We saw an advertisement that the Chicago snowballs were going to be in Clinton, Iowa, and we've been trying to get Savannah Bananas tickets for years, so we jumped on this to take our grandkids
It was $100 for two adults and two kids for a midday Sunday ballgame. It's general seating so we arrived just about when they opened the gates and sat right behind home plate - honestly, in this location we really didn't need to arrive that early to get good seats but had no idea how busy it would be. I would say seating was maybe 60% old so there was plenty of room.
It's quite the party when you come in with high-fives and loud music and great fun- they get the kids to sign their bats when they arrive and they spend the rest of the time mingling when they're not in the outfield - signing hats, balls, whatever and taking pictures.
The game was SO fun- the kids loved it. The dancing; weird inning rules and scoring, it was great family fun.
I want to say an extra thank you to this facility for having reasonable food and drink pricing. We always get SO gouged when we go to these places and we felt like we could enjoy a snack without taking out a mortgage on the house.
We did have just a little bit of a delay as there was lightning in the area and we had to wait for the storm to pass, but they started the game right back up as soon as it was clear. during that time; the players were back out, mingling with the fans in the stands, signing autographs and taking photos and just generally having a good time meanwhile, the DJ was playing wonderful songs like purple rain and rainy days and Mondays, it was just hilarious
Also, if you hang around to the end, they open the gate and allow all the kids onto the field, and there was this massive group of kids and players were leading them to run all the bases, it was just a really fun time and great interaction for the kids to be able to meet these ball players
Thank you to this organization for all you do to make baseball fun- very appreciated and we got to make some wonderful memories with our grandkids! read more
