| - They say it's the best ballpark in the Minors, and while I haven't been to enough stadiums to back up that claim, I have a hard time seeing how any other setting could equal this one. With the impressive Charlotte skyline as a backdrop, a great view from almost every seat, and a selection of craft beer that showcases North Carolina's best breweries, the ballgame is almost background noise at BB&T Park.
Whether you have club seats behind home plate, a cheap seat in the outfield, or a pass to one of the impressive luxury suites, you'll feel closer to the action than at any MLB park in America. And instead of paying major league ticket prices, you can take the entire family to a Knights game for under $100, including parking, food and beer.
I visit BB&T Park at least a couple of times each season, and often spend more time wandering the concourse with a hot dog and a beer than I do watching the game from my seat. The food selection is fantastic, with everything from Chick-fil-a and salad bars to great Carolina BBQ, burgers, nachos and dogs. And the beer choices are FANTASTIC, with everything from local favorites (NoDa, Olde Meck) to regional brews like Foothills and Natty Greene's.
Parking near the stadium is plentiful and reasonably priced, and tickets for most games are easy to get, even up to first pitch. You may want to plan ahead for Fireworks Nights (particularly on July 4th), but generally, you can drop by the box office on a whim and enjoy a ballgame whenever the Knights are in town.
BB&T Ballpark is one of the reasons I absolutely love living in Charlotte. Whether you're a Queen City resident or just in town for business or pleasure, don't miss the chance to check out one of minor league baseball's crown jewels.
