| - I wasn't sure what to expect, having grown up going to baseball games at Qualcomm (previous home to the San Diego Padres), Dodger Stadium and AT&T Park.
The field at Cashman is actually really nice. It's obviously smaller than larger stadiums, and the crowd is much smaller. But there's lots of pros here, including: (1) proximity to the field; (2) cost of tickets; (3) good food and drinks; and (4) no parking hassle.
I paid $10 per ticket for bleacher seats that were still really close to the field. Actual seats were $3 or $4 more per ticket. It's much easier to see (and be engaged in) the game. I felt like I could see the player's expressions. I love that!!! Much better than being in nosebleed. (Which is basically non-existent at Cashman.)
They also have a good food selection for a sporting event, i.e., there's not just one or two $10 burger or hot dog options. Here, there was lots of hot dog options, hamburgers, pretzels, fries, etc. They also sell shaved ice for $5, which really hits the spot in the heat.
Also, while there was quite a bit of people when we went it wasn't a PITA to get out of the parking lot after the game. Big plus with not spending an hour trying to get out of the stadium!
Incidentally, parking was $4 for non-season ticket holders and there was plenty of parking.
I honestly (and surprisingly) had a great time (I kinda thought it'd be like a high school baseball game, which it wasn't -- at all). It's a fun thing to do in Vegas that's off the strip and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Yay!
