under the bleachers

Even though I'm not a big sports fan I'm a huge fan of the spaces beneath the bleachers (and not for the reasons you might think).

The hidden space created there; the muffled noise and din of feet and voices overhead; the blast bright lights slicing through the slats into the dark; the smell of wood and dirt; the chill of night games, Fall in the air.

there's no place like home(plate)
