I spent my vacation in California and Nevada this year. Four years ago I attended my first minor league game and I fell in love immediately. So it was clear to me that I wanted to visit the Epicenter this year. 

The Epicenter is the home of the Dodgers' high A affiliate, the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes. The stadium is built on the San Andreas fault. It is claimed that this stadium can survive a heavy earthquake. The stadium is part of a sports facility of the city of Rancho Cucamonga. It is surrounded by three base- and softball fields. 

In the game that I attended, the Quakes hosted the Inland Empire 66ers (Angels). The game itself was very lopsided, since the Quakes pitching was beaten up. 

But the stadium itself was a true gem. A very well maintained and clean ballpark with possibly the most beautiful backdrop that you will ever see: the San Bernadino Mountains.

The food is good and not expensive. The Quakes' fanshop has plenty to offer. The entertainment between the innings is... well, entertaining. I am not fond of mascots, but the two mascots that the Quakes are sporting, Tremor and Aftershock are interacting with the fans very much.

The Quakes' fans are very passionate and support the team in a fair and positive way; at least that was how I experienced it. 

To keep a long story short: The Epicenter is a must see for every baseball stadium fanatic. 

Here are some pics that I made during my visit: http://www.ballparkchasers.com/photo/album/show?id=1681163%3AAlbum%...
