  • So much potential... That basically sums up the stadium experience. Obviously if you don't live in Surprise or if you aren't a Kansas City Royals or Texas Rangers Die hard, the trek out here is strike one. Driving through Retirement City and hitting every light on Bell Road doesn't help. Like the park in Goodyear, this is a smaller park that I really think wants to have a great family & community appeal, but it doesn't. The stadium has a unique southern-style architecture to it. Some other Yelpers didn't care for it, but it made me think of older times, when baseball was truly king. It looks & feels nostalgic. However, it has a HUGE concourse that surrounds it, but not a kid-friendly booth anywhere. *NOTE - I don't have kids, but even I thought they were missing out on the opportunity. What did they have instead? Multiple police cars, a van with an aerial camera watching fans, booths & a table where people could hold guns (handguns, beanbag guns, etc.). WTF! Who are you attracting to the game - Future Surprise Militia members? Talk about scaring away future beer sales... As with all the ballparks, I always check out the food to see if there is anything that is reminiscent of the teams from back home. Sure enough, there is a Battle of the BBQ stand. I think the idea was to pit KC style BBQ vs. Texas style, but that battle basically comes down to a squeeze bottle of Texas sauce or a squeeze bottle of KC style sauce. The BBQ was average at best. If this was a restaurant, I wouldn't go back. Of course, right next to the BBQ spot was a HUGE open space where you could put real BBQ smokers and pits. Just saying... Tickets are cheap & parking is free (it better be given gas prices). The lawn is kind of fun, since you can basically sit in a great elevated position and closer to dead center field than anywhere. It's a great seat to watch from. There are some decent beers to be ordered, but it would have been nice to have a Shiner Bock, since we were watching a Texas team. This spring training, I took on an aggressive goal. Go to all 10 Spring Training Parks & see all 15 teams in one spring training season, and do it all on the weekends (FRI-SUN).
