BILLINGS MUSTANGS VS HELENA BREWERS

This was a rematch of the two teams we saw in Helena four days ago. Dehler Park in downtown Billings is a well designed facility. I think it's the best we've seen in the Pioneer League so far. There would be no doubt about it if they didn't have the view from so many seats blocked by safety netting.

On the other hand, they score very highly for their wide concourse which circles the entire playing field. This allows fans to watch from just about anywhere in the outfield, something most minor league parks (and some major league parks) don't provide.  Dehler Park also had the best ballpark food we've encountered anywhere in the U.S. or Canada.

HELENA BREWERS VS. BILLINGS MUSTANGS

Kindrick Legion Field, Helena, MT

The Helena Brewers hosted the Billings Mustangs at Kindrick Legion Field. This ballpark opened in 1932 and went through several renovations since then. It's an old park but a pleasant place to see a game.

At least it would be if not for a pack of drunken men and women who sat in the bleachers on the first base side. Their behavior was appalling. The men cursed and taunted the visiting Mustangs most of the night while the women made numerous sexually suggestive remarks. This coarse behavior was displayed before several young children sitting in the same section. When the father of a couple of the children voiced his displeasure, the drunken men tried to pick a fight with him.
