(Waldorf, MD): The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs baseball organization is proud to announce that Regency Furniture Stadium has been recently featured on Ballpark Digest. Ballpark Digest is one of the most recognizable online publications for major and minor league baseball, and is considered a bible in reference to professional baseball in general.

"This is truly a great honor. It is very gratifying to be recognized by such a distinguished media outlet," said Southern Maryland Blue Crabs President and General Manager Patrick Day. "From our entire front office and organization, I'd like to thank Ballpark Digest for all of their kind words about our facility, and for visiting us. Charles County has done an incredible service to this community by bringing this stadium to us. We are a very proud group today."

The unique look of Regency Furniture Stadium, straying from the beaten path of typical ballpark design, is what stood out first to Ballpark Digest. With its distinctive barn design to reflect Southern Maryland, the website proclaims "the ballpark itself is an absolute gem and the Blue Crabs create a fan-friendly experience."

Other excerpts from the Ballpark Digest review:

"For as nice as the outfield is, it pales in comparison to the seating bowl, which is very nicely designed. At approximately 4,200 seats, it makes for an intimate setting wherein no section feels too far from the field. In addition, it offers comfortable rows and seats, which are angled perfectly towards the field."

"Down the right-field line is a large Kids Area that should please the whole family, not only because of the amount of activities, but for the fact that it provides a good view of the field and is well protected from hard hit foul balls."

"When traveling through the Baltimore/Washington area, a visit to Regency Furniture Stadium is a must for any baseball fan. It is a well-designed stadium that features a great game day experience."

As a publication known for its interest in special feature promotions, Ballpark Digest raved about the new family fireworks initiative saying, "During the doubleheader featured in this story, the fireworks were launched after the fifth inning of game two with the stadium lights still on. Surprisingly, this did not limit the effect of the show and while it did mean stopping the game, the fireworks were launched efficiently enough to not make the pause feel too stretched out."
