RESPECT THE STADIUM
As we celebrate 50 years of memories at historic Dudy Noble Field during the final regular season series, and look ahead with hopes for the postseason, we ask fans to be respectful of the facility and refrain from defacing the stadium or taking any mementos from the Diamond Dawg's home. As we look to the future of Dudy Noble Field, many historical aspects of the facility will be repurposed as a part of our new home, and items that are not going to be repurposed will be made available for fans at an appropriate time.
