Went up to Jupiter to see our Miami Marlins play an exhibition game with University of Miami. What a great experience. Starting with the stadium staff who were all super helpful and you could tell they really enjoyed their jobs there. Not a bad seat in the stadium, even lots of seating in the shade if you want to get out of the Florida sun. Concessions were just so so, typical stadium food so just meh but we weren't there to eat. Easy parking, easy to get to from turnpike, or I-95 Paid $5 extra to watch batting practice and that was worth every dime great way to get close to the players. All in all great experience .
Our family has been going to Roger Dean since it opened. We love baseball and the teams and have even hosted players in our home over the years. But conditions this year at the place are poor and its entirely the responsibility of those running the place.This year they added an on field batting practice experience for $25 per person in addition to your game tickets. Of course we thought this was a great idea for our trio of baseball loving little leaguers and we purchased five such tickets to a recent game. The advance advertising offered an on field batting practice experience, watching and interacting wirh players and getting autographs.Trouble is the program is a SHAM! Once you're on the field - if they remember to bring you - the Staff Coordinator named Catherine Deal is downright abusive to both children and adults and tells them they may not ask for autographs or even speak to players. She is exceptionally loud and rude and even threatened to toss us when our 7 year old was saying hello to a Marlins player who then came over and signed the kids baseballs. This woman who an usher said is "in sales" is totally unprofessional. Shes in no way good for sales. "Shut up people, last warning," is not how you speak to paing customers, fans, adults, and certainly not children. Not my children.We paid to enjoy the game and to treat our boys to a special experience. That experience was ruined by a vitriolic unprofessional woman whose behavior, conduct and presentation was outrageous and inappropriate in every way. Even the way she addressed other staff was so crude and distasteful.We are in touch with the front offices for the Marlins and Cardinals and we have sent a letter to the new Commissioner of baseball in New York.This had nothing to do with the wonderful players who were cordial and friendly. We adore our Marlins. The fault rested solely with a crude stadium staffer Ms. Deal, who clearly had her own agenda for being on the field.Shame on her and the Stadium leadership for allowing fans to be treated so poorly by an employee.
We came to Jupiter for the third year in a row to watch the Red Sox beat the Cardinals. It was a gorgeous day and the stadium was sold out. All seats are great seats. The only issue is there are no covered seats - some seats do get shaded - so if it is a sunny day you will get sunburned. It was very warm but we had a nice breeze. Despite applying sunscreen we still managed to get burned. But, that's not the stadium's fault. We had a lot of fun and the Red Sox pulled out a win. The stadium food is good and the beer is cold. I highly recommend seeing a game no matter who is playing. You will have an awesome time!

Great small stadium love the personal feel. Concessions were horrendous. 30 minute wait and we were only 5 people back. Hope they tweak that as the season progresses.
This is a reasonably new house for the Cardials. It is small and comfortable.,we are New Yorkers and they were playing the Yankees. It's a lot cheaper here thn Yankee Stadium both for admission and concessions.
Baseball then you half to come herr. Love the stadium not a bad seat in the house. You can't go wrong coming hrre
We visited for spring training and loved it. Not a bad seat. Great food too. Fish tacos were the best!
The stadium is not large compared to the huge ones in large cities. The seating is comfortable. The bathrooms are plentiful. The concessions have big city pricetags. The Staff is the model of courtesy and patience. The fans (Cardinals v Marlins) were respectful and obviously having fun, especially when balls were thrown towards kids in the audience. We had a great afternoon.A note about the fans. They do not shout CHARGE! And only half sang Take me out to the ball game!! Obviously there is a need for some training here.
We love to go to minor league baseball games. I had season tickets for 9 years up North. The park is reasonably new, staff courteous and food OK. but we had to sit out in the sun the entire game and that is no longer our idea of a good time. We'll stay with the Mets in Port St Lucie. Even though the Mets are going thru a long dry some of the visiting teams are respectable.
