Braves vs. Diamondbacks: Where My Love Began by Jessica Snow | Coming Home: Fan Memories

My Baseball Story

Shared Memories From

Jessica Snow

Hometown

Cave Creek, Arizona

Some of my favorite memories have been at baseball stadiums. My first game was watching the Braves at the Diamondbacks, and my little sister and both of us experienced going to our first big league game and seeing our favorite players. Every time I go to a game, I’m always wide-eyed and excited to be at the stadium, trying to soak in every moment of being there. It will never lose its magic.

Brian D. Oakes is an artist known for his intricate depictions of sports stadiums. A lifelong New Yorker, he relocated to Seattle in 2022, inspired by the city’s architecture, specifically the Space Needle. His passion for landmarks like the Chrysler Building and Brooklyn Bridge shapes his artistic approach. Brian has collaborated with major sports leagues and teams, but a defining moment in his career was working on the creative designs and stadium naming rights presentations for Seattle’s new football stadium. This experience solidified his belief in the deep connection between stadiums and the memories they hold, shaping his unique blend of art and architecture.
