Welcome to the Corn Crib

Our real estate agent invited us to go to a baseball game last night with him and his wife. The city of normal has a Frontier League team called the Normal Cornbelters and they play in a brand new facility called, of course, the Corn Crib. This season, the team record is 32 W - 41 L.



We had awesome first baseline seats right behind the dugout. There were dark clouds around the crib, but the rain held off until the 8th inning. We decided to leave due to the rain and the fact that the Cornbelters were up 4 to 2. I opened the paper this morning to see that the Lake Erie Crushers tied it up in the 9th and the game ended up going 13 innings, resulting in a loss for the Cornbelters. We had a good time and will definitely be heading back for another game.

Here is a bad camera phone picture from our seats. Our small digital camera has died, we need to buy another so I don't have to keep posting these bad pictures!

  2. That's fantastic - same way we felt about the 'sand gnats' when we moved.

  3. WOW! You're (somewhat) close to the Cubs, White Sox, Cardinals, AND the Cornbelters?!?! Who knew!?! :) I'll add them to my list of teams I want to see play when I come visit!
