As the baseball season winds down, spend a day at Coca-Cola Field, home of the Buffalo Bisons. Architect HOK designed the old-school ballpark to fit into its downtown neighborhood, a model that would later be embraced by cities around the nation. Opened in 1988 as Pilot Field, the stadium later became Dunn Tire Park, then North AmeriCare Park before becoming Coca-Cola Field in 2009. The name will change again at the end of this season.
