FNB Field is a great and economical way to enjoy professional baseball. The stadium is located on City Island in the middle of the Susquehanna River--one of the most scenic ballpark locales I've visited. The Senators are the class AA minor league affiliate of the Washington Nationals so it isn't uncommon to catch a promising new star or an major league player in town for a rehabilitation start. Ticket and food/drink prices are quite affordable for a date or family night out. I typically sit in the "club" seats near home plate, which include unlimited access to food and soft drinks served in the club space. The food selection (buffet) is usually a couple of entrees and always includes burgers, hot dogs, and popcorn. Beer (including some local craft brews) is available for an additional charge. Note that the ballpark is generally cashless once you are inside.
I had such a great time at this event! The food and atmosphere was superbthe team even threw me a ball! I'm super stoked! I have a bunch of pictures down belowThis was my first baseball game and it surely didn't disappoint!
I love FNB field, it is sooo cool! They have events, baseball games, and more! Also, they have fireworks!!! I recommend going here.
My review depends on whether or not you enjoy classic ballparks or modern parks. I was lucky enough to be a teenager when Camden Yards opened up and in my 20's when Citizen Bank opened. This park is more of a modern park with small concourses (I get it, it's on an island). The parking situation is ok but getting out is a nightmare. We had dinner before we came so I can't speak on the concessions but they have your normal stuff and then some specialty foods for the ballpark. They do have an extensive tap room in the outfield and you can get cocktails made under the first base stands. The ballpark is clean and the staff is very nice.
Damn, yet another fantastic experience on City Island with the Senators. Truly speaking, what's not to like here? Parking is only $5 and if you want to cheap out for a weekend game when the government is closed, you can always park for free downtown and walk across the Walnut Street Bridge. Overall the Senators do not draw well. We pimped for club seats same day and while fairly heavy in terms of pricing for minor league baseball, we had front row seats which are essentially closer to the plate than the pitcher is. If you do splurge for the pimp seats, it's an all you can feed buffet of dogs, burgers, popcorn, meatballs, pulled pork (surprisingly very good) and gnocchi (surprisingly very bad). I could be forgetting something but it's all also all you can drink soft drinks and adult libations are available for purchase but it's all can and nothing on tap. Note that the food stops at 8:30pm so get your feed on early and the booze stops in the 7th inning. Of course there are cheesy giveaways to Red Robin and I think a plumbing company but all of that is what makes coming to places like this fantastic. Oh right, the baseball. The Senators are perennially horrible and it's not hard to see why the parent company is right now arguably the worst team in MLB. Basically no offense the entire night between them and Akron along with an embarrassing combination of 27 K's between the two teams, 4 throwing errors, a wild pitch or two or a few calls by the 3B ump that had the crowd calling him Angel Hernandez for how bad they were. The one bright side was that Akron was down 1-0 in the top of the 9th and their 1B Micah Pries was sitting dead red on first pitch heat and hit one that probably landed in Carlisle. Absolute. Moon. Shot. Overall the prices are still decent enough, the stadium while basic has everything the average person would need for a fun night out at the park. Honestly the only worth changing here is I still say that they have the worst mascot in professional sports. What the hell is a Rascal and what does he really do here except look stupid? I digress.
I think this was the best minor league stadium I have visited. Beautiful park on City Island in Harrisburg, Pa (The Columbus, Ohio of Pennsylvania). A must visit if you're in the area.
Enjoyable minor league stadium for the Harrisburg Senators, the Double-A affiliate of the Washington Nationals. Minor league ballparks can really range in how built up and enjoyable vs. run down they are, and FNB Field is surprising in its attention to making a very walkable and inviting stadium with local flavor thrown in (local brews for craft beer night, etc). Plus, not every AA ballpark has a club space (some AAA stadiums don't even have them, it seems), so being able to enjoy the setup in the club at FNB Field was a bonus. That said, the variety of seating is great... tables with umbrellas, counter seats, bleachers, and regular seating in the stands... it's a great variety and offers options for everyone. Very clean stadium too. Also? Super helpful and welcoming staff here as well. Seems to also be plenty of parking available for a small price, though you can walk from downtown Harrisburg - there's a bridge that connects you to City Island for accessing the stadium and all. Beware of mayflies, of course, because the stadium is near the water. To avoid them, try not to sit near the more lit parts of the stadium during night games. TL;DR Nicer park than I expected, would certainly visit again.
I have been going to The Harrisburg Senators for years! The atmosphere is always amazing and the staff are very well trained and the facility is always clean. Possibly upgrade the arena at some point?
Spectacular venue! Easy to park on the island for only $5. Concessions are reasonably priced. Views are great. Fun was had by all.
This is a really great minor league stadium. I paid a visit while in the area for business. It is a beautiful ballpark, in a very pretty setting along the riverside. The prices were also very reasonable. The concessions very very conventional, but the prices fair as well. I recommend this park for a nice night out at the ballgame!
There are a lot of things I really like about Metro Bank Park, home of the Harrisburg Senators. For example, the fact that it is literally on an island. And the fact that said island is walking distance from the city of Harrisburg is also a nice touch. The park itself is very family friendly and has many options to keep little ones occupied if they get bored with the game itself. However, this is where I have to deduct a star. It's almost too busy. So many food stands. So many activities for the kids. So much to distract from the game. Don't get me wrong, I like options, but I think Metro Bank Park goes a little overboard. The distractions didn't take me away from the game, though, and I was able to enjoy our dugout seats and some fine crowd interaction with Rascal the mascot. Attending an early afternoon game is recommended so you can leave your car on the island after the game and walk into the city.
Great local minor league baseball club. Tickets are dirt cheap, the games are entertaining, the location on city island provides a number of fun things to do before or after the game (Riverboat rides, mini-golf, carriage rides, food, other sports), and they seem to always have promotions and giveaways. I've been here just on my own but also for a company function which was a lot of fun, you can reserve a pavilion area and have a private picnic at the game. And quite honestly, because of the small size of the stadium there isn't a bad seat in the house.
My wife and I attended a Senators game for a Yelp event on Saturday, Sept. 5th. The weather was perfect for a baseball game. We impressed with how well laid out the stadium was. The stadium is small by baseball standards, which is what made it appealing The seats were located along the third base line in the outffield and comfortable and offered an excellent view of the entire field and stadium. There are plenty of concession stands offering favorites such as hot dogs, hamburgers, French fries, pizza, hot pretzels, sofet drinks, beer, etc. The staff members were friendly and cheerful and served the fiod promptly. Merchandise and souvenirs are offered as well Prices were average for stadium food. Cash is not accepted once inside the stadium. Debit and credit cards are the only form of payment accepted. There is a good sized multi level parking garage several hundred yards away from the stadium that accepts cash or credit cards. There are plenty of restrooms located throughout the stadium and were clean and well maintained. We were very happy with our experience and would definitely be willing to return. I recommend this event for both children and the young at heart. We had a really good time. read more

