This is a fantastic family venue. The Crawdads organization really know how to entertain the fans through quality baseball and mid inning entertainment!
In this area of NC, there are not many sporting venues, but, you can count on the Hickory Crawdads to offer some small town sporting fun. It's minor league ball but the play is usually exciting (if you like baseball). Lots of fun little events in between innings, usually involving crowd. Regular amenities available, including beer, and the prices are very reasonable. Check for special events like give-aways, concerts and there are usually fireworks after every home game, with a pretty good show on July 4th.
As with most minor league parks, the best part about LP Frans is the atmosphere and approach to the families that attend the game. Great time!
Surprising active. I'm not much of a baseball fan but go to support the team. Lots of promos for good pricing and free give-a-ways, who doesn't like that. But when you go to actually watch the game, you can't understand what the PA announcer is saying. The sound is extremely muffled, I found myself becoming frustrated and straining to figure out what he was saying.
My grandson has a friend that plays on the team, so we went to watch him play. The stadium was small but very nice and easy to get around. The parking was nice with easy access to the stadium. The Crawdads's did not have a good day, but we had a wonderful time!
This is a good family oriented venue for an excellent value for Class A baseball. The field somewhat set down from the parking area and the vantage points are quite good. Additionally, the field offers several alternative seating options including picnic tables. I was there on thirsty thursday and there was a live band playing after the game. No one got out of control or had too much to drink. There's not much around the stadium...eat before you go as the concessions are pretty bland.
Very nice evening of baseball and food for a group of about 50 people as part of a company event. The people serving the food were very helpful and friendly. The craft beer selection was amazing.
The stadium offers good activities for children and excellent fireworks. Food choices are low end and overpriced. The worst part of watching a game is spending over an hour trying to merge into traffic.
The family can come to the crawdads game and have some food for less than the price of one major-league ticket. Get a seat close to the dugout, you can watch, hear and understand the strategies being put in place.Not only is the event a lot of fun but it is truly a building block for the young players to get to the major leagues.
It was hot, but fun for the family. The seats were good to view the plays. Can't wait until next year.
