Now, Al Lang Field isn't the same venue it was in the 1940s and 1950s when it was a landmark in spring training, but it's still a great place to catch a spring-training game. We hope the Rays catch the spirit of the original Al Lang in their designs for a new ballpark, For the rest of us, a trip to Al Lang Field will be a mandatory event in Spring Training 2008.Trustmark Park, Mississippi BravesThere's nothing wrong with Trustmark Park, the home of the Mississippi Braves (Class AA; Southern League). The wraparound concourse, luxury boxes, big scoreboard and varied concessions are all standard issue for a new minor-league ballpark these days. So why aren't we more excited about the two-year-old ballpark? Because there's nothing unique about it: except for a few Southern menu items at the concessions, there's nothing to link the ballpark to its surroundings. At a Mississippi Braves game, you could be watching a game anywhere -- and going local is one of the great joys of the minor leagues. Dustin Mattison reports.Alliance Bank Stadium, Syracuse ChiefsThe biggest news at Alliance Bank Stadium, the home of the Syracuse Chiefs (Class AAA; International League): the current artificial turf will be replaced by real grass. That's good news for Syracuse baseball fans in terms of aesthetics, as well as players who need to field on an old, sometimes unpredictable surface. Otherwise, Alliance Bank Stadium is a perfectly serviceable ballpark: the Chiefs front office does things the old-fashioned way (i.e., not much in terms of between-innings shenanigans), but the ballpark is a comfortable place to watch a game, and the food is pretty good.

N., Fargo. Newman is on the northwest side of the North Dakota State University campus near the Fargodome (indeed, the NDSU baseball team is the other prime tenant), and in general if you follow signs to the Fargodome you'll make it to Newman. It's also easy to find on its own. If you're coming from Interstate 94, go north on Interstate 29 to 19th Ave. (exit 67), then go east on 19th Avenue. Hang a right on Albrecht Blvd. and then watch for Newman on the right.RatingIf you're read some of the ballpark descriptions, you know that I sometimes relate a highly personal perspective. Confession: I proposed to my soon-to-be wife at Newman Outdoor Field on September 12, 1998. I suppose most women wouldn't consider Newman to be the most romantic setting in the world, but what the hell -- it ended up being a perfect moment. My son Sean (who was clued to the impending engagement beforehand) giggled as he handed the engagement ring to Courtney, and then he told me to kiss her. I did. After we finished off a spiff of champagne smuggled into the stadium, we settled down to watch the rest of the game, won by the RedHawks.So it's probably no surprise that Newman Outdoor Field is one of my favorite stadiums on the planet (although many would be surprised to find out that the Wade in Duluth is actually my favorite). At one time Newman was the nicest ballpark in the Northern League, a brick shrine to baseball, but recent spate of new ballparks in the league pushed Newman Outdoor from the of the listStill, Newman Outdoor is a great place to watch a game. It's a comfortable ballpark: The concession stands are all on a concourse level in the back of the grandstand, so you can head up for some food and still have a great view of the game. All the seats in the grandstand have arms and beverage holders, with 12 luxury boxes looming overhead. Between innings, Ole the trained Norwegian fetches baseballs for the umpires and comments on the action from his on-field rocking chair. Aside from St. Paul's Midway Stadium, Newman is the Northern League field most likely to be sold out, so if you're heading up for the weekend call ahead for tickets.More news aboutNewman Outdoor Stadium / Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks ----->HistoryFargo was an original Northern League team in 1902. With nicknames like the Grain Growers and the Fargo Nines, Fargo competed in several early incarnations of the Northern League, winning a championship in 1915 and comfortably in first place when the Northern League disbanded in 1917.A Fargo-Moorhead franchise was a cornerstone of the Northern League when it reformed in 1933, continuing in the league through 1962, when it was moved to Bismarck-Mandan. The Fargo-Moorhead Twins were affiliated with Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and the Yankees in that period, winning three league championships and featuring players like Jim "Mudcat" Grant, Bob Feller (for one game) and hometown hero Roger Maris, then known as Roger Maras.The team's long-time home was Barnett Field in north Fargo, located on the current location of Fargo North High School.ConcessionsMost