Love coming to the DBAP! This time was for something different - Festibull of Lights! It was awesome! We came on a Monday night and had quick and easy access to everything - no lines for Santa & Wool E. Bull photos, letters to Santa, the inflatable slide, and s'mores stations. We easily spent a few hours walking around with our kids enjoying all the lights and activities. It was the perfect evening! The kids also did a scavenger hunt and turned the paper in for a prize. The staff member working gave them an extra special prize that my son had adored - a replica of the 2022 championship ring! read more

I attended my first Minor League Durham bulls baseball game. I had full suite access and catered food along with fully stocked fridge of beverages. I really enjoyed the food and experiencing the game for the first time. The stadium was really nice. The seating was roomy and comfortable. The entertainment and music was enjoyed as well. The staff there were nice and welcoming. I had the chance to see, meet and take a photo with The Durham Bulls mascot Wool E. Bull. read more

Went for a Durham Bulls game recently - I've been going for years but had not been in a while. The game was on a Tuesday evening. I was able to find street parking but there are also the decks you can park in. It gets a little chaotic as game time approaches, so if you can handle that then it's great due to proximity. Tickets were well-priced. We were able to get some really great seats for $20 each. Getting in was quick and easy through both security and ticket scanning. Once inside, we chose the Mezcalito spot that is over on the side close to the big bull. I got 3 steak tacos and some chips and salsa for $15.99. To me, this is equivalent to what I would pay anyway for tacos, so I am thrilled with the price. The tacos were good too! Only downside is that a bottle of soda is $5.99 and a tall can of beer is $11. Then for dessert we had Two Roosters. They only do ice cream in a cup at the games, so no cone. I got the coffee bourbon and thought it was delicious. I don't typically get that flavor when I'm in the store. Overall, we had a very fun time at the game! Between tickets, parking, and food, it rounds out to about $75 per person for an evening. read more

The Durham Bulls Athletic Park is located in Downtown Durham. Parking is available in nearby garages and the streets if you can find a spot. There are many places to grab a bite to eat around the stadium. I had the opportunity to tour the stadium, so I couldn't pass up that opportunity. The lobby has the history of the Durham Bulls that includes retired numbers of players. #8 for Crash Davis (the character in Bull Durham, on the movie's 20th anniversary), #18 for Joe Morgan, #20 for Bill Evers, and #10 for Chipper Jones. #42 for Jackie Robinson was retired by MLB for all teams. The Durham Bulls are a AAA team for the Tampa Bay Rays. The stadium was built in 1995 and can hold 10,000 fans after it was expanded in 1998 when the Bulls became AAA. Some of the seats are in the open and some are under a roof. All the seats seemed pretty close to the field for good views. The movie Bull Durham had a snorting bull sign so that was added to this stadium in left field. If a player hits the bull and gets a home run, Angus Barn gives them a steak. Capital Broadcasting owns the Bulls so broadcasts the games on its secondary channel and the games are on the radio. I was quite impressed with the press box and broadcast rooms. Renovations moved the Bulls dugout from the first base side to the third base side so that they could put in a new training room, locker room and an indoor hitting area behind third base. The visitor's side was also renovated but I didn't get to see that. The Corner Store is large and has a variety of items from t-shirts to baseball caps to stuffed toys to baseballs to other items. read more

The Durham Bulls Stadium is one of my top recommendations for entertaining visitors. Between the affordable games, the relaxed atmosphere, and the great food options nearby, it's an easy and enjoyable outing for everyone. And if you're here during the holidays, the Festibull of Lights is a fantastic bonus--it turns the entire stadium into a beautiful, festive display that's perfect for families and friends. Definitely worth adding to your list when showing off Durham. read more

Durham Bulls Athletic Park is probably one of the best MLB AAA venues in the country. Situated in downtown Durham, the area around the facility has been built up over the years. It's a fan friendly and a great park to catch a game. There isn't a bad seat in the stadium. There are plenty of places nearby to grab a bite before the game however, the stadium concessions have multiple options such as burgers, hot dogs and tacos. Local craft beer is available here. Parking in the area is plentiful and most lots are a short distance away. The Bulls are the triple A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays. You will see future MLB players here and some who already made it to the "show." The quality of play at this level is almost MLB level. MLB rules such as a pitch clock exist which make the games progress quicker. It's a fun time coming out here. read more

This is an incredible venue. Easy access. Food is great with a large selection including charcuterie pretzels, hot dogs, sausage sandwiches and pretzel hamburgers with fry chips similar to the ones at Station Bar and Grill in Garwood, NJ. Whether the Bulls win or lose this is a great experience. read more

