Eastwood Field has a somewhat unique configuration. The luxury boxed grandstands
hug the 1st baseline up until 1st base itself, though on the 3rd base line, they
shorten up considerably, ending not far past the beginning of the dugout. There
are 9 suites on the right side of the grandstand but only 3 on the left. The
slightly un-0rthodox setup gives the ballpark a little more "personality" than
if it had been built in a more symmetrical fashion. Along with professional baseball,
Eastwood Field has been home to dozens of major concerts and attractions
including bands such as Bad Company, Kansas, Foreigner, Kenny Rogers, the Village
People, Kool & The Gang, The Beach Boys, Ja Rule, 98 Degrees, B*Witched and
Nelly as well as the annual Ribs and Music festival, classic car shows, the Youngstown
Symphony Orchestra, Championship Boxing and dozens of other major events.
