Great Fun

by rlyn4579

This is a great place for family fun. Buy the expensive tickets $9 ($7? to sit in the upper deck, $5 to sit on the lawn) and you get a seat behind the plate. You need to buy in advance if you don't want to sit on the lawn. Seats were comfortable in size. Sight Lines were excellent no matter what part of the ball park you sit in. Concessions offered everything from hot wings or cheesesteak to hotdogs, plus many drinks (margaritas, beer, and cola) and dessert options. Parking was nearby and very inexpensive. The only problem was that they should install some fans to get the air moving a little in the seats. There is even a swimming pool you can reserve.
