Estadio de Beisbol Monterrey is a 21,900-seat stadium that opened in 1990. The elevation of the ballpark is a little more than 2,000 feet. The air is dry and hot, and with a game time temperature of 90 degrees, air density index of 55, and the wind blowing out to left-center, the atmosphere appears inviting for offense. Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright, who will start Saturday's game in the Cardinals' first ever Mexico Series, bounced a few baseballs to get a feel for the rebound (the stadium has an artificial turf field and a dirt infield). He held a baseball as high as his right arm would allow, and called on anyone nearby, "Hey, watch this," he said - dropped the baseball and watched it rebound to about his waist. "That's something. I expect.. crazy," Wainwright said Friday, sitting in the dugout at Estadio de Beisbol Monterrey. "I expect it's going to be loud and it's going to be awesome." As Wainwright showed with his bounces, the ball will rebound high and quick. The turf is fast, the infield is hard, and the dimensions are friendly. The walls are close and symmetrical - 325 feet down the line, 400 to dead center, and 360 in the alleys. "Win win," said one Cardinals pitcher (for the hitters). "Looks fast," one Cardinal said Friday, and described how the ballpark is built for home runs and has a runway as an infield. Oh, and foul territory has no space to steal outs.
