We started making our way back home today. We had one final stop in Syracuse, NY to watch the Syracuse Chiefs play the Scranton Wilkes-Barre RailRiders for some Triple A baseball.

You would barely notice that you were entering New York State.

NBT Bank Stadium in Syracuse.

Some funky horse as you walk into the stadium.

Looking back up towards the concourse.

The Syracuse Chiefs are the Triple A affiliate of the Washington Nationals. They were down early to the Scranton Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, here is the first run coming home to score. The RailRiders are the NY Yankees farm team.

The starting pitcher for Syracuse, A.J. Cole.

The view from the concourse. The Chiefs rallied back a couple of times to take the lead for good in the bottom of the 7th.

The field has natural turf, from 1997-2007 the field was Astroturf. The Syracuse Chiefs were the Triple A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays from 1978 to 2008.

A view from our seats, we were in row 1 seats 1-4. We had to look around the obstruction to see certain angles of the field but still good seats.

It also made it easy to get a game ball from Chiefs catcher Jhonatan Solano. As the girls will tell you I wrestled it away from an old guy sitting next to us. He was tossing it to me in my new Syracuse Chiefs ball cap.

It was a tight game, if you consider 4 errors by the home team, it shouldn’t have been.

They went through a string of relievers.

It was a great game, we like going to the minor league parks to watch games. The ticket prices are cheap, the food is good and the beer is cheaper. The final score was 7-6 for the Chiefs.
