| - This was my 3rd Spring Training ballpark visit, and I think this ballpark is great. Although a pretty long drive (25 miles) in traffic from Phoenix, but it's totally worth the experience. Home to the Padres and Mariners, this ballpark is a little older than some, but has such a great small town charm. The food options have the traditional hot dog concessions, but what makes this place are the food tents surrounding the stadium which are like things you see at a county fair. They have gourmet pizzas hand-stretched, and BBQ (pork. brisket, chicken), Terriyaki Bowls, Chicago Style Hot Dogs and Italian Beef, Wrap place, Fish Tacos and Burritos, Kettle Corn, Hawaiian Shaved Ice, and some sort of breaded pork sandwich stand. They have a Red Hook tent that serves Red Hook on draft, and another that serves Four Peaks brewing along with other macro brews.
Views are great as you walk around the ballpark including some lawn seats in the outfield where I saw several kids enjoying running around by the fences.
Beware of foul balls.... you are super close to the game and the balls were flying when I was there, but as long as you are alert, you should be okay.
