| - If you're like me there are a few places where you can find good, wholesome family fun that is both cost effective and fun for the whole family. My daughter just recently discovered how much she likes watching fireworks so we got online, and booked 3 tickets to the Knights game last night.
$14.00 per ticket online and we walked right in oh, $5.00 to park. There are plenty of open seats so you can pretty much sit anywhere. They have a little play area for the kids which was pretty sparse with one small bouncehouse, a slide inflatable, rock climbing wall and an out of order Merry Go Round. Typical ball park fare included Papa Johns, burgers, dogs, funnel cakes, ice cream, cotton candy etc...Prices were reasonable and considering you generally spend more at other venues it was all fine with me. I bought 2 small cups of Ben & Jerry's for the kids and they were $4.50 each but all in all it didn't break the bank.
I used to come to these games when I was in high school which seems like eons ago so the stadium does have some wear on it which shows, but it was comfortable place to sit and watch a game. The Knights do a decent job of keeping the crowd engaged with games and the mascots in between innings.
Here's where I was a bit disappointed, Homer. Oh Homer you used to be freakin awesome. Riding around on the ATV doing wacky stunts and making fun of the players and getting the crowd involved. Homer last night was pretty boring and wasn't all that fun. Maybe it was the heat cause Lord knows I couldn't run around in that suit without passing out. I don't know it could have been much more.
On the good side, the fireworks were awesome. They do a great job with the music accompaniments, they even played some RUN DMC (I met this little girlie, her hair was kind of curly) sorry. The fireworks show lasted a good 20 - 25 minutes and were very entertaining.
I am not a proponent of moving the Knights uptown and here's why.....last night for me, 2 kids and Sweetie was about $65.00 all in. Move it to Charlotte and the price goes up to $100.00 which turns it into an expensive "knight" out IMO and of the crowd I saw last night most of the fans that go every weekend or whatever won't make the drive uptown and you'll be left with a 75% empty stadium with nice luxury boxes and sushi at the concession stands going bad. I just don't think that for all the games these guys play you're going to get the draw the crowd you get in Fort Mill. I hope they prove me wrong.
