Hodgetown Stadium — Attraction in Amarillo

I was so excited to go to my first Sod Poodles game until i wasn't. My family and had the picnic area tickets purchased through my job. The 1st worker was really pleasant walked us down a gave us a selection to set at with my company name on the tables. About 1hr or so after the game starts a new worker that i smiled and said hello to walked passed at least 3 time after getting food and drinks, Comes to our table after passing other tables to ask us if we were supposed to be there . I said yes. Then he asked again do you work for the company. I said yes do you need to see my ticket. He looks at me and said well there is an over flow of people up stairs that would to set down here in this area. I asked him again do you need to see my tickets. I wasn't going to move. Then i asked him are you asking everyone else because you only came to my table. That is when he decided to say no then walked away not asking anyone else if rhey worked for the company. I was very offended yes we where the only black people in the picnic area other than 1 other persons that was at the table with his friends/family/co workers of another race. No i dont know the other person. A co worker greated me shortly after that and i asked if they had been asked. She said no. Stuff like this makes it hard to enjoy your first time doing something that you want to experience with family and friends or just with people who are enjoying themselves. The Poodles didn't win. The fireworks were awesome. But it was hard to get fully into the game worried if someone was going to ask you to move again. We have to do better. Did i mention there were other tables...

We enjoyed the beautiful stadium but the staff is severely undertrained. The Fan Center told me to wait in line at the concessions to see where to get the food vouchers that were supposed to come with the tickets. Something they should know or be able to find out quickly.

I asked for a private place to feed my 3 month old at the Fan Center and was told there wasn't one. I asked at the Season Ticket information area and was told I could use a bathroom. I asked at the Gift Shop and was told they had a place- walked passed an empty conference room and several empty cubicles and directed to a bathroom with a chair? I said no and told the people directing me that I would just go out to the stadium- it didn't bother me at all. And THEN they directed me to the conference room. (The Kansas City stadium (MLB, I know) provides an air conditioned room with rocking chairs and TVs showing the game for nursing mothers. Most places will happily provide a clean quick cool place to nurse a baby.

The only family bathroom was locked for an extended amount of time. Apparently, the door locks frequently from the inside. We saw several family's that tried to use the restroom and could not because of this. The lock needs to be changed/fixed.

The food was great, the playground was nice, garage parking is right across the street for $7, or a few blocks down for $5, the stadium was clean and easy to navigate. We will return but hopefully more of the kinks will...

Great time last night with Sod Poodles! Our company Davidson Oil put on a Summer Soirée for their employees on the City Federal Fiesta Deck and it was a great time!!!! Great seats and atmosphere!

Handicapped parking on north side of Stadium at the soon to be old City Hall.

Some observations of the Fiesta Deck: Just opened in May 2024. Next to press box, behind first base. Catered with hot dogs, burgers, cookies, potato salad and Pepsi products. Bar and Bartender there for additional $. Bring cash for tips for the caterer and bartender as they can't take any other forms. Plenty of table seating and bar stool seating with bar at railing to watch the game and eat. Comfortable patio style couches. Two large screen TV's to watch game on. Bathroom very close by. Elevator and stair access. Enter from Home Plate Entrance turn left and access using elevator or stairs. No issues for us with wheelchair for access. If you can't transfer from wheelchair to barstool, might be better to view the game on the TV as the railing gets in the way. It was a Marvel theme night and the fireworks afterwards were amazing!!!

And most of all Ruckus came to visit us!!!!!!

Oh yeah and the Sodpoodles won in a tight game against the Arkansas Travelers!! Lol. It was a fun game for a non baseball enthusiast.

The fireworks and game shots behind Home Plate were from an 08/09/24 game with the...
