The Duck Pond is one of the hidden Gems of Baseball. I played at the Duck Pond (formerly Warner Park) back in the 80's. Back then, it was your typical run down Minor League Park. It was nothing but a Grandstand and a plain Outfield wall. But times have changed. Baseball fans demand more than just a playing field and seats. The renovations that have been done are nothing short of amazing. The Duck Pond is now a state of the art Minor League Stadium that could easily accommodate a Double A team.
One of the beautiful things about Minor League Baseball is how affordable it is. Tickets for Madison Mallards games start at $8. You can't buy a bag of peanuts at Wrigley Field for 8 bucks. The City of Madison has done a wonderful job modernizing the Duck Pond. The Stadium features a full Video-Scoreboard, a grass berm for seating past the left field wall, plenty of concession stands and bathrooms. It has just about everything a Baseball fanatic could want.
Here's the bottom line: If you're a baseball junkie like me, you need to make a trip to the Duckpond. Its affordable fun for the entire family.
