Campbells Field has one of the most unique locations in baseball, in the shadow of the Ben Franklin Bridge between Downtown Camden and Downtown Philadelphia. One of the massive suspension cable anchors site beyond the left field fence, and from the first base stands, one can see the span of this huge bridge, and the Philly Skyline across the river.
The bridge dominates the entire ballpark, and provides some interesting views. I for one am drawn to the clatter and rumble of the PATCO trains shuttling across the bridge between downtown Philly and the South Jersey suburbs. In fact, the bridge can be something of a distraction from the main event- the ballgame!
