Bicentennial Park was the home of the Allentown Ambassadors of the Northeast League. I visited the stadium shortly after the team departed for New Haven, Connecticut. As of this writing, the stadium has no professional tenant.
It's a very basic stadium. A concrete grandstand behind home plate and erector set grandstands down each line. The ballpark looks sturdy, but worn and not a particularly comfortable place to see a game.
The outfield configuration is interesting as a street of houses runs beyond the outfield fence. The result is a very short center field and big screens all around to protect the windows of the neighbors.
The stands are very close to the field and I imagine that it is hard to feel more on top of the action at any other park. It seems a very intimate place.
I never saw a game there and the stadium gives the impression of slow decay and inevitable doom, but the quirkiness and intimacy makes me think I would have liked to see have seen it on gameday.
