"Take a seat it's glittering, I shimmy and I shake my body."

This is not a state-of-the-art stadium. It is hard to even imagine Major League teams scheduling an exhibition here; however, apparently they do every year. (I have never been.)(Bartman curse.)
I come here for the AAA Las Vegas 51's, and there is a good reason to come: tickets are dirt cheap, parking is cheaper (although there is a bunch of free parking)(paid parking is unamerican), and the 51's have been winning. Moreover, it hardly ever rains. (Out of all the check-ins displayed above, only one game was a rain out.)

Box Office
I only deal with the Will Call window. The lady/gentleman there is always super-nice. Unfortunately, there are always imbeciles in this queue who hold up the window by trying to retrieve tickets not under their name but under the names of their father, uncle, great-grandfather (deceased), or dog. Bring a book.
Food & Drink
It sucks. 'Beer Man' Bruce can be routinely heard -- louder than the PA even -- with his booming voice explaining how there is beer here! Beeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
If you are here for dollar beer, you have stand in specific queues for the cups of dollar beer. Don't drink and drive.
Miscellaneous
Restrooms are actually pretty nice; must have gone through a remodel recently. Always clean, according to my experience. UNLV can learn something here.
Drink water. Wear sunscreen.
