Fidelity Financial Stadium, home of the Jacksonville Gators

Fidelity Financial Stadium, casually known as “The Swamp” by fans in Jacksonville, is a neoclassical ballpark built in 1999 and was their first permanent home. The outfield walls are coated with ivy, a tradition the Gators are trying to claim as their own. The angular sections in the corners of the outfield have only a 3.5 foot wall, which leads to a lot more homeruns--and robbing of homeruns--than you would see in any other ballpark. The real unique feature of the stadium is the gator pond in the batters’ eye in center field which holds six American Alligators. Don’t worry, the pond is separated enough from the main concourse so that safety is not an issue. Surprisingly, no gator has been struck by a homerun ball, though John Adams, the leader in homeruns with 327, was rumored to turn batting practice into target practice in his playing days.

Did you know there are multiple alligator models in the 3D Warehouse? Also, you might notice that the day & night skylines aren't actually the same image - when looking for skyline images I noticed that Jacksonville has a particularly colorful skyline, which I wanted to make sure didn't get lost here.
