Diamond Stadium of Lake Elsinore — Attraction in Lake Elsinore

Update: BEST SoCAL MiLB STADIUM (BUT…)! I love The Storm and this classic ballpark! It's so clean every time I come and it's home to many events like tribute bands, wrestling, and so much more! Of course, the main event is The Storm and their fun, immersive ballgame experience! The seats are pretty solid, but they're incredibly hot in the summer as they feel like burning metal even though they’re plastic.

The Diamond has plenty of food and has a restaurant called The Taproom which serves American fare, BBQ, brunch and limited time options. I walked around and noticed that this season we have Cold Stone Ice Cream, Michi’s Tacos, Juice It Up and a few other cool name-brand food stations. The stadium also has a cute team store with pins, shirts, hats and other cool Storm memorabilia. I bought a few pins today and absolutely love them! I love that there’s diverse merch here! Parking is free in LOT C and tailgating is allowed.

I wish I could give the stadium a five star rating but sometimes the staff is really rude. Thank goodness everything else is great because I had some really awful run-ins with staff today. First off, I had to get my hand stamped to exit the stadium in order to be allowed back in after I forgot my glasses in my car. I was totally on board with following the rules as it was my fault forgetting my glasses in my car. Well, I was told to exit out the main entrance after getting my hand stamped and I did. Therefore, I see this small opening (at the main entrance and I proceed to head out). Well, this jerk older security guy starts yelling at me stating “hey, hey, hey, HEY, go through the crowd!!” In my mind I was saying to myself “wth is wrong with this man?” He had automatically decided to yell for no reason and I walked through a crowd going the opposite direction thus obstructing traffic. He was incredibly unhinged. Later, after I come back in to the stadium I head to the Team Store. Get this, I’m ready to check out with my pins and the woman at the register on the left was so unfriendly I wanted to gasp. First, I say “hello” and she doesn’t respond, I got major “Karen” vibes. It’s not my fault you’re working on a Sunday lady. I’m incredibly disappointed with the staff today. Note, I’m not talking about food vendors or team staff (ushers, promo staff, etc.) The main issue was the security and store staff,...

Terrible baseball experience. I've been to a lot of pro and minor league parks and this is one of the worst. 102 degree weather with barely functional water fountains and concessions refusing to fill water bottles, fill cups w ice, and water/drinks are overpriced for minor leagues, $15 beers/$8 small soda/$6 bottled Dasani. They only had about 200-300 of the giveaway jersey and said they ran out immediately as people were waiting over an hour before the doors open to line up as they had experience knowing the supply would be tiny, attendance was announced as 2200 so you won't get giveaways unless you plan way ahead. Their idea of a replacement was some cheap card game donated by a prior advertiser. Concession stands are understaffed and lines get ridiculous except Acai Bowl and healthy options which are more expensive than BBQ/stadium food options. There were people in our seats behind home plate and we could not find an usher or security to ask them to move. We went to a uniform sales stand to ask for help and she said she would let security know and we can sit anywhere we want until then. We sat a section away in the bottom of the 1st and security came in the 3rd inning and talked to the people but they didn't check their tickets and didn't move them so we lost our front row seats. I went to ask for a refund at the team store as we were done with this bad experience and was told nobody who could approve that was available and I would need to email and could probably find that info on the website because they didn't know. The ball park itself looked nicer than expected and parking was $10 in a huge lot with a separate exit opened after the game. Some of the staff were nice and apologetic, others were rude and clueless. But all seemed to agree that they were short staffed. 1/5, no chance I will ever return as the prices and issues are just...

Absolutely beautiful stadium, clean with super friendly and fun staff. No matter where you sit you have a good seat and the seating is well maintained. Why 3 stars? It's out of respect for the stadium. We were a group of 9 ages 92-4. We didn't know so much changed over the past years with the food! We decided to eat at the stadium rather than before entering. The food was insulting. You expect to pay more then outside but for $210.00 it was just insulting. We brought our grandchildren and bought baseballs and pens to have the players sign before and after the game. Thankfully the visiting team was friendly with all the kids because the Storm team were not. If it was not for #4 no one would have gotten a autograph. The rest of the team ducked away knowing there were at least 20 kids waiting for them. Shame on you. Once the kids figured this out they went over to the other team. We still had a great night. Storms won and...
