The wall is 25 feet high, and ivy covered, from foul ground in left field to left center, and 8 feet elsewhere in the outfield. Atop the 25-foot wall is actually the 18th Avenue sidewalk, from which pedestrians can watch some of the game.
The major league team will be nicknamed the Explorers. The minor-league affiliates are as follows:
AAA: Eugene Ducks
AA: Salem Cherries
A: Bend Beavers
RL: Sunrise Gators