of the concessions are located on the concourse in back of the seating bowl, so you can head for a snack without missing the action.For the most part, the concessions offer standard ballpark fare at two main stands. The $1.50 Coverdale Farms hot dogs are pretty decent; you can also buy a foot-long version, complete with chili and cheese, for $3.50. The shredded-pork sandwich is a bargain at $3.75. On a cold night, a bowl of beer-cheese soup or chili ($3) would hit the spot, and you know you're in North Dakota with macaroni salad ($2) on the menu. Other offerings at the two stands include popcorn, peanuts, candy, Cracker Jacks, peanuts and soft pretzels. Beer is sold at only one of the main stands. And you can't go to a game and not have a spicy pickled egg. Two dollars will get you the egg, pretzels and a pepper.Also on the concourse level are several freestanding concessionaires, selling fresh cotton candy, freshly baked cookies, Domino's pizza, beers of the world (on tap: Summit, Sam Adams, Heineken and Amstel Light), tacos and more.Down the left-field line is a hamburger stand and picnic area, and the Budweiser beer garden.For the KidsThere's a large play area down the first-base line. Parent can still see the action (to an extent) while watching the game.SmokingThere's an official smoking area in the concourse area down the third-base line, but it's a very small area that ends up discouraging smoking. Cigars are accepted.ParkingThere's plenty of parking in the large lot south of the ballpark, and there's a smaller lot east of the stadium.Where to StayThere's nothing within walking distance of the stadium, but Fargo's west side features many affordable hotels; most notable is the Ramada Plaza (1635 42nd St. S., 701-277-9000), which is across the street from the West Acres Mall. Within walking distance of downtown Fargo's nightlife is the Radisson Hotel Fargo (201 5th St. N., 701-232-7363; $80 per night) and the Hotel Donaldson (101 Broadway; 701/478-1000; 888/478-8768), the new upscale hotel that features heated floors and fluffy comforters.Before the GameAs mentioned earlier, Roger Maris grew up in Fargo and was a star at Fargo Shanley High School and with the Fargo-Moorhead Twins. The Roger Maris Museum at West Acres Mall was revamped last year, and it's a pretty decent overview of Maris' career, featuring memorabilia donated by his family, magazine covers from the era showing Maris' impact on the game (and it was more extensive than you would thing), and a video room showing highlights from his career. Maris isn't in the National Baseball Hall of Fame, but he had a pretty decent career highlighted by two monster years in 1960 and 1961; he will always be remembers for breaking Babe Ruth's home-run record in 1961 --- the year where he was lionized and reviled by the media, fans and the baseball establishment.After the GameDowntown's Broadway Avenue is the center of nightlife in Fargo, where there's something for everyone.On the high end: Martini culture finally reached Fargo, which means either a) martini culture has finally run its course, or b) Fargo is a lot hipper than most of us thought. It's probably a combination of the two. The local martini culture is lead by the Hotel Donaldson (101 Broadway; 701/478-1000; 888/478-8768), where the HoDo lounge features a variety of martinis and attractive barkeeps to serve them shaken, not stirred. The restaurant has won plaudits from critics and locals alike. By Fargo standards, it's very stylish.In the same vein is Monte's (220 Broadway), an upscale and small restaurant. The small bar features 35 custom martinis, and the food is highly acclaimed.If downscale is more your style, don't worry -- Fargo has a rich tradition of downscale. Jim Lauerman's is a downtown bar known for its pickled eggs and pretzels. Rooter's features incredibly cheap beer (a bottle of Coors goes for $1.90) and blackjack.Right in the middle of the road: Old Broadway (22 Broadway; 701/ 237-6161), where the restaurant side serves up great burgers and grilled entrees, with the bar side attracting a crowd seeking dancing and sports.Reopening later this summer: the Great Northern Brewery, located in a converted downtown train station. The brewery should open in June.On the Moorhead side of the river is theRed Bear Grill & Tavern (700 1st Av.; 218/287-0080), which seems to have escaped national notice but is extremely popular with locals. The Red Bear Grill is housed in a lovingly renovated WPA building that served many years as the home of the Moorhead American Legion; the area next to the building used to serve as a zoo of sorts that featured a popular attraction, Bruno the Bear. The zoo is long gone, but the remnants of the bear cage have been worked into the renovated building.
