This is a fun, regional league ball park! The food is standard ball park food. We had hot dogs, fries, and cookies. There is a kids' area on one side of the park and a beer garden on the other side. The beer garden has a lot of local beers! PRO TIP: The luxury boxes are enclosed, accessible, and relatively affordable. I recommend looking at these for your private event. read more

Great little stadium in the heart of Lancaster. It's a nice size, and since it's on the smaller side, I don't think there's a bad seat in the place. The suites/boxes are really lovely, too. All the stadium staff I interacted with were very nice. There were an abundance of concession stands and food/beverage choices. (I was super impressed with the "Field of Greens" healthier options, as well as the multitude of local and craft beer choices.) Prices are very reasonable. Overall, this is a nice place to spend a Sunday afternoon! read more

This review is for the Christmas Spirit Light Show. We were staying at the hotel across the street so we walked over intending to stroll around and see the Christmas trees and enjoy the lights after a nice dinner in town. The man at the entrance told us the walk through part is closed, only the drive through experience is open. We walked up to the gate and it was closed even though it appeared that there was activity inside. So we headed back to the hotel to retrieve the car and had to wind our way around the city to find the entrance (signage could be better). We paid the $25 and drove along the pathway, but the person behind is rode our back bumper with headlights on so we felt rushed and did not enjoy the lights as much as we could have. As we drive into the stadium we noticed people walking around inside! So as we exited, I ran over to the ticket seller and explained what had been told to us: she said the Christmas tree walk-through was open! So we parked and checked the gate again and it was open! And that experience was delightful! I voted for the adorable "Girls on the Run" sponsored tree and felt better, but question: was it a weird glitch or a ploy to get our $25 for an experience we didn't want? read more

Came for a ballgame with tickets from my employer. Parking was good but not well marked. Staff that we asked questions of was very friendly and helpful. Typical expensive ballpark fair. $4 hotdogs. $11 chili cheese fries, etc. was a bit disappointed they did not have any popcorn. There is an all you can eat bbq for $28 pregame for 2 hours. Looked good - we might try it next time. Plenty of craft brews available. Large children's play area with carousel and mini bounce house. Nice day out with the family in Lancaster city. read more

You're quite limited with choices for evening entertainment when out in Lancaster, PA, but they are home to a baseball team. The Lancaster Barnstormers call Clipper Magazine Stadium home. While they are not a minor league affiliate, they do have some sort of MLB affiliation. They have all the entertainment and concessions bells & whistles other minor league ballparks have. Concessions were overpriced and pretty low in quality. There is a lively tented patio area in right field. A first for me - there is a carousel out in left field near the lawn seating. How's that for some family friendly charm? Ticket pricing is in line with other regional minor league ballparks and parking is free in the lots adjacent to the stadium. While the overall experience was nothing to write home about, the stadium has the solid foundation for a fun night out to experience America's national pastime. read more

Pretty easy to get to and get parked, you will need to walk a bit to the gates. I noticed they have 4 gates but 2 of them are only for season tic holders & sky box so everyone else had to cram into 2 gates. Once inside there were a couple of concessions and a store to buy merchandise. Long lines on this visit, so best bet is to get there early and get your food, drink or risk missing the action waiting in line. Beer station at the end of the concourse with some diff options $6-$8 a cup. As for the food options burgers, hot dogs, chicken, snacks, sodas, ice cream it can add up! The game was good lots of action, independent league. Only complaints was the lines that could have been handled a bit better, no soap in the bathroom I used, light staff. read more

Opening day and the concession lines were 100 people plus every where. Could not get a hot dog without waiting 45 mins on a line. So ridiculous. read more

I have been to Clipper Magazine Stadium in Lancaster, PA for two Barnstormers games this season. During each visit I could not find anything to say in the negative category with the exception of general parking which is a hike from behind the stadium's centerfield. Inside of Clipper Magazine Stadium I found a good variety of concessions, most with short lines and one (hand dipped ice cream) a wait of approximately 10 minutes as it was on a Saturday. I was equally impressed by the cleanliness of the stadium itself including the restrooms. But the best I will save for last. The baseball team and the stadium personnel are some of the friendliest folks. They are there to see that you have a great time. read more

