Home of the Bowie Baysox, this is a nice venue to take the family for a day/evening of minor league baseball. The atmosphere is family-friendly and the prices are pretty reasonable. There's a carousel for the kids, ample parking, a souvenir shop, and Louie (mascot) walks around often enough giving high-fives to the kids. Concessions are a bit pricey. Check the schedule for the nights for the fireworks display. (I don't like the new scoreboard. :-( )
My son and I try to go to a few games a year. I love that the kids club is free to join and the events they have are great. My son loves to run the bases after the game.
This is a great little stadium and lots of fun for the family. Awesome place to go with kids and allot less money than major league ball. We love this place !
The sight-lines are great, not a bad seat in the house, minor league ball is fun, you can see major leaguers to-be or current major leaguers on rehab assignments. You can see great ball one play, and little league ball the next. The food selection is quite wide, great ice cream, tons of sandwich/burger choices, and plenty of stuff for kids to do. It's not real cheap, but it's not major league either. I think it's worth it--if you think it's pricey, hit a Nats or O's game, and that'll set ya straight!
Like many parks built about the same time this park has a comfy familiar feel and layout and affordable ticket prices help as well
My family and I went to the Baysox game against the Trenton Thunder last night and it was amazing! The ballpark is more quieter and less crowded than Camden Yards. There is more space without a ton of fans for catching balls and you will get to see both the Baysox and the visiting team before the game during warm up which is really cool. After the game, Kids 12 and under get to run around the bases and get autographs from the players which is restricted at Camden Yards. I got to meet Michael Ohlman who is a catcher who is my favorite Baysox player. The Baysox are an awesome team!!!!
The Baltimore Oriole's AA minor league farm team plays its home games here and we have attending a good many since the stadium opened in 1994. We have seen close up quite a few of the stars of the big leagues today. The park has good seating, a wide concourse with food and refreshment stands, a team store, an upper deck restaurant, picnic pavilions for large group events, large clean restrooms, a first aid station, and lots of free parking. There are a lot of nights with attractions, fireworks and even a camp for families out on the field. There is a kids area with a carousel, ball toss and other activities. There are special nights for kids, (superheroes) with kids invited to wear costumes. There are kids races, and other competitions in between innings, a friendly big green mascot, Louie, who along with dragon Rocko are stadium fixtures. No smoking is allowed, there is a family atmosphere and although no food can be brought in, one bottle of unopened water per person is allowed. Even though we have two major baseball teams within an hour of our home, we find we like to go to Prince George's Stadium. On occasion they have concerts there. We have seen Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Percy Sledge, and other groups there. It is a low key, less expensive place to spend a warm evening or afternoon. We wish some of the food choices were better prepared and not quite as pricey, but three level of seat prices aren't exorbitant and can be ordered on line or at the box office. People are friendly and when entering the park they say "enjoy the game" they mean it.
Several years ago I did a surprise birrthday party fot my husband. Great party package. Separete area with food. We brought the cake! Lots of room for 25 guests even the kids had fun. Ended the evening ball game with fireworks! Been to several other games. Best hot fudge sundae .
We spent an afternoon on a Saturday watching the Baysox and then my son played in a high school game. It's a shame that the players from the Baysox don't watch these games.
We like minor league baseball- this was a pretty standard park- good value food, beer, ticket prices. The post-game fireworks were really good. This is the Orioles AA club, so you can see the future of the Orioles first hand.
