A friend of mine warned, “Watch out for the foul balls.  People get hit by them all the time!”  I went to a Missions game, this past Sunday, expecting to get hit by a ball and not knowing what else to expect.

The stadium was really nice, well-kept, and the field was really green.  How do they do it?  Food coloring?

Tickets were a really good price.  The most expensive, litsed on their board, was $9.50.  We ended up getting tickets about 15 rows up just behind home plate, so we needn’t worry about foul balls hitting us unless they go up and over the protective netting.  Plus, this area was well shaded.  The outfield got all the sun in the evening, so keep that in mind when purchasing tickets.

The team was pretty good.   A few walks here and a few bean balls there, but c’mon!  It’s a minor league team.  It was also enjoyable knowing they were fighting for a wild-card playoff spot.  – They ended up winning!

What’s a baseball game without all the concessions?  This stadium had them all!  Beer, hot dogs, nachos, pizza, corn dogs, popcorn, peanuts, and more!  I was surprised by the extensive offerings coming from such a small stadium.

I’m definitely looking forward to checking out another game.  Perhaps I’ll check out a playoff game!
