THE GOOD
----------------
+ GREATTTTT stadium for a New Jersey Jackals baseball game!
++++ One of the last, remaining negro league stadiums in the country and it was beautifullllly renovated in 2023.
+ 10,000 seat stadium capacity is the perfect capacity for ideal viewing from ANY seat.
+ 2 concession stands/windows on the 1st base side - one that sells hot food & alcohol and the other sells dessert (ice cream, Italian ices) & snacks (popcorn, funnel cake).
++++ If you buy the ice cream, a small cup is more than enough for 1-2 people as they add 3 huge scoops of any flavors you want. AND, yes, you can add different flavors to your order!
+ Multiple restrooms reside on the main walkway.
+ Foul balls are plentiful and the probability of catching a foul/home run ball here are A LOTTT higher than at an MLB game.
+ Ticket prices to a game are RIDICULOUSLY CHEAP at $5-$10 per ticket and every ticket is general admission meaning you can sit ANYWHERE you want in the stadium.
+ Private (AND safe) parking garage adjacent to the stadium only charges $10 for parking.
+ There is a small merch store inside of the stadium that sells shirts, jerseys and other small team souvenirs.
THE NOT SO GOOD
-----------------------------
- Even though every seat provides great views, there is a running track between the stands and field, so there is a little bit of a distance from the action.
- All seats inside are bleachers, so no support for our aging backs.
- No outside food or beverages are allowed inside.
- Concession stand prices are a bitttt steeper than anticipated ($10 for an average size hot dog, $10 for a hamburger, $12 for a cheeseburger)
- The surrounding area, on the way to the stadium, is not the greatest/safest looking.

CONCLUSION
--------------------
= We came here to watch a New Jersey Jackals game, on a beautiful Friday evening, as part of a kids' school night, and we couldn't have had a better time! The experience of watching a game here was refreshing and much more intimate than watching a game in an MLB stadium. Definitely a much more family-friendly environment since there is so much space for kids to roam around. Just wish the concession stand prices were a tad lower. read more
