Not sure what's going on here. I know it's Griffith Stadium, some opening day ceremony perhaps?

Not in the majors, but I could see a minor-league team doing it.

eh... maybe. Even at the minor league level though, people just expect some level of "professional" comfort. I live in Portland now, and I lived in Norfolk before this, and both stadiums (while decidedly smaller than an MLB stadium) live up to MLB stadium expectations.
...Maybe in A ball or something, but that's a completely different class of "pro" sports. Semi-Pro would really be a better description.

Some images I used for my generic pics have grassy knoll seating in the background, I think where outfield bleachers would normally be.