Great location on City Island. Parking can be paid with cash or a card... card includes a $.50 upcharge, but very convenient. They have handicap accessible parking and seating which is a plus. The ramps in the stadium are surprisingly gentle. I also appreciate that the stairs aren't steep and the seating is pretty comfortable. The stadium boasts that it's cashless but some stands do accept cash. The new lighting is great. It cut down on the mayfly issue considerably! I'm loving the support for local businesses. This is the first large center I've gone to that offered Middlesworth chips as opposed to a national brand. Lots of adult beverage options if that's your thing All and all, just a really pleasant and comfortable experience. You should come out to support our local baseball team!! I don't think you'll be disappointed, they're pretty awesome. read more
We attended a Yelp event on City Island to attend a Senator's Baseball game. It has been years since I've been to this stadium. What a nice evening!!!! Love the stadium! The variety of foods is great. The stadium seemed very clean, easy access to restrooms as well. Thank you for such a nice evening! We will be back! read more

Opening day. Parking is a joke. One line in. Food stands 10 workers standing around while one register is open and that person takes orders and gets the food. Come on Senators staff you can do better. read more

Wonderful stadium for a minor league team. Lots of family friendly activities. The players will sign autographs for you and you can interact with them before and after the games. Not really a bad seat in the stadium. There are lots of food options so something for everyone. They even have funnel cake fries! Parking is $4 and the lots fill up quickly so plan a little extra time to get situated. There are other activities not associated with the baseball stadium that happen in this location, mini golf, train rides, etc. So that does bring additional traffic. You can walk here easily from downtown and they have a bridge that connects to and overpass near the stadium. read more
Beautiful ballpark! Food selection is good, though naturally it's stadium food and beverages so it is all pricey. The group programs are good, and we had great seats under shade for our group, section 206. The small fountain beverage, hot dog, chips, and hat combination were great in addition to our tickets. Handicapped parking takes paying close attention When being directed to the back. When I politely asked a parking attendant about where to enter, as we were parked behind the stadium for the first time, she told me where I could climb the fence. Okay, it was a joke, but a bit weird for someone entering from this parking lot. Then we got to the back gate, and they were unfamiliar with our group, had to call someone out front at Will Call. We appreciate someone running tickets to us, we really do. As we stood there, we watched the last of the 1,000 free t-shirts going to people arriving until there were 2 extra larges left. Come on, staff! We arrived early, established that we were really supposed to be there. It felt like we were penalized for 1, being with a group, and 2, being parked in handicapped area in the back. We arrived at FNB park at 5:05, yet we were delayed by parking and gate staff. Again, we appreciate someone getting tickets to us at back gate. We still had to walk to the front for our hats. This process could be better synchronized. Anyone who is a walker with mobility issues would find this difficult and might be discouraged to return. The game was fun! Get some logistics squared away. And we'll see more Yelp stars!! This is a great place for all! read more