This stadium is the perfect size, no lines or crowds. My family and I all went to a baseball game here. Some of us bought stadium seats and some of us bought lawn seating but we all ended up sitting on the lawn. It was so close to the field, you could actually see the players faces - so much more comfortable than being cramped in a seat next to a stranger. The best part was that right behind the lawn is a playground that included a large bouncy slide and carousel for the kids. Oh wait, that wasn't the best part, the best part was that after the game they had a fireworks display that was breath taking, better than the huge one that we saw on the Fourth of July. I think I may like minor league games more than major league. read more

They have just about everything you need no matter if it's two for date night or taking the family out for the game. We were able to bring some friends and their kids who were visiting. They had a great time. The little one was able to play in the kids area almost the whole time. My wife got to spend time with her friend since she was kids and I got to hang out with her husband and had a few craft beers. We already ate on the way in but they have a huge selection of food available from standard ballpark to tacos and BBQ. Oh yea. There was baseball game. They won so that's always fun and the fireworks after the game were great. So some tips, maybe I shouldn't give it away, But here it is. Check out their specials weekdays. Taco Tuesdays, wing Wednesday's. For one price you get access to the suite and all you can eat. We love those. They also have nights with all you can eat BBQ. Only thing that loses them a star. The online ordering could use some work. You pretty much have to go to the stadium early and buy. If their website would let you pick your seats on the map that would be great. And yea I know they have it on the site but we tried two different computers and 3 phones. Couldn't get the feature to work read more

This review is based off our experience at the Christmas Spirit Light Show Held at Clipper Stadium during the holiday season 2018: Through a Facebook event (you gotta love them!) we discovered they were giving wagon rides through the Christmas lights at the Stadium for $10 a person. We just happened to be dining nearby with two of our grandkids so the timely was perfect. However the weather was not with on and off rain, and the wagon rides were ultimately canceled. We figured we'd drive over there anyway to see what else they offered. Heading south towards town from North Prince Street we saw the sign for the Christmas light show at one of the entrances and were ready to pull in. Thankfully the guy in front of us ended up being the Guinea pig as that entrance was closed off, something you couldn't see from the street. Don't make this mistake as it's hard to pull back out. Instead use the main entrance a little further down. The light show was $25/car - something we didn't know going in. Had we known we might have reconsidered, however we were already there and our girls were excited. I reminded myself that the cost was less than we would have spent on the wagon ride had it been operational. We tuned in to the radio station required to hear the music that the lights are synchronized to and proceeded through. While the girls enjoyed the experience I thought it was rather lame and expected more at this price point, especially since last year the Neffsville Park had a similar but spectacular light show for less. I guess one of my biggest issues was it wasn't unique and the music did very little to enhance the experience. The music chosen wasn't the best choice for a dramatic light show. I would have loved to hear Carol of the Bells or a tune similarly dramatic but instead basic holiday jingles were played. I've seen better Christmas lights at a residential display. Driving through took us less than 10 minutes at a pace of about 5 miles per hour. The course itself is very curvaceous and some of the turns very sharp. We were in my midsize sedan thankfully as I couldn't see us making those tight turns in hubby's giant SUV. A few times we were confused at which way to go as the course wasn't prominent especially on a dark and wet evening. Thankfully our ticket also included access to the activities inside as there's a separate entrance fee for that. Signage again on how to actually enter the interior of the stadium was lacking. We were told inside was full of different activities for the kids, as well as many decorated trees you can pay to vote on for charity. There were also a few small ice sculptures, a small ice slide, and several photo prop areas. Santa was there as well. A few of the ideas were really cute. There was a letter writing station and mailbox to send your wish list to Santa. The trees were each decorated and sponsored by a local business. Tickets to vote were $1 each and benefited the charity of that business's choice. The Grinch and the Nightmare before Christmas were our favorites. We saw Anna from Frozen but our girls were confused why Elsa wasn't there and any parent of a Frozen fan will tell you that made no sense to have one princess and not the other. Silo walked around and took pictures. At one point Mrs. Claus came and whisked us upstairs to a private skybox which by far was the highlight of this entire experience. There she read two books to our toddler girls, totally in character and just for them. She was wonderful and played that role perfectly. While upstairs in the warmth we also sat and relaxed while they colored and drew. The entire time we were up there (which was probably about 30-40 minutes) our children were their sole focus and no other children came up. We were told crafts and games were available in a heated tent which we did find but they were disappointing. The nickel and dime ticket fee to play the makeshift carnival games didn't warrant the price we paid already + the additional cost. We would have paid for the face painting had the line not been so long. Santa was also up there but pictures with him cost a whopping $8 each and you couldn't even enter the area if you had your cell phone out. Overall I hope this entire event was charity driven because if not they're overcharging just to bank it themselves. If you do go save the ice slide for last and because your child will be wet and cold. This advice came from Mrs. Claus herself and I'm glad we listened as their little bottoms were a wet mess! Children over the age of 5 won't be impressed by any of the activities offered and mom and dad will leave with an empty wallet. While the stadium also offers other events year round this will be our only time visiting the holiday light show. read more

