    The Kernels hadn't really been on our radar as something to do until recently and ever since Matt…read morehad been nagging me to go to a game. On our first attempt, we attended a work outing in the mezzanine area that got rained out after the 1st inning. Super disappointing. (Normally if the game is rained out, ticket holders are able to return for the rescheduled game. But they took our tickets when we entered the mezzanine.) This area has a great view from right field and groups can enjoy complimentary food and beverage throughout the game. Luckily, the other day I won a set of tickets from work and it turned out to be a beautiful evening so we were able to enjoy the entire game. The stadium is super clean and comfortable. Walking around the concessions area seems a little crowded but sitting never seems as full. (Typical minor leagues game.) There's plenty of free parking around the stadium, even after the game has started, and getting out isn't an absolute nightmare especially because the crowds clear out as the game goes on. Concession stand pricing is inflated as usual, but they seem to offer specials on a regular basis. Tickets are super affordable. All around it's a great option for cheap, wholesome fun!

    This place rocks. The Kernels are a single A affiliate of MN Twins. The parking lot is spacious and…read morefree. The stadium had a grassy area to sit and reserved seating. The concessions were alright. The place is shaped like a real baseball stadium and not the rectangle shaped CHS field in St Paul. This is literally the only ballpark where they will give you samples of Iowa craft beer on tap. Super friendly and prices are adequate. No outfield seating. Can't wait to return. We came from Twin Cities, MN area about 4 hours away. Upon leaving I snapped the photo, it was fitting as it was memorial weekend.

    A pretty solid venue to see live music. McGrath Amphitheatre is really one of a kind in the Iowa…read moreCity and Cedar Rapids area. It can accommodate about 5,000 folks. There are chairs in front of the stage, seat walls and terraced lawns for blanket and lawn chair seating. I came to see Tenecious D in late September. I was able to get in and find my assigned seat with no problem. Everything sounded great and looked great. The staff seemed to be helpful. I wish there had been a screen so I could see Jack Black a bit better, but also because I am sure people on the lawn could not really see anything... A couple of reasons I think it is just 'ok' - Bathroom situation. Since it is just portapotties, you'd think that you wouldn't have to stand in forever long lines-- lines that run into other lines and impede the walkway. - 'Food Court' was just hot dogs and hamburgers. While I did see one restaurant (Carlos O Kellys) set up inside, I was shocked there weren't more food trucks or other small businesses. - Holy beer line! I was shocked at how long the beer line was-- college and professional sporting events have shorter lines. - Parking. We lucked out with street parking nearby-- know it is not plentiful and be prepared to both parallel park and walk. Overall, I would come to another show at McGrath! Concert season is May through October so keep any eye out.

    Nice spot for some music. They do have some on-site food but we noticed long lines for everything…read moreincluding drinks. It got a little buggie from the river at and just after sunset but it was still a great time