On a blog that I help to write, some skilled writers and myself go out and review local baseball parks on ten different categories, with each category having multiple features and being given a score out of 10. At the conclusion of the season, we will compare all the parks we visited to see which one is the most fan friendly. To give you an idea of the categories we grade on, refer below. Unfortunately, my actual review is more than 2300 words which means I can only fit about one third of it on Yelp, so please refer to the link below to get full details (there are no ads and I promise the link is real). Below our scores are descriptions of what each category should generally entail, as being able to fit what the actual park grades at in this review is impossible.

Me and my family have attended few Senator baseball games in the past but this one was one of the best. We had great box seats right behind home plate. FNB Field has 21 corporate suites having their own private seating areas. The stadium has concession areas with a number of food options. This season, single game ticket prices range from $9 to $35.The Club seats have larger seats and the best view of the stadium as well as an all-you-can-eat buffet with traditional ballpark fare as well as various other options - hamburgers, chicken tenders, hot dogs, ice cream and pizza. They also had a dessert cart with - carrot cake, peanut butter cake, cheesecake, ice-creams, gummy bears. The senator's mascot - Rascal even paid us a visit and we all get pictures with him. July 22nd was Superhero Day- many in the stadium came dressed as their favorite character. We were in a big group and some kids in our group got a Super Hero Cape. The Superheroes were mingling in the crowds too and performing their acts and pictures were being taken with them. In between the innings various activities were being held in the stadium - superhero races, musical chairs, lucky draws and their announcements, contests. It was an interesting game and senators won 7-3 - bonus was the fireworks show at the end which was absolutely awesome and the best view in this small stadium. Overall a fun evening until the very end. read more

A nice ball field with plenty going on before and during the game! Price depends on where you choose to sit. $5.25 for a small beer. Food seems a bit pricey but probably normal for a ballpark. Clean restrooms and a very clean park. read more

This is an awesome ball park to go to for a cheap day out. The park itself is located on City Island, lots of great walking/picnic area, water golf is right there, batting cages, food stands and a river tour. Tickets are cheap.. and they always have promos going on and special events. Last night was "wet nose wednesday" so we got to take our fur babies with us and enjoy the nice weather. The stadium is always clean, great staff, and cool things to do for kids inside. Great cheap food and beer selection. We look forward to spending a lot more time this summer at the ball park! read more

Harrisburg fans are a very passionate bunch and tried in vain to rally their team. The grandstand is made of aluminum and fans stomp their feet and make the stadium shake. However many also left a one run game in the top and mid ninth. The other great thing was the concession prices, by far the cheapest. read more

Had a tremendous experience here! Wish I lived closer because I'd be a regular. Positives: 1) They did an awesome job renovating this older venue. It's gorgeous and I love the fact you can walk around the entire stadium. The outfield bar area and picnic areas are great! 2) Awesome selection of high quality food 3) Ultra-polite employees 4) They have a great team store with lots of merchandise 5) Fan friendly for autographs 6) Harrisburg's downtown area across from the island is clean with a great nightlife. Negatives: 1) $3 to park 2) Not enough parking on City Island read more

Was in town and decided to go to a game on a hot, sunny Sunday (Father's Day 2017). I must say....I was impressed with the job the Club has done with the venue. It's been maybe, over 20 years since I've been here and clearly, changes have been made to the stadium. All for the better. It's clear the created a new stadium geared toward the minor league fan experience. You can walk into the stadium and sit in Ollie's Cheap Seats or sit anywhere else around the field (with tix) of course. Each part of the stadium seems geared towards some sort of viewing of the game from the outfield tabled seats to the picnic area along the right field line. There's on-field seating next to the visitor's bench and bleacher seats along the lines of the field. There's even a cut-out area to sit in between the visitor's dug out and the visitor's bullpen (where you can walk up and see and talk to the players ( like a petting zoo). Across from here is a kid's area with inflatable, interactive baseball games. The grandstand area around home plate is nice with better seating including box seats at the upper level. Overall you can see a lot of thought went into making this a fun, fan experience. On this day I got a free prostate cancer screening. All the more reason to give the Senators Five Stars! read more