The stadium is nice enough and love the mascot it just lacked the fun and energy you'd expect when attending this type of baseball game. The bat dog wasn't there. The mascot did no dances and they didn't play much music over the speakers. Blahhjh read more

I had the opportunity to attend a Bulls game. My employer purchased tickets and I was able to get a couple. This was my 1st time attending a game and I really enjoyed my experience. I originally thought that we would be sitting in stadium seats but we actually had 2 different areas available only to my company employees and guests. The food was really good. We had hot dogs..hamburgers..grilled chicken..Mac and cheese..baked beans and cole slaw. There was also vegetarian options available as well. All in all, the experience was absolutely amazing and I will definitely attend another game. read more

Quick and short, but thought I'd answer the question, is it worth stopping by even if there isn't a game? The answer is yes. Super easy to get a good view of the field and it is super nice. You can see it from the outfield, but, because its small, you get a really good look at this amazing ballpark and field. Lots of little spots nearby, coffee shop, sports bar, markets. read more

We felt like catching a ball game and it was a great day to visit Durham. We visited the store and got us a couple of shirts, which we wore for the occasion.

Mother's Day trip to the DBAP, to see the Bulls take on the Nashville Sound. It was a great game - Bulls came from behind and won it by one run. The stadium is reasonably comfortable. There aren't any bad seats. Pro tip - opt for seats in the shade. This was an afternoon game and we sat on the 3rd base line, toward the outfield. It was scorching even though the temp was only in the 70's. Luckily sun was behind us for the last third of the game, so we got some relief. Bathrooms are clean and plentiful. Plenty of concessions serving all the baseball park standards. DBAP is a great, family friendly place to see some baseball. It's especially fun to see some MLB players rehabbing in a more casual setting. If you're a baseball fan, this is a great park to visit. #GoBulls #GoRays read more

I've not been for a game so this is a mid-post. We went as a family for a company picnic. The event was ok however I'm grateful it was company sponsored as the cost for what was available wasn't what I would expect for work. We actually thought the best part was waking and seeing the lights in the Tobacco Area shops and restaurants. read more

Nowadays it's becoming increasingly difficult to find fun local activities that won't break the bank. A lazy afternoon and less than $20 can get you an entertaining night of baseball complete with hotdogs, beer, and cracker jacks among other sweets and treats. In between play Wool E. Bull will keep you and kids entertained with various antics. Coming to a game you will get a very local and positive Durham experience. Tips: Friday and Saturday nights are many times fireworks nights which are worth staying for. No outside food or drink and I recommend getting a 32oz drink in a souvenir cup. Park in the North Parking deck for a short walk through the tobacco district but it's less traffic after the game than the deck directly across from the stadium. read more

How could you not love the Durham Bulls stadium? It's such a cute place to spend a Friday night. There are some good options for snacks and drinks. There's also many great food options within walking distance for after the game. They try to keep you entertained throughout the whole game, which is fun. The smallish size of the stadium means there are no nosebleed sections! I love the Durham Bulls and I'll definitely be back! read more

First time at the DBAP since I moved to the area back in 2005. My wife got invited to a client appreciation event by a local mortgage company , so we went. Parking was a bit confusing probably because we weren't familiar with anything, but the directors of traffic were helpful. Finally, we ended up at the North parking deck. We had a nice walk to the baseball park and once there, the ushers were quite helpful getting us to the party deck area. Food consisted of pulled pork, shredded chicken barbecue, hot dogs, mac n' cheese, and coke slaw; all of which were delightful. Drinks consisted of just about every soda you could think of, water, beer and wine. The Bulls won the game and all in our party had a great time. I had no idea what I had been missing! We'll be back! Had a great time! read more

Durham Bulls Athletic Park - Every seat is a good seat! - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Love going to baseball games here! The bathroom facilities are excellent, and are always clean. They have multiple food vendors, both permanent and temporary locations. Was slightly bummed that the Locopops vendor was not present at the last game, but I am hopeful for their presence at future games. Parking is convenient in the nearby garage, and the short walk to the stadium provides much entertainment, as there are some subtle water features which intrigue many young children. The food prices are on par with other stadiums. read more

This is a great place!!! Super clean and the staff is so friendly and helpful. Lots of activities going on. Great for all ages!!!

