| - First time back to Cashman since it opened in the early '80s when it was home to the Las Vegas Stars.
I was pleasantly surprised. All in all it's in pretty good shape. I know, from a player's standpoint, it's lacking. But for the fan, not bad.
The folks working there (and there seemed to be hundreds) were all friendly and helpful. The price of admission is very reasonable. The park was very clean. The only negative was it would have been nice to see some sort of security in the parking lots, especially at the conclusion a night game.
Of course, not everything is perfect inside the gates. I would have used Wi-Fi if it were available (although my T-Mobile signal was very strong). The markups in the gift shop were a bit much...$30 for a t-shirt? And a ballpark staple, the hot dog, was just this side of horrible. Undercooked, barely warm...it wasn't worth the $1 I paid (certain foods are $1 on Mondays...but couldn't find a list of what was included anywhere).
I've been to quite a few minor league games across the country...why is it teams think fans need to be entertained between half innings? It's all pretty amateur, at best, anyway. It was no different here.
All in all, the team puts together a nice product. I'd definitely return. And I think it's a nice wholesome product for a family outing.