I was here yesterday for princess day at the ballpark between the gastonia honey hunters and the Lancaster Barnstormers and I had such a great time. I got to see and meet 5 different Disney Princesses: Elsa, Elena, Cinderella, Belle, and Tiana. I also got to see the mascot silo. I enjoyed this beautiful Sunday game as I got to be on the field before and after the game. I totally recommend this stadium and the barnstormers to all Lancaster citizens and all baseball fans as this stadium provides entertainment for all fans for every home game! Can't wait for another stormers game!! read more

I went to a barnstormers game a couple of times when the stadium first opened. Its clean and well kept and if you have kids or really like baseball (neither of which I do), then youll really enjoy your experience here. They set off fireworks at late hours a couple of times a month, even tho the neighborhood complains about it. They say sorry and keep right on going as if to say "we hear you and dont really care. thanks for your interest in our stadium". read more

Always a good time - and talk about bang for your buck! The baseball isn't the best, but what do you expect? This is the place for kids. Good playground, a carousel, some other amusements and lots of mid game activities as well. The players are always willing to sign anything handed to them. The summer often hosts a fantastic fireworks show as well. read more

Great ballpark! But food service and the LINES are way too long for the prices they charge! Minor league in every way - too bad! Otherwise, it's a great venue. read more

Stadium is great. Turkey Hill ice cream kiosk only had one worker at the May 5 Saturday night game. . Line was 30 deep we waited over 25 minutes. The girl working, Emily was doing a great job. But this wasn't a friendly thing when you want to experience the game. read more

I was in the Harrisburg-Lancaster area alone on business this past week. So I thought I'd head over to Lancaster to check out a ballgame last night after I was done with work (In all fairness, I would have gone to a Harrisburg Senators game, but they were out of town). I must say that I've never been to a ballgame by myself before. But the people I was sitting near were so friendly and they really made me feel at home. That's one of the nice things about minor-league games--the fans are so wonderful. Clippper Magazine Stadium is a really nice ballpark. It is a little newer than the minor-league park near my house, Consol Energy Park,(home of the Washington, PA Wildthings). But it seems so much more substantially built. There's shade and the seating is much more comfortable. I had a good view of the field from my seat, which was on the first base side. The park has a large kids' play area and a huge lawn section too. The food here is pretty good too. I had a good barbecue beef sandwich from The Carvery. I don't drink, so I can't comment on the beer selection here. They have a nice selection of souveneirs too. I treated myself to a new ladies' tank top and a ball cap. Adjustable of course, so I can put my pony tail through the gap in back! read more

Caught an amazing Barnstormers game against the York Revolution not too long ago. Really thought the home team was gonna pull through with the win but in the end, they lost 9-10. Regardless, Clipper Magazine Stadium is a great place to catch a minor league game. I've been there a few times now and like most minor league parks, there's really not a bad seat in the house (though seats along the third base line will keep you out of the setting sun). Concessions aren't the most exciting, but in the years in between my visits they have started daily promotions. For the 2015 season, $20 gets you a ticket and all you can eat seats on Monday (pig roast) and Tuesdays (chicken bbq), Wednesday was $1 dogs and all you can eat wings, Thursday was buy one get one free burgers, Friday was $2 12oz beer drafts from 6-8pm. Saturdays are designated fireworks nights and Sundays are for the kids (catch on the field/running of the bases). Parking is free but limited. Street parking is also available around the stadium. Local favorites Turkey Hill ice cream, Auntie Anne's soft pretzels and Hess's BBQ are available at Clipper Magazine Stadium concessions. The Barnstormers mascot Cylo can be found working up the crowd during the games as well. Be sure to also check out the team store. I scored a sweet $5 Lancaster Barnstormers t-shirt on clearance at my first Barnstormers game. That's almost as cheap as the tickets. read more

