The concourse runs right up against the hill behind the grandstand.

Field box seating has been added in front of the backstop, creating sharp angles in the foul territory behind the plate.

Rail seating runs the length of the third base line, leading to a picnic area in the left field corner.

A mural in the picnic area celebrates the history of HomeTrust Park. It is one of the few fields left standing that once hosted Negro League baseball.

Tourists' championship banners hang over the concrete bleachers in the right field corner.

The clubhouse suite in the right field corner sits in the same building as the team store and clubhouses.

The bullpen features a small covered bench next to the 36 foot wall in right field.

The park's dimensions are limited by the hill behind it and the access road running up the hill, leading to the short dimensions and giant wall in right field.
