS. TAKING THE TRIP FROM NASHVILLE TO MEMPHIS LORETTA LYNN AND THE DIAMOND JAXX ARE THE ONLY THINGS ALONG
THE WAY. SADLY, NOT MUCH MORE CAN BE SAID ABOUT PRINGLES PARK.
THE PARKING IS FREE, THE PROGRAMS ARE FREE, AND BOTH
ARE PLENTIFUL. THERE JUST ISN'T A LOT TO SAY ABOUT THIS PARK. NO CHARACTER AND THE SCOREBOARD IS SLOW BUT THE INTERSTATE
IS OVER THE LEFT FIELD WALL AND THE JAXX LOGO IS UP TO PAR WITH THE REST OF THE SOUTHERN LEAGUE.
