This really is a nice park it never gets so busy that you have a hard time keeping up with your group. I still hate that the Jackhamners change their name to the Slammers. I do understand why they did it, but I May always refer to them as the jackhammers. They do have a lot of good food here.
Joliet is proud of this gem! Some don't care for the team name "SLAMMERS" but that is just how one looks at it! Instead of guys in the "slammer" (Joliet has its prison), think of grand-SLAMMERS in baseball!Entertaining and FUN!
If you want to visit a very nice ballpark that is above what you'd expect for a minor league team, then this is the place. Good and plentiful seating, a convenient downtown location and certainly reasonable admission price. You can even watch the freight trains rumble by if the game is slow.
If you're a baseball fan this place is awesome. Great family fun, kids stuff, fireworks, etc. if you don't love baseball you'll still have fun. They've have food vendor changes that may need improving still as far as choice and price but you can find something. Beautiful park and very clean. Great prices to get in and not a bad seat in the place!
Had a great night at the ball park! I'm a huge baseball fan though, so any night, at any ball park, would be a great night. JL Bird, their mascot, came and sat next to me. It's a great looking stadium. Very fun and enjoyable evening!
Silver Cross Field is a great place to enjoy baseball. The price can't be beat, from $6-$10 for seats. The ballpark is really, really nice, with a beautiful playing field. They have the best fireworks EVER on a routine basis. Silver Cross is very family oriented . They very often have special events and features, entertainment for kids. Parking is right around the park, and the police presence makes it very safe. Traffic is well controlled in the area. The ballpark offers many very good food vendors, they have family picnic area, box seats, lawn seats. What ever you could want is going to be there if you like baseball and the fun atmosphere of baseball fans. The pro teams charge $60 a seat, and sometimes are not much better players than those in this league. Give it a try!
We went the other day for a picnic/Slammers game for my boyfriends work. I was pretty bored and attendance was low. Although everyone's children seemed to be having fun with the mascots and the between innings events. So I would suggest it more for a place to take your kids than go on a date. It was aTuesday and they had $2 draft beers so that's a pretty good deal. They also have a good selection of ballpark food and have fireworks after some games.
We saw the Slammers and Cartoon Network was there. So my younger kids had a great time. Also there were a lot of mascots at the game. It was very entertaining. Lots of things going on while the game was in progressed.
What a great facility, as nice as some of the double A and triple A parks I have visited. Too bad the ownership sets it sights so low with the product they put on the field. Otherwise, a typical small town ball park atmosphere and food that you would expect.
Fun for families, Buy lawn seats they are the cheapest. No one stops you from sitting in the seats and there is always plenty open.Because Milano Bakery is a major bakery in Joliet they toss rolls to the crowd.
