| Riverside Stadium (now named Commerce Bank Park) is home
of the Harrisburg Senators of the Eastern League. Though certainly not
one of the nicer parks in the league, its scenic location does make up
some for the atmosphere the park is lacking. Set on an island off the city,
its location is very unique. The only problem with this seems to be the
problem with many bugs at night. The park itself is very ordinary. A metal
covered grandstand sits behind homeplate with metal bleachers down both
lines. The only box seats are situated down both lines, but are only about
5 rows deep. There is a concourse area behind homeplate that has one concession
stand and there is a grill area on the first base side. They have done
a nice job renovating the exterior of the park, though the seating sections
could really use some work as well. Not one of my favorites in the Eastern
League. An extensive renovation to get the park up to AAA specs has been discussed, but so far no work has begun.