I came up here to see a minor league baseball game between the Lancaster Barnstormers (this is their home stadium) and the Somerset (NJ) Patriots. Thanks to the Lancaster Farmland Trust for the invitation and the nice experience in the suite. The stadium is small but super nice and super clean. There are are a good variety of vendors and the fan shop (for all the apparel and such) is well stocked and friendly. 10% off for season ticket holders and suite ticket holders. It's a nice touch to reward fans who really support the team. There's also lots of cool play areas for the kids who aren't quite into baseball, yet. All the staff is super friendly. Bottom line: it's a great family night out. The team isn't that great and baseball, at this level, is just OK. It's just a great night of wholesome fun. read more

I travel all over the this great country of ours. Nothing makes me happier than a unique classic minor league baseball game. I have seen multiple stadiums all over the country, and I love this stadium. It is a Independent League team, but honestly, it's baseball. Clippers Magazine stadium is a new stadium, with some nice features. What makes a great stadium is if it can make every age group smile. Without a doubt this stadium fits that bill. First for the kids, there are multiple rides and bumper boats in the outfield. For the grown folks there is a awesome beer selection and beer garden. All the staff I talked to were friendly. I would recommend this venue for a great family outing ! ! ! ! read more

What a great facility! This AAA independent team provides baseball connoisseurs with true baseball and not the overpaid gazilionair prima donna variety. I attended a meeting during the off season and can't wait to return ion the spring for some baseball ! read more

As a lifelong resident of nearby York, I came across the river to see the Revolution. Not surprisingly I was vastly out numbered but did see a few other Revolution fans. As for the fans they didn't seem happy to see the shirt I was wearing (expected) but didn't turn hostile or make me feel unwelcome. A couple dirty looks was the worst I got (again expected) As for the stadium it's a nice place to see a game with good views. The best was the large out field grass strip and the ability to completely circle the stadium without turning around. It's also an easy stadium to find. read more

Nice place to watch a ballgame, and the parking is free, which is always a plus. The only downside is that even though the parking is free, there are some far flung lots from the main entrance, though some of it is simply because when the stadium was built, the remnants of a rail yard existed on the one side of the property, thus limiting where and what parking lots could be used/built. Food prices are about what one would expect for a minor/independent league team, and ticket prices are reasonable as well (with discounts on certain seats if you bring a Sheetz card), and usually plenty of coupon giveaways after the game for pretty routine plays during a game (Fuddruckers coupons for the Barnstormers scoring 5 runs, another restaurant giving out coupons for double plays, etc.) Ushers are very friendly and helpful, and getting around the park is easy, though the only minor inconvenience is that at the main entrance, there can be a bit of a bottleneck with people coming in the park and getting their giveaways, and people walking on the concourse. Going to a game here would be something to consider. read more

Fun times in Lancaster. The tickets are cheap too and in the winter the field turns into a skating rink!

Great place to come spend an afternoon. Clean facilities and nice prices. Good games without going to Philly.

Love supporting our local baseball team and this stadium is a great venue to do so. There is not a bad seat in the place. Seats are comfortable with attentive staff and a well maintained field. Food is standard ballpark fare with a classic dog and fries. Prices are fair. Much better then the big boys prices. A great way to spend a nice summers eve with the family. read more

Great baseball stadium. Lancaster Barnstormers play here. Nice, new, AFFORDABLE!!!! youR seats are really are close to the field. Watch out for foul balls, because you are part of the action. why spend $100+ bucks to see the major leagues, when these guys play their hearts out for you in a beautiful new stadium, with great comfy seats.

This is a great ballpark, very nice ballpark. There is activities for younger children. I went there and the stormers played the somerset patriots. I was rooting for the patriots because I'm a patriots fan. I got a ball flipped to after the game and bought an atlantic league ball and got it signed by a patriots player. Also, a nice patriots player saw me with my patriots hat on and he asked me if I like jon lester. Then, I said yes I'm a red sox fan. He then gave me a cracked jon lester bat from when he was on the red sox. read more

Great ballpark, if you have kids they have a great play area. The food is really good and reasonably priced. The only down side is the players are either past their prime or not good enough for affiliated ball. Wish they would join the eastern league Lancaster already got approval from the senators and phillies. read more
