Misc. Burlington Bees notes:

  • The Bees staff uses Motorola P1225 radios with earpieces

In fact, I didn't see any PD at the game whatsoever despite there being 8,500 people in attendance).

Misc. Lansing Lugnuts scanner observations:

  • I attended a game in Lansing in 2005 but didn't bring the scanner due to Michigan's strict scanner laws. I saw many 1/4 wave UHF antennas on the staff radios. A private security company patrolled the stadium. The city parking lot attendant had an 800 MHz Motorola radio (probably on the city TRS).
