I'm a Phils fan, so I remember the Red Barons Triple A team. Now they're a Yankee Triple A Team, not as great, but the facilities are great. Family friendly, plenty of parking, tickets are cheap, good beer choices...Staff is so friendly! Keep up the great work! They deserve raises, hands down.
We learned they just redid the stadium and it's a fun place to watch a minor league game. There's lots of seating options, so pick the one that works for you. The food choices are typical stadium food - not overly expensive, but not cheap either - may want to eat prior to the game to save some bucks (and probably eat better too). :) Enjoy!
There isn't much better on a summer afternoon than a baseball game - with a hot dog, beer and peanuts!! We love going to a ballgame, especially at minor league parks where access is easier and prices are more affordable - and our trip to see the RailRiders on a Wednesday afternoon in July was nothing short of our expectations. Great seat, super easy access and parking, fast and good ballpark food and friendly staff made our day perfect. Don't miss the chance to see future major league players and Hall of Famers and have a wonderful time doing it!
Ordered tickets for a game OVER PHONE in June in late May since I happened to be passing through the area. I asked the person on the phone to send me tickets via mail, as I did not want to wait in lines when I got to the stadium. (reasonable request, right?). They said they would get them right out to me. Wonderful!Two weeks later and the day before I was set to leave on my trip I still had never got them. I called the box office, told them of situation, and was told that they would reprint them and leave them for me at will call. Now, yes, everything ended up being fine and they were at will call after I waited in the line I didn't want to wait in.So now, at the end of June, you would think I still would have got the first issue of the tickets, eventually, right? Nope. Only one explanation: they were never mailed out on that day in May when the person on the phone told me that they would send them right out to me.They never did apologize for that.Once at the stadium, having gone to minor league games at lower levels, I was expecting a little more from a AAA-level stadium. What it is, is fine, but it's no better then the stadium at the A-level team in my backyard. The crowd, close to a sell out, was absolutely dead and showed no emotion, and this was in a 3-1 victory. Very few even stood up when a home run was hit. I simply don't think this field, and perhaps this market is deserving of the AAA-level affiliate of the Yankees from what I saw but perhaps this was a bad example and it is usually better.
Good food, fairly priced, good AAA-MLB affiliate baseball, nice place to spend a summer evening. The mid-inning antics are typical - the familiar grocery cart race, beanbag tosses, contests, t-shirt tosses, etc. Big grassy berm in the outfield if you don't want a stadium seat. Free programs with score card, something you don't get at any big-league parks and not all minor-league parks, either.
Great place to take the family. Very kid friendly with kid zone games and bounce house. Prices were very reasonable. Game was exciting. Had lots of entertainment between innings. Staff was friendly.
A great night outing. I'm not a baseball fan. Went for a special event occuring prior to the game. Love the seating...big difference from the "cliffhanger" seating in the past. It was just nice to walk around and take in the family fun.
We visited the Poconos for a couple of days and discovered that the Yankees AAA ball team plays in the Scranton-Wilkes Barre area. What an affordable great way to spend the evening. Our top priced ticket was less than $15. It's a beautiful new ball park nestled into hills, very easy to get to and also to get out of at the end of the game. Free parking. We stayed nearby (we could actually see our hotel from our seats) so it was very convenient. I highly recommend a visit to this ball park if you're in the area. Bring your family, they seem to have lots of theme nights that are geared towards children so it's also a great family destination. We were also treated to an awesome fireworks display at the conclusion of the ball game. Excellent!!!
Check out the new digs for the Scranton Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, the triple A affiliate for the Yankees. Stay at the Springhill Suites - it overlooks the stadium and is newly built.
went with my wife. Fun to watch with activities between innings, All the seats are good. Only issue was at the box office. I had seen great seats available on line, but was told they were no longer available at box office. We got good seats, but so many better seats were empty!Clean place. Would go again with kids.
