| - One the prettier stadiums in Spring Training. Home of the Rangers/Royals. Parking is free but if you drive an RV. They make you park way out in the boonies. So bring your walking shoes.
Prices are high for food and drink. But we found a way to battle the high prices by buying a tent badge for $22 a person. After you already purchased a grass area ticket and are inside. The tent is located behind the right field wall. You can't miss it. It's a huge white tent.
Once inside, you are in the shade with a nice breeze. On this day it was the hottest day of the week. So being in the shade made watching the game comfortable. They have round tables surrounded by chairs and counter seating facing the field to watch the game.
Besides the shaded seating and a great view of the game. They feed you and give you a cocktail or soda included with your tent badge. At this game, it was catered by a local Mexican restaurant. Beans, rice, tortilla chips, beef taquitos, chicken enchiladas and carne asada tacos with all the toppings (salsa, guacamole, shredded cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, cilantro) and they also had for dessert- apple pie taquitos and chocolate taquitos. A very nice spread indeed.
So while guys are buying $1.49 PBR tallboys for $9.50 at the ballpark. You are eating and drinking for $22. Remember though, only one drink with your badge. After that. You are paying for drinks like everyone else at the park but you do have your own tent bartender. So there is no line to get a drink.
The tent staff is nice. The price is right. The food is good and filling. Great view of the game behind right field. If I come to a game again in this stadium. I am doing this again. Oh yeah. The Pads beat the Rangers 11-6. Go Padres!!
