The Senators home field was [[Admiral Mason Park]], a 2,000 seat stadium located on 9th Avenue at the edge of Pensacola Bay (what is now the corner of 9th and Bayfront Parkway). The stadium was actually a miserable place to watch baseball. A sewage treatment plant was located directly across the street which meant a westerly breeze could choke even the most loyal fan. The lone parking lot was small and the dusky, humid summer evenings mixed with a large body of water brought mosquitoes. Admiral Mason Park was nicknamed "Stinko Stadium."
The General Manaager in 1961 was '''Howard Schulman''' and in 1962 '''Doc McCormick.''' The owner was '''Joe Pannicione'''. In a list of the 25 greatest Alabama-Florida League teams, the 1962 Senators team was ranked third while the 1961 squad placed 21st. The Senators were preceded by the Dons (1957-1959), who would later be renamed the Angels (1960) and then the Senators (1961-1962).
