| - Surprisingly nice. Get it? Surprise! Oh, I slay myself...
We went to a Rangers-Giants game in March. I have to admit, I was not expecting a lot after driving forever down "Grand" Avenue, a run-down stretch of strip clubs and shuttered businesses. Combined with 15,000 people arriving at once and stop lights letting 5 cars in at a time, I was a grumpy camper leading in to it. Surprise is probably the farthest drive for all the stadiums
No charge for parking. Nice! Not expected and a welcome surprise (no pun intended this time). Also, free soda for being a designated driver. Sure, why not?
The stadium was nice. You walk in by the outfield, where you see the nice grassy berm and cool looking stadium. I heard this stadium is 10 years old, but it looked new. I liked the carousel in the stadium, it's a nice touch to have something a little different. It was a small carousel, but was also free. Not a bad seat in the house, either.
Demerits for the cheesesteak tent. Probably one poor lady trying to take all orders and cash, and one overworked guy on the grills. 5 other people literally standing around (one dude was dancing to the song 'Happy' while 10 of us waited for food). The Philly chicken was downright wrong. I don't think the grills have been cleaned in a week, my chicken was black. Not from being burnt, but all the nasty crap on the grill. I later went to get Nachos, which consisted of chips and a pre-filled cup of cheese and salsa.
I likely won't be back, as I'd rather visit some more parks, but it was a pretty nice stadium, we had fun.
