If I went back in a time to an 80's mid-A minor league baseball game, it suspect it would look like…read morethis. We arrived an hour early and could have walked into the park without notice. Both the left field and home plate gates were wide open without a person in sight. We paid for tickets. The field itself sits in a neighborhood. Kinda cool, kinda odd too. I felt like I was at a glorified high school game. The park itself has some construction going on in back of the left field seats. I'm guessing that might house player functions, like the home team hitting cage, which is currently held in a netted enclosure under left field (high school style). The small players clubhouse sits on the fan concourse so players and coaching staff alike walk through the concourse to get to the dugout & field. Another unusual site. The field here seems huge but that might be due to the small size of the seating area. They offer three different seating options..two of which have you parked on a bleacher seat (one with back rest, one without). The high rollers pay to sit in a half plastic seat that's screwed to the bleacher seat. Pretty odd..you have to see it for yourself. We ate prior to the game so we only noshed on a pretzel once we arrived. The food options seemed limited. On field amenities are vintage 1955. No big screen, no video whatsoever. Just one, small center field score board. The outfield walls are littered with advertisements. I'm surprised they have lights. Aside from watching baseball, which is exactly why we came here, there isn't one redeeming feature inside or outside this park. We enjoyed the baseball but the park is devoid of culture and modernization.

Our experience at the Beloit Snappers game featured all of the things that make minor-league…read morebaseball great. We were close to the action (second row!), surrounded by families, old people and amiably rivalrous partisans of both teams. There were contests, catcalls. This is baseball the way it should be (except that the players should be payed MORE). The quality of play (the Snappers are the A ball affiliate of the Oakland A's major league club) was good. Concessions were OK (pizza, hot dogs, popcorn, peanuts, LOTS of beers). There is a ramp for people who need it. There are three kinds of seats: bleachers, amply-wide seats behind home and halfway up the first and third base lines (screened and protected from foul balls) and field-level seats for those who wants to get as close to the game as possible). If you are a fan of the minor-league game and in the area, you owe yourself a trip to this park springing out of an otherwise ordinary residential neighborhood.

There's four main baseball diamonds, under the lights, but I counted 6 total. There's also at least 6 full soccer fields, with goals, and there could be more. There's a playground and restrooms on the premises, covered picnic tables, and bleachers. Every time we've been here, it's been really busy, but there is plenty of space for you to come and practice, play some small games, or just enjoy watching the games. If you're thinking about participating in Huntley sports, you'll be well taken care of! What a great park!

After attending more than two dozen games at nearby Franklin Field, I have a good feel for their…read morestadium in terms of in game entertainment, concessions, amenities, atmosphere, and views of the game. Though I've now only been to Wisconsin Brewing Company Park twice, making informed comparisons isn't hard. Van and Jim are more entertaining announcers at Franklin Field than the pair of guys they have at WBC Park and Bo Vine is the better mascot (sorry, Louie). The Carpentier Agency Tabletops, Captain's Deck, and Baird Wealth Management Club at WBC Park are all nicer premium seating options than the Hop Yard and Ascension Club Level at Franklin Field, mostly due to their proximity to the field itself (the Hop Yard is way out in left field at Franklin Field). The Baird Wealth Management Club in particular is large and super nice inside. The concessions at WBC Park are better in terms of selection and FAR better in terms of quality compared to Franklin Field. They also have more concessions stands than Franklin Field. The main concessions stands at WBC Park are under the seating area, though, which prevents you from seeing any of the game while waiting in line, while all of the concessions stands are Franklin Field have a view of the game due to their open concept stadium. The seats at Franklin Field are wider compared to the seats at WBC Park, which is easily more comfortable than narrow seats. Additionally, if you're sitting low down in the seating area at WBC Park, your view could be blocked momentarily by people walking past as the concourse is at the bottom of the seating area right behind the dugouts instead of at the top of the sections like at Franklin Field. Both parks have seating areas with couches; Franklin Field's are at the top of the seating area while they're field level in right field at WBC Park, which seems more cool. The music and sound bites between pitches at WBC Park sound like they're using whatever royalty free music they can get their hands on while Franklin Field uses more modern music. The entertainment at Franklin Field is more fan oriented with various games between contestants almost every inning while WBC Park seems to prefer less fan interaction in their between inning entertainment (cheerleaders performed three separate times during our most recent visits). WBC Park does have kids activities in right field while Franklin Field doesn't consistently have kids activities (outside the aforementioned between inning games). Everything said, there are aspects of Wisconsin Brewing Company Park that I like and dislike. No ballpark is perfect, but this one is pretty good.

The food…read moreis good, the seats don't cost a fortune, parking is $5 and the onfield entertainment is always fun to watch. At a field that is easy to get to! This year they have added a dance team, The Dockettes, and they raise the entertainment level. It was lots of fun, from dancing to supporting the players and revving up the fans. This weekend the Dockhounds became The Flying Monkeys, in honor of the anniversary of The Wizard of Oz. The first fans in got a Bobblehead of Tin Man Louis!!! Such silly fun, and then out came the bat-dog! Lots of things happening all through the game, so bring the kids and have fun!

I was in the area picking something up and decided to take a short walk through this park. My…read morenephews and I used to come here in Spring when everything was still covered in snow, and in winter, the park is popular for cross-country skiing, so I'm quite familiar with it. I've also attended a foraging class here through the Madison Public Library, which was a great experience. The trails are easy to walk, but keep an eye out for black walnuts that ripen and drop onto the ground--you could easily step on one and twist an ankle (as I unfortunately did). Along the way, you might spot squirrels and hear birds singing in the bushes. I even came across some mushrooms, which reminded me of the foraging class. There's a restroom facility and a pond nearby, and in winter, local families love coming here for sledding on hill. I've done it myself--it's a lot of fun, just make sure to protect your back on the way down! Don't say I didn't warn you!

If you have your own skates you can skate for as long as you want. They have 2 rinks, one for regular ice skating and the other for hockey.

From the ivy-covered outfield walls to the hand-operated scoreboard, it feels like you're stepping into a different era of baseball. If you're someone who appreciates the roots of the game, this place delivers in a way newer stadiums just can't replicate. The seating is part of that uniqueness too. It's not your typical modern setup, and that's both a pro and a con. Some sections feel incredibly close to the action, almost like you're part of the game. But because of the stadium's age, there are support beams (poles) that can block your view if you're not careful with your seats. It's part of the old-school charm, but definitely something to be aware of when booking so you don't end up with an obstructed view. What really adds to the experience is everything around the stadium in Wrigleyville. The whole neighborhood feels like an extension of the ballpark--bars, restaurants, and crowds of fans all flowing together before and after the game. It's lively without feeling overwhelming, and it makes the whole outing more than just a game--it's an event. Overall, between the history, the unique character, and the atmosphere inside and outside the park, this is an easy 5 star experience and a must-visit if you're into baseball or iconic venues.
