    Minor league baseball is a hoot! These guys play so hard trying to make it to the big show or just for the love of the game. The park is a great place for a family, a date, or even just by yourself!  more »

    I don't know how many times I have been to Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium yes, the old one and the new one. While principal Park is no Yankee Stadium it is designed and it really feels like a much bigger Stadium than it really is! The seats are comfortable, the food selection is huge, parking is great, buying tickets is very easy, especially if you do it online and getting in and out is also very easy. It is always fun to go to an Iowa Cubs game there!

    It was really nice.....and it had ramps I could use because I use a walker. I was so glad it is handicapped accessible. I worried I wouldn't get to see our 2 grandson's play in the state baseball tournament but I was able to do so. Now I 'm looking forward to going back to see them in the semi final game Friday night and hopefully in the championship game Saturday!
