Heading to the Corn Crib to catch a Cornbelters game isn't a bad way to spend a summer evening…read more I've been here a couple times as a social activity whilst attending a professional development event. It's good for that sort of thing because you can mingle but also go take a seat and enjoy the game if you like. I really enjoyed it here because it's a relaxing evening, seats are good, and there's a little hilly lawn that people can go sit in to the far left of the left field seats (usually kids). Prices aren't bad for concessions. You won't be seeing MLB-related teams here; the Corn Crib belongs to Heartland Community College and hosts collegiate summer teams. A few other sports use the stadium, too.

We made our first visit to The Corn Crib to see the Cornbelters in their opening Friday game…read more Fireworks on Fridays all summer after the game! Parking was a bit chaotic --prepare for a long wait along Raab Rd. as you get into the lot. Somehow, once in and paying the $2, it was a quick zip to a spot. I wonder if they might find a way to streamline this in the future. Getting in and getting seated is a breeze. Stadium is new so everything is very nice. Prices are fair enough, staff mostly volunteers I believe, and a decent enough selection of food and drink for a ballpark. They may still be getting their stride, but it's a good facility, a great sport to have in town, and well worth several summer visits. My only word of caution is for anyone unfamiliar with the farm leagues --they seem to play at about half the pace of the majors. You may be in for a long night --if anything more bang for the buck (yawn) right?

Since I'm only a visitor to Peoria, I have no historical reference for the team's performance, but…read moreI had a great time. The Rivermen are the AHL farm team for the NHL's St. Louis Blues and they play at the Peoria Civic Center. These games are community and family oriented. When you enter the center, there are activities for the kids (face painting, balloon animals and bouncy castles). Between periods, there are contests and more stuff for the kids. The concessions are pretty standard and the prices aren't exorbitant. Street parking isn't too bad and there are several parking garages in the area. Go Rivermen!

As a business traveler to the region, I was looking for something to do besides sit my in hotel…read moreroom and watch TLC all night and I also love hockey. For $25 I received an on the glass seat for an exciting game against the Oklahoma City Barons. Best $25 I have ever spent! Multiple times players would smash into the glass a foot in front of me and nearly knock me out of my seat. The beer selections were good and cheap. I did notice that I was the only person in the arena without Rivermen gear. I immediately went to the pro shop for some apparel. $60 for an adult sweatshirt!? Holy cow. Luckily, I can fit into a child's size for $30. My only disappointment was the false representation by the mascot. The pictures show a tough ship captain after a long day on the river. Then, out skates a fluffy overweight bear? Why not change the team name to Peoria Overweight Bears? Does Peoria even have bears?

Going to the Bradley Basketball games is quite fun! As a member of the band, I get to stand right…read morebehind one of the baskets while playing my instrument, so it is up close. The team is quite good at home, too, boasting a 271-85 record between 1982 and 2007. If you can only go to one of the games, go to either the Illinois State game (the rivalry between those two schools is called the "War On 74"), any of the non-conference games against the top teams, or any post-season NIT or CBI games. Michigan State came this past year, and people were standing on their feet for most of the game, making a ton of noise. Even though we still lost (66-61), it was still fun. Butler (a top 25 team) is coming to Carver in the 2008-2009 season since we played there last year, and it should be loud during that game, too! Of course, the CBI games this year and the NIT games last year had very energized crowds. The only thing that makes this a 4-star and not a 5-star entertainment option are the crowd-quieting promotions that occur during the timeouts. Seriously, we don't need to see two people in the upper bowl get escorted to courtside seats, or see someone answering a trivia question for a $15 dry cleaning certificate during EVERY GAME. Granted, there have been worse promotions (including the Par-A-Dice dice throwing promotion, where people threw six big oversized dice on the court for a chance spell "B-R-A-V-E-S" and win prizes) and the basketball-related promotions are decent, but most of them are only there so Bradley can charge less money for the seats. The only promotion that actually got the crowd active was the longball competition, and that occurred during most of the women's basketball games and only one of the men's basketball games. P.S. I marked this under "Professional Sports Teams" because there is no option for "College/University Sports Teams".

They now have two 11-station courses plus a 6-target 5-stand. Atmosphere is very casual and friendly. They frequently host charity events, bringing in $1000s for Easter Seals, St Jude, MS, and others. It's always a good time to shoot sporting clays at Oak Ridge. This has been a tough year for them financially because of the governor-dictated COVID-19 shutdown which, IMO, makes as much sense as closing golf courses and fishing lakes. Hoping they'll survive.
