Well Minor Leagues go to Major League extemes to get folks to the stadiums. Camden River Sharks at Campbells Stadium is great, clean friendly and safe... Do not let the stories of Camdens woes sway you, the stadium is in a very secure and safe place. My 10 year old daughter set thru the entire game without complaints, fun zones and merry go round was perfect as a deterrent.Only complaint, soda and drinks are a little expensive. Food however is good and reasonable.
This is a great family place to take in a ball game! Much less expensive than the big league parks and neat things for the whole family with a dedicate play area for the kids. Go see a great game played by young professionals trying to make the big leagues.
We love going to this field for Rivershark baseball games. The view is stunning tucked under the Ben Franklin Bridge. This venue is great for kids, lots of family oriented activities and very affordable.
Our children gave us tickets for the Riversharks. All of us got to see the game. There were 5 adults and 3 children (4,7 and 9). The park was great. There was a nice play area for the kids with a climbing wall. There was also a merry-go-round for the kids to ride during the game. The food was good...especially the Crab Fries. They also have a healthy food stand. It is a beautiful ball field facing the changing lights on the Ben Franklin Bridge. Besides watching the game, there were many between inning activities for the kids to do. After the game there were fireworks and the kids got to run the bases. Good first professional experience for the kids and good game for the adults to see.
Wow! I really didn't expect to enjoy myself so much! I consider myself to be a somewhat reserved wife and mother of 3. I rarely act like a kid in a candy store, but when I entered Campbells Field, it took me back to the times that I spent at Pittsburgh Pirates games as a teen. We attended on Memorial Day 2013. Upon entering Campbell's Field, you are greeted by folks from the "street team", handing out promotional materials and discount coupons. They also sign up kids for on-field entertainment. My son participated in the Macarena which was so funny! My introverted 15 year old daughter (who didnt want to go) as well as the rest of my "too cool for school" family were singing along, smiling and responding to the usual participatory baseball stadium prompts! I knew that we would be there for hours and thought the kids would become bored and begin complaining, but that didn't happen! This blew my mind!There were lots of food options to choose from. We had crab fries from chick and pete's($7!!!) but there were a lot in the bucket. 4 of us shared the bucket and still had some leftover. My husband and I had beers but I can't remember the price but I think they were between $9-11. The price is the same for bottles and the x-tra large cup. Get the cup! I was expect to see guys selling peanuts and beer in the stands but there was none of that. When I think about it, everything is so accessible that you can get your own stuff without walking far at all.Every seat is a great seat. The cheapest seats are probably the best! Go figure! All seats face the Benjamin Franklin Bridge with the city of Philadelphia in the background. As the sun set behind Philly, the moon appeared over the bridge as though someone hung it in perfect position.The bridge was lit with red and blue lights and the lit train going back and forth across the bridge added to the ambience. The night ended with a Rivershark's win, topped off with a really good fireworks show over Philly which was visible from every seat in the stadium.Our departure was easy. No ridiculous crowd or traffic jam. No toll costs if you live in Jersey!We drove home knowing we made a great choice to visit Campbell's field and the Riversharks.Totally satisfied and will return!
Had a great time with my family here over Memorial Day weekend. We went for $5 seats and fireworks. The seats were great and the fireworks were awesome! Food was reasonable and carousel was a nice treat for the kids @ $1 each. Really a great night out with the family for a great price!!!
This is a great place to spend a day with children or as adults. They have a meet and greet every Sunday with the team and the prices are very affordable.
Great Field! Reasonable price for parking! Great staff!. Awesome seats. Good food!Nice place for the entire family. Discount tickets online! Wonderful freebies! Exciting fireworks.
We had a last minute invitation to attend a game, sitting in one of the suites. The suite offered indoor seating that was air conditioned or outside seating. You could really see the field well from the seats because the ball park is small. The parking lot was just down the block and only $6. Refreshments were not cheap but they were not nearly as expensive as going to Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. There was a carousel and play area with a bouncy castle for the kids. The Rivershark mascot came up to the suites and posed for pictures. The ball park was clean and well maintained. After the game, there were fireworks. We moved from our suite to the area right behind home plate to get a good view of the fireworks. My only gripe, and the ball park is not directly responsible, is the road signage getting to and from by the Ben Franklin Bridge. We got lost coming and going and you really don't want to be lost in Camden.
Affordable? Yes, very much so.Great atmosphere and setting to watch a game of baseball.I've been to several Minor/Independent League stadiums and this one is one of the best.Don't let Camden scare you, all of the attractions on the waterfront are in a good area and easily accessible.Please note that this team is not affiliated with any MLB team. It is an independent league, so the talent level is not like seeing a Triple A team. (But still enjoyable to see a great level of play and the little ones won't know the difference.)Enjoy the game!
