There is no better place to go to watch a baseball game... The entire staff of Day Air Ballpark are some of the nicest people. Not a bad seat in the house. Somewhat easy parking all over the area for a cost but if you're early enough and don't mind walking a short distance you can park in street at no cost. read more

Really nice ballpark here right near the University of Dayton. Looks like it's been around for 25 years but has been pretty well taken care of. I'm the older side but with a really nice Jumbotron. All the seats seem to be close to the field doesn't look like a bad seat in the house. Entrance was quick and easy. Had to go down a little alleyway to get to the main entrance, but there seem to be a festival type thing going on this weekend. That was all set up just outside the ballpark. I'm sure on weekend game when something else is going on, I'm sure that's a blast. Not a whole lot of entry gates, but it didn't seem to be a problem when I got there. They do have an area out in Leftfield. That seems to be for large groups. Food was pretty much standard, ballpark fair, at least I haven't run across anything that I don't see it generally every other part. It looks as if one end of the stadium is under some construction. Looks like they're adding some additional seats or additional press box area. Really a great place for baseball. read more

Fun atmosphere - not a bad seat in the house. Plenty of open areas in the sun or shade to enjoy the game and concessions.

I love this the fans are great, the mascots were amazing, and the stadium is pretty cool for a minor league baseball team read more

We've been coming here for years... If you asked me to rate them back 5-7 years ago, they'd have gotten a solid five star review. I'm in a generous mood, and will add a star for all the collective years, but I think now they're probably closer to three or 3.5 stars. Why the change? It's still a wonderful setting, and a great, economical way to enjoy a night out with family and friends, but over the last few years, "improvements" seem to have led to there being less space for the general public and more "exclusive" areas for "special" groups. I understand that a good bit of their $$ come from special events, but it seems that more and more of their previously "common areas," including a nice outdoor "cafe" next to the bar, are now reserved exclusively for group events. Yes, you come to the game to sit in your seat and watch the game, but other stadiums seem to have to offer if you want to get up, stretch your legs a bit, and explore. Great facility, nevertheless. Not much change over the years as far as food or snacks go. Pricey, but not nearly as much as you'd pay at a Reds game. Lots of fun activities for the kiddos, frequent community outreach events, esp. honoring the military and their families, as well as a yearly beer tasting event, a 5K run (fun!!) and family movie nights. Plenty of nearby parking as well; try to get into town early if possible to snag a good spot. Also, as the area begins to boom, more restaurants and even a great local brewery are right nearby, so the fun can continue after the game. So...... In spite of my earlier whining and complaining, it's still some of the best entertainment Dayton's got to offer. Definitely worth a visit, if you're in the area!! read more

One of the best minor league parks in the country. Great atmosphere without a lot of riff raff. The food and drink options are great, a nice mix of various items throughout the park. Right field to left field is a 5 minute walk through the concourse. There's a reason this place is the gem of Dayton, OH. read more

Attended a Dayton Dragons game here recently. Day Air Ballpark is a very clean and open ballpark. Nice lawn area for watching the games, but was impressed by the other seating arrangements throughout the park. No seat is a bad seat here. Very nice staff and the food options are good and prices very reasonable. Location is great as well! read more

Day Air Ballpark - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Used to be great place to watch Baseball. Not any more as they plan to put up a cage all around the field. No more getting autographs, no more getting a foul ball tossed to a kid, no more t-shirt shots to start the game, lots less fun. After having season tickets since the club started, this is my last season. read more

A fun field. The stadium is located near several restaurants. The seats are comfortable with good sight lines. I suspect that the radar gun operator has a home team bias. The pitches thrown by Dragon's pitchers seemed to have faster reported pitch speeds. I will return. read more

As far as minor league parks go, this is one of the most comfortable without a doubt. All the seats outside of the suites in the second level are along the first and third baselines and through the home plate area. They have a shallow slope and no obstructed views. A higher end seat retails for $6 while you can reserve standing room entrance in the right field grass area for $4. There's food everywhere! There are a variety of sausages, franks, fried chicken, and beers to choose -although none of these items are as reasonably priced as the tickets for entrance. The concourses are open but somewhat narrow which can feel a little cramped, but their open air nature is very comfortable climate wise for summer nights in Dayton. Go Dragons! read more

My family and I love baseball and Dragons games are no exceptions. I haven't really had a bad seat in this place in the 10 years we've been coming to the stadium. I do prefer actual seats vs the grass just because when it rains it gets super wet and you can't sit. Prices for food and drinks are really affordable. Parking prices are great too. They have a lot of great family fun and entertainment. read more

Had a great time! Hot dog, brat and popcorn and a few alcoholic beverages! Great service and a fun time!

