The Crosscutters only scored one run tonight and it wasn't until the last inning. That was unfortunate, but players come and go... The show goes on.
The staff seemed friendly and enthusiastic. I want to give a special shout out to the guy in the safety vest with the cone who passionately attempted to inspire a melancholy crowd all the way through 9th inning. He was absolutely steadfast with his chants of "Let's Go Cutters!" as this dismal crowd provided virtually no response to his efforts, and all dreams of a win, faded from reality. That guy never gave up. I admire that. I am not sure if you allow fans to vote on an employee of the month award, but if you do, please allot my vote to him.
My only serious concern relates to the concession stand. After ordering my sandwich, I decided to live life on the wild side and spice things up by adding a little Frank's Red Hot Sauce using the provided dispenser in the condiment area. As I pressed down on the dispenser, I felt some friction and realized this task would require a little more force than I initially expected. I applied a little more strength and immediately regretted the decision. A massive amount of hot sauce exploded from the dispenser, ricocheting off my sandwich, splattering the condiment area: my forearms were covered in hot sauce. I was so embarrassed after the fiery discharge, that I didn't have the courage to make eye contact with the poor woman standing next to me, who was most likely also a victim of the red eruption.
To make matters worse, the napkin dispenser was virtually impossible to use. I stood there, struggling to operate this with one hand as I held my sandwich in the other. If this is a deliberate decision, as part of a "go green" initiative to save napkins, I applaud your efforts, but in this desperate moment, the opposite occurred: I frantically shredded napkin after napkin, hoping to finally get a whole napkin that I could proudly return to my seat with as I used others to wipe the hot sauce off of myself. Eventually, I put my head down and retreated to my seat, with what appeared to be a crumpled wad of toilet paper in my hand.
For the aforementioned issues with the condiment area at the concession stand, I cannot, in good conscience, give the Crosscutters a five star review. That being said, the Acme brisket sandwich was excellent and the 32 oz. Labatt drafts, always hit the spot at...
Read moreAlways quality entertainment. Reserved tickets are ridiculously cheap, you can buy online or at the stadium ticket booth. Plenty of free parking, and you can get first class parking for $3 (super cheap). Great variety of local foods and beers. A nice secret are the foot long hot dogs over in the cove on the 3rd base side. Restrooms are huge, never a line. Boomer (the mascot) roams around during the game, there's a good chance you'll meet him. He also poses for free photos in the 6th inning near the park entrance. Gift shop has a great selection of Crosscutters merch. Truly a great experience. Not a bad seat in the stadium. The sun sets on the 3rd base side, so if shade is your thing, consider sitting...
Read moreI met two of the ball players on there at the park one day when I was eating lunch they were both very nice gentlemen. We are going Thursday night is Faith night. Going with our church group and I can't wait. I'll take some photos when I go and I will repost them on here. They have different types of nights to like sometimes you can get free tickets from the banks or places where to go or a certain nights they also do fireworks here I think it's on the weekends Friday or Saturday night I'm not sure it's usually advertised on a bulletin at...
