This is a good start, but I'd like to point out several aspects of other articles that you might like to implement in this article. Also note that this article is an order of magnitude better than the other ACC Baseball Stadium articles. I'm just trying to help.
Logical sections are important; separating out the history, naming, attendance, and field dimensions is important. Now that it's broken into sections, you can see that you didn't have as much content there as you thought. This gives you a chance to fill in some more details and expand the article :)
The article has a few external links, but doesn't cite any references. To cite a ref, add <ref>[http://website.com description of ref]</ref> to the appropriate part of the text. See
WP:Citing sources (shortcut:
WP:REF) on how to use footnotes. It's good to use web sources, because people can have a look at them. Also look at
Medlar Field at Lubrano Park's Reference Section.
It's not necessary to explain each external link - simply state the name of the link. Bullet link lists.
The physical location of the field isn't listed. Do so with {{Geolinks-US-hoodscale}}. I found an even better template on
AT&T Park: {{coord|display=inline,title|37|46|42.14|N|122|23|22.88|W|type:landmark_scale:2000}} Google Earth then tells me the stadium is at 33 deg 46'38.93" N, 84 deg 23'41.19" W. :)
The infobox needs some fields filled in; I did what I could with it. Namely:
a picture of the stadium
specific groundbreaking, opening dates
the field size needs to be converted to meters
any other field in the infobox you know (just remove the comment bits around it and fill it in)
it looks like you can split up "seats" into subsections, e.g., "chairback" "standing only" etc. having the number there by itself doesn't look quite right.
Thanks! Your input is appreciated -- this article is very much a work in progress, and it's really the first time I've tried building a wiki article on my own. I'll see what I can do to implement your ideas. Of course, this being wiki, you are welcome to make changes/corrections too!

I noticed -- thanks! Hey, is there a way to adjust the width of the info box to make it a little wider, like the width of the info box in you Medlar Field example? Also, I've got some photos of the stadium that I could incorporate -- are there recommendations for sizing these photos?

I'm pretty sure the box will stretch to fit the picture. You can upload a pic by using the "upload pic" link to the left. Be sure to state the license on the picture, or it'll get deleted in 7 days. Then you can put the uploaded picture into the box, and make the article that much nicer :) —

I've adjusted the metric lengths in the info box to reflect the correct number of significant figures (I'm an engineer -- can't help myself).

No, they prefer to sell them at $5 - $7 a copy; surprisingly enough they did post the 2004 and 2005 media guides online in broken-up pdf format, but I'm hesitant to link to that because they could disappear at any time or the urls could be changed without notice —Preceding
