I know deuce is gonna be disappointed that Yokohama stadium would show up this early in the countdown but it was only a last minute change that got it this high. I ended up moving Seibu Dome down a spot because it does have some security and a roof. Yokohama does not have the disadvantage of a roof. It also all but lacks the "presence" of security which is awesome! You can pretty much walk right in with bags of beer. A huge plus! What Yokohama is lacking is much personality. It's fairly generic. The most remarkable feature of the ballpark is the oddly shaped lights. The concessions are sparse. I mean, really sparse. There's like one place. Pretty weak. Another problem is that in the outfield, the stands are stupid sharply angled. During a rain game I bailed on my ass while walking down the stairs, and I bailed hard, it was hilarious. You'd think that this would give you some decent sight lines, however, take a look at this view...
Although these obstructed view seats aren't numerous, they are pretty lame. The one good thing that Yokohama has to offer is that you are very, very unlikely to end up with one of these seats because one thing that Yokohama doesn't suffer from is what you might call "crowding"
yeah, this is actually during a game...I will say that I do enjoy Yokohama, it's convenient for me (easy to get to from the Keihintouhoku line via Kannai station (京浜東北線、関内駅) and of course it's also located near Chinatown (中華街), Minatomirai (みなと未来), Yamashita Park (山下公園), Foreigner Cemetery (外人墓地), and the bay. It's a good place to spend a summer day with smuggled beer and some homies. There is a very high chance of rain as it seems 99% of Baystars games experience some amount of rainfall... odd.
