The park, which opened in 2000, has a capacity of 6,412. It is the home of the Tennessee Smokies of the Southern League. Smokies Park was constructed as a replacement facility for the since shuttered Bill Meyer Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee. ==Features== Three flag poles are erected behind the waterfall portion of the nature scene. Depending on the day, a white flag with a blue W may fly alongside the prerequisite state and American flags. Since 2007 the Smokies have been a Cubs affiliate and the "win" flag is one of many traditions that make Chicago's "Friendly Confines" the baseball shrine that it is. Just like at Wrigley Field, the Smokies copycat version flaps following victories by the home team.〔 Just like the playing field, the grandstand is symmetrical and it extends well down the outfield lines, where stadium-style seats give way to bleachers with backs. All chair back seats contain cup holders and are painted dark green.〔 For those within the confines of Smokies Park, 18 suites satisfy the desires of all who wish to watch the game from "up above." Each 300-square-foot suite holds 20 people and has a balcony with a dozen stadium-style seats. Suite dimensions are 20' deep by 13' wide.〔 Party porches bookend the suites. Copper Cellar Clubhouse (first base) and Davey Crockett Porch (third base), each porch measures 33' deep by 28' wide (about 900 square feet) and has stadium seating for 26 people with 11 elevated patio chairs placed directly behind the two rows of regular seats. The porches are open-air but covered by the stadium's roof.〔 A large high-definition video board excels at keeping fans informed and entertained from behind the berm in left field, where the main scoreboard is stationed. The 36' wide by 17' high HD-X LED video display was installed in 2008 and displays crisp player pictures and real-time stats. Beneath it is a 36' x 9' line score.〔 In left field there is a porch that was completed during the 2014 season. It is operated by Calhoun's which is where it got its name,"Calhoun's at the Yard". New to the 2015 season is the Pioneer Porch in right field. It is much smaller than "Calhoun's at the Yard" but still is specialized for group outings. In the right field corner of the ballpark is "Homer's Playland", named after the Smokies' newest mascot, Homer the Hound. The area consists of a slide, obstacle course, 2 moon bounces (big and small), a Homerun Challenge, Speed Pitch, and a prize wheel. Parents can purchase a single ticket for one thing or buy a wristband and get unlimited slide, both moon bounces, and obstacle course until the Top of the 8th when the Playland closes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Smokies Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
