| I went to the old Dwyer Stadium
in 1993, just 2 years before it was torn down and replaced by the new Dwyer
Stadium in the exact same spot. The park did not meet minor league
specs, so the team obviously felt it would be better just to build a new
park. Old Dwyer Stadium may not have been in the best condition, but it
was still a fine place to see a game. The small wooden grandstand was a
classic - the only one similar to it that still remains is that at Wahconah
Park in Pittsfield. Besides the grandstand there were wooden bleachers
down both lines. Concessions were located behind the grandstand and bleachers
sections. Old Dwyer Stadium was just a nice, quaint, charming place to
watch a game.