The stadium and area is gorgeous! We chose seats in the outfield and the view of the field did not disappoint. The outfield area is great - there are bathrooms, kids area, beer tents, ice cream and a food truck. If you want more food options, the concession stands are down the stairs by the main stadium seating. Like most stadiums, you can bring in a sealed bottle of water! The food and seating prices were good- we frequent minor league stadiums all over and this is up there on my list! They did a really great job of keeping the fun, family feel with all the fan involvement. We had a rain delay but they kept everyone updated and I saw multiple employees with umbrellas walking people to covered areas or escorting them to the bathroom to help keep the fans dry. The fireworks show after the game was amazing! The "old school" scoreboard, the bull that lights up and the friendly staff only added to the fantastic experience we had during the game. read more

Here's the tip before the rest of the review: If you get here early enough, you can tell people that you're headed to one of the nearby restaurants instead of having to pay to park. So good luck with that. I arrived super early to get a good table at Tobacco Road but that was early enough to get into the ballpark for battle practice. This is a great park. Lots of seating, several sky boxes, comfortable seats and lots of fan engagement. Parking is super easy with lots of lots nearby. It's on the campus of several large businesses so I found it not completely easy to navigate but they have signage and that really helps. Charlotte Knights at Durham Bulls. Great to see the bull light up for home runs but the home team didn't hit enough of them because Charlotte won, 9-3. [Review 11674 overall, 1456 of 2019.] read more

There's a minor league team here in Maryland, but it's different from the vibes created by the Durham Bulls, their staff and their fans. It's very Friday Night Lights to me and I love that energy: it's like you can physically grasp the hometown pride. This was my second time visiting the park for a Bulls game - first time, we had a private space in the John Deere Bullpen (super cool to witness the game from that POV), and this time, seats near the dugout. The games are as fun as the people you come with, so luckily for me, I've had a blast each time. The location of the park is excellent and very walkable. Garage parking right next door with special rates for games and local police guiding traffic. read more

This is a great ballpark! Durham is lucky to have something like this in the area. There are several parking decks right next to the ballpark. Of course, it is pay to park, but it is reasonable... I think it was $7. There are several bars, restaurants and places to hang out right next to the ballpark that you can go to before or after. We didn't do this, but lots of people do. We attended the ACC 2019 baseball tournament. This ballpark is clean and the staff seem quite competent. A large majority of the seating is under an awning with large fans which is great on hot days!! I doubt there are many bad seats in the house. It is not a huge ballpark so even if you are not right on the field, you feel close to it. They sell beer, soda and food- prices are kind of what you would expect. 7$ for a beer.. as an example. This place is fantastic. I plan to return to other games in the future. read more

We came here with another couple on a Saturday night. Come early for parking ($7) as there are several restaurants in walking distance. Very clean and organized stadium with clear signage. Not too big and comfortable seats with good visibility. The firework display was outstanding and lasted several minutes!

Seems kind of odd to write a review of a baseball park during a pandemic that canceled Minor League Baseball, but the Bulls organization is still top notch and helped my company (WGU North Carolina) host a group of military families for two Military Family Nights. Safety precautions were in place and families had to sign waiver forms and state that they did not have any COVID-19 symptoms. The families got to play catch, run the bases, take batting practice, play cornhole and connect four, and just enjoy being outdoors. In between each session, they sanitized the equipment. Every family received a bag of swag upon their departure. read more

Great Ballpark in the heart of downtown Durham. Lots of construction happening around the stadium (new condos, apartments, etc) to make Durham more walk-able. Wasn't here for a game, but a beer festival. All the vendors were set up around the stadium so you got a feel for the place since you had to pretty much go all over the stadium. What I learned: there really isn't a bad seat in the house. The nice thing about this stadium is that it's super intimate and accessible for family/community fun. I need to make it up to see a game at some point, but since Charlotte has the Knights, it's a hard case to drive up for minor league baseball, but at least the option is there. With the construction downtown, there are good parking decks to handle the influx of vehicles. Nearby businesses in converted factory buildings share the downtown space and are really providing a nice spot for live, work and play. read more

The Durham Bulls camp out. My Girl Scout troop and I enjoyed the game at the Durham Bulls stadium for their bi annual Durham Bulls camp out. This time I had my husband drop me off but the parking is great. There are some spaces in front of the stadium if you are lucky enough to get them. But there are parking garages in the area. This particular game was packed with children because of the camp out but it was a joy seeing them having fun. The stadium was well kept and shortly after the game was over the staff started to clean up. They did it quickly too. When we signed up for the event we were under the impression that the troops would get a meal with their ticket but the ticket was only worth $5 and the girls were only able to get 1 thing I felt like they should have least given them more so that they can get a hotdog + a drink or chips. This was a big downside because by the end of the night they were hungry. Sleeping in the field was really nice. We enjoyed it and not at any moment did we feel it was unsafe. Overall good night just the food thing is what kind took us back. read more