Fifth Third Field is home for the Dayton Dragons, the A Minor League team of the Cincinnati Reds. A ticket for the Dayton Dragons is one of the ten toughest sports ticket to obtain in the nation. The facility is beautiful and well kept. A night at Fifth Third Field with the Dayton Dragons is a good night to be had by all. Bring a little extra money for food (at Major League prices). Great family atmosphere. A real plus for the Dayton communities. read more

Day Air Ballpark - Dayton Dragons - a Home Run Hit! - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Me and a couple of friends took in a Dayton Dragons playoff game. The field very nice. The crowd a bit smaller which made it so much better. There really isn't a bad seat anywhere in this stadium. We were seated directly behind home plate, fantastic seats. The only bad thing I can say was they lot, but other than that it was awesome. read more

The stadium is pretty cozy, not too big and just in the right size! The lay out is great as well, we found our way in no time! Good sound system and many food options and beer. Try eating and drinking before you get there. Food is expansive! Hot dogs: $4, pop: $3.50, Beer: $6 When the game is over, try to get out as soon as you can before it gets crowded. Also be careful of other cars in the parking structure since most of the crowed is tipsy. Gooooooooooooooooooo DRAGONS!!!!!!!!! read more

Fun time with minor league baseball. Good to go with a large group or just a few people. Excellent location near downtown Dayton. Clean bathrooms good stadium food. Dragons on Score board let out smoke. Only downside is hard to get tickets in the seats you want when you want.... But that's cause it's a great venue. read more

Fifth Third Field the home for the Dayton Dragons, I attended Saturday nights game, as my parents secured tickets from a group my Dad is a member of - nice walking around the stadium, but it was hot, humid Saturday night. They have a variety of food options - tons of people in line for the gourmet nachos, bowl - everyone loves some Mexican don't they During a previous visit they had an air conditioned bar by 1st base, the bar is still there, but now is run by Milano's is open and not ice cold as in previous visits as I have asthma it was nice stopping in there, but the only cold place I could find for a break was the team store. They do give you free water & ice for your empty water bottle, which I filled several times throughout the game. The best beer value is getting Yuengling on draft you receive a pretty nice pour for $6.75. The Milano's craft beer is $7, which is a lot cheaper than the Reds Great American where craft is $9 and $13 for large. Fifth Third Field is a great venue for baseball game and family outing on a summer night. read more

I love Minor League Baseball, and with the Dragons selling out for the last 815 straight you know you are in for one amazing night in Dayton! I have been to Minor League games before, but none compare to the excitement of the crowd and the level of the stunts and entertainment between innings. We went with a group of 4 and were able to find some free parking just a few blocks away on the street, right along the river. The game was a blast and the team was actually very good. I could not believe how many people were there and they were all decked out in Green (note to self, that is the teams color so dig around and find something green). In between each inning their was a kid running laps around the bases, or a dance off with two guys wearing fairy costumes. I will tell you that the prices for food and beer are about the same for a Reds Game, but the tickets are much, much cheaper. It was a lighthearted, hilarious night that had all of us exited to get back to another game! read more

Went on a trip to Dayton and was invited to a Dayton Dragons game at the park. What a great park! My host forgot to put me on the will call list, and the ticket agent went on foot to find out if I was supposed to be on the will call list and sure enough, shows up a couple minutes later with a ticket. Now that's service! The ballpark almost felt like a big league park just in smaller form! Great food....lots of places to buy team merchandise. Big ol' jumbotron. Kinda feels like Dayton has their own big league team. Loved it!! read more

I've always said this a great place to come and hang with friends or family on a summer night in Dayton. Dragons games are super family friendly. The staff is helpful. The ballpark food is good and the pop and beer are cold. They have fun in between innings activities/entertainment which kids of all ages enjoy. read more

Stadium is very clean. The staff is very friendly. We recently went to a ball game there. Ticket sales window didn't have a line. Ticket scanners were friendly, and efficient. Didn't just scan and rush you. Stadium is very clean. Prices on food are great. No price gouging noted anywhere. Food was very good. They have the traditional stadium food but also have a few home grown concoctions going on too. Lawn area is clean and dry with grass no dirt. Ushers were very friendly and helpful. Always would smile or say hi. read more

Awesome place to take a family, a date, anyone actually! Up close and personal baseball experience! Not really a bad seat in the house. Grab a blanket and sit on the lawn for $7 any game you want. Food and drink is pricey but that's expected at any game. Awesome family experience if you take young ones! Make sure someone is paying attention if you sit on the first or third base side! Foul balls come at you a lot faster than you think! read more

Who doesn't love this place? Dayton isn't a megalopolis, but for the size of our city this is a fantastic ball park. If you have ever been to any other AAA ball parks before, this is one of the best. Sometimes they are just a field with dugouts and metal bleachers! I really can't say anything bad about Fifth Third field. Yeah, the food and beer prices are astronomical, but that's the case with any ball park. Either sneak in your own (shhhh) or don't buy anything. Definitely a five-star ballpark. read more

Congratulations to the Dragons and their fans..... 815 consecutive sell-out games. The crowd tonight was pumped and the game was AWSOME! The Dragons win it. Keep it up Dayton, don't let this "Gem" dull. read more
