Dr Pepper Ballpark has the look and feel of a community village. Walking trails connect six two-story "pavilions," which look like a more polished version of the mini-houses in Kannapolis. The top floor of the pavilions house the ballpark's suites, with the bottom floor containing the bathrooms and concessions. The press box is located in the large multi-story pavilion behind home plate. It's these house-like structures that ensure Frisco of one of the more unique ballpark designs in baseball.
The pavilions and seating bowl are separated by a wide, open-air concourse that wraps the ballpark, and the bullpens are built into the stands. With stadium seating from foul pole to foul pole (plus two sections hugging the pole in left) and berm seating encompassing the outfield, there's not a bleacher seat in sight. The Riders, as they are generally referred to, also have a state of the art video board in left center
