Video tour of new ballpark



If you get the time and you have the interest, check out the short video tour of the brand, spanking new Parkview Field home of the Fort Wayne TinCaps in downtown Fort Wayne, Ind., that I produced for News-Sentinel.com. I enlisted News-Sentinel sports columnist Reggie Hayes and his great sense of humor to help me pull this off.

The funny thing about the soundtrack is that on the day Reggie and I filmed the voice clips, the stadium was testing out the speaker system so there is quite a mix of different songs and audio clips throughout. Initially it was a bit frustrating, but we decided to roll with it, and everything worked out ok. We especially liked the timing of the "Phantom of the Opera" clip as we filmed the section from behind home plate.

In any case, check out the video, but more importantly, check out the ballpark. I cannot wait to shoot baseball in that place - just little more than 24 hours from now. The TinCaps, Class Low-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres, are selling standing room only ticket for Thursday's home opener that will feature an F-16 flyover, and fireworks after the game.
