I went to see Casper's game at Billings Tuesday night.

Casper had a rough time, giving up nine runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. The game was called with one out in the bottom of the fifth inning due to rain. The half inning started with a little hail, then the rain came in from the north over the mountains, towards Billings.

Dehler Field is a nice two-year-old ballpark, replacing legendary Cobb Field in BIllings, but the stadium had two issues that came up. When the rain started to fall, there was no covering over the concourse to protect fans. There were some small covers over some of the seating sections, but was ineffective during this quick burst of rain.

Also, for a two-year-old park, the stadium does not have a roll-out tarp to cover the infield. The bullpens down the foul line barely fit in foul territory (not built behind the outfield wall), and I was surprised during the downpour that Billings only had a cover for the pitchers mound and home plate. The entire field became flooded within 20-25 minutes and the game was called.

Quite a big difference between the majors and rookie level.

I think that is the same with the Lansing Stadium in Casper

These “stadiums” are about the same as DII college stadiums or high school fields with bleachers and a fence around them to make people buy tickets.
