White. Notes: Located on the site of previous ballparks that have hosted professional baseball in Pennsylvania's state capital, Metro Bank Park is situated on the 62 acre City Island in the middle of Susquehanna River. Flooding, in 1996, left the field submerged in icy water just weeks before the season. The number 42 on the left field remains as a tribute to Jackie Robinson, from the 50th anniversary of Robinson's breaking into the major leagues. The naming rights for RiverSide Stadium were sold to a regional bank, Commerce Bank, prior to the 2004 season, in a $3.5 million, 15-year deal and rebranded to current name prior to the 2009 season. In two-year renovation and expansion project, the ballpark was taken down to the foundations, then built into a modern facility in time for the 2010 season
