Just like the playing field, the grandstand is symmetrical and it extends well down the outfield lines, where stadium-style seats give way to bleachers with backs. All chair back seats contain cup holders and are painted dark green. The park has 18 suites located above the seating bowl. Each 300-square-foot suite holds 20 people and has a balcony with a dozen stadium-style seats. Suite dimensions are 20 feet deep by 13 feet wide. Party porches bookend the suites. Copper Cellar Clubhouse and Davey Crockett Porch, each porch measures 33 feet deep by 28 feet wide and has stadium seating for 26 people with 11 elevated patio chairs placed directly behind the two rows of regular seats. The porches are open-air but covered by the stadium's roof. Another porch, Calhoun's at the Yard completed in 2014, is located in left field. Pioneer Porch, added in 2015, is a smaller porch in right field suitable for group outings. The park's scoreboard, stationed behind the left field berm, features a large high-definition video board. The 36-foot wide by 17-foot high HD-X LED video display was installed in 2008 and displays crisp player pictures and real-time stats. Beneath it is a 36-foot by 9-foot broad which displays the line score. In the right field corner of the ballpark is "Homer's Playland", named after the Smokies' newest mascot, Homer the Hound. The area consists of a slide, obstacle course, 2 moon bounces, a Homerun Challenge, Speed Pitch, and a prize wheel. Parents can purchase a single ticket for one attraction or buy a wristband and get unlimited slide, both moon bounces, and obstacle course until the top of the eighth inning when the Playland closes. Three flag poles are erected behind the waterfall portion of the nature scene. Depending on the day, a white flag with a blue "W" may fly alongside the prerequisite state and American flags. Since 2007, the Smokies have been a Cubs affiliate and the "win" flag is one of many traditions that make Chicago's "Friendly Confines" the baseball shrine that it is. Just like at Wrigley Field, the Smokies copycat version flaps following victories by the home team.
Attendance records
The ballpark's single-game attendance record was set on May 13, 2017, when 7,958 people watched the Smokies play the Montgomery Biscuits on Star Wars Night. The Tennessee Smokies beat the Chattanooga Lookouts 10–7 on April 20, 2000, in front of 7,318 fans in the first game at the ballpark. On May 24, 2008, John Smoltz, then of the Atlanta Braves, made a rehab appearance with their Double-A affiliate Mississippi Braves. News of his appearance drew a crowd of 7,381 to the ballpark as the Smokies won 3–2. Smokies Park experienced a then record breaking crowd of 7,655 on July 3, 2009, against the Huntsville Stars. The Smokies won the intense game, 5–3, which included Hall of Fame manager Ryne Sandberg being ejected.
