Some cool Field images:

Cincinnati: Cinergy Field

Field

Cinergy Field, formerly known as Riverfront Stadium, was the home of the Cincinnati Reds and the Cincinnati Bengals. Located on the Ohio River in downtown Cincinnati, Riverfront Stadium was the 3rd of the National League̢۪s infamous "cookie-cutter" stadiums. It was the first stadium to have its entire field covered by Astroturf, except for the cutouts around the bases and pitcher̢۪s mound.

Before Riverfront Stadium opened on June 30, 1970, the Reds had spent 58 years playing at intimate Crosley Field. In 1997, Cinergy Corporation, a Cincinnati based utility, reached an agreement with the Reds to rename the stadium. When the Bengals moved to Paul Brown Stadium, Riverfront was reconfigured as a basbeall only stadium. Cinergy Field was demolished in 2000 to make way for the Great American Ballpark.

High Spen, UK. I am hoping this will be full of yellow blooms in the spring! It's probably hard to see in this size jpg, but there's a small flock of black birds scrounging around in the distant upper right side of the field.

Sting - Fields of Gold (1993)

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We 'll walk in the fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
