4/8/2006 - NotTheFisherCatsStadium! The stadium has been
renamed to MerchantsAuto.com Stadium.
The New Hampshire Fisher Cats are an AA Eastern League
afiiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays. The stadium opened on April 7,
2005 after eleven months of construction at a cost of $20 million.
It seats 6,900 people.
The original name of the Fisher Cats was the New Hampshire
Primaries. I thought it was a very creative and fun name
for the club. Most people in the area, however, did not like the
name and there was a popular revolt. The management relented and
put the team name up for a vote: Fisher Cats won. The cache
name reflects my longing for the original team name as well as a
"tip of the hat" to the organizer of the Bread & Roses Geo Event at which this cache
was first published.
The cache is a 2-quart Lock & Lock container with Fisher
Cats and other baseball-related trading items. Please
restrict all trades to baseball-related items. I would like
this cache to remain a baseball themed cache.
Please Note
- You may want to bring along a pair of leather gloves. You don't
need them to find the cache, but they may come in handy as you are
searching. In other words, you don't have to touch or put your
hands anywhere that I wouldn't without leather gloves.
- You don't have to get your feet (or any other part of your
person) wet in order to find the cache.
- You should avoid this cache on game days since nearby parking
will be hard to come by and expensive. You can find a schedule
here.
- This is a 2-quart lock & lock. It's not a micro or a
small. Keep this in mind as you're searching!
