Their marketing/promotion department is terrible and not at all organized. There aren't many reasons to pay $40 per person for a seat in Row M of Section 102 for Single A baseball, but I did find one. I'm a huge fan of The Office and the Spinners were advertising an Office Trivia Night featuring an appearance by Leslie David Baker who played Stanley on the show. There was also a BBQ buffet included in the price. The BBQ was ok, not bad for a baseball game, but nothing to write home about. Burgers, dogs (with no grill marks), ribs, pulled pork and pulled chicken, corn on the cob, beans, but no corn bread. The trivia was fun too, some nice and easy questions and some real difficult ones. We didn't finish in the top 3, but we still had a good time. The promotions department really dropped the ball on the appearance by Stanley. He was there, but not for the trivia. He was up on the concourse and you needed a special ticket to see him, the $40 Office Trivia ticket wasn't good enough. No one from the trivia company or the Spinners mentioned this. By the time we realized this the Spinners were sold out (those were the words the employee who turned us away from the line used). It seems the Spinners are desperate for people to come that they have no problem misleading people into paying $40 for a single a baseball game. There was no value there on this particular night. Save yourself and check out the Portland Sea Dogs or Pawtucket Red Sox for the same or lower cost and a higher level of baseball. read more

It's a very nice park, with a good vibe. Food is basic. Burgers and dogs. Beer selection is excellent. Not too pricey. Plenty of parking within walking distance. A great, low stress alternative to Fenway. read more

Lowell Spinners - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

I am NOT a professional sports team fan. I lean more towards the semi-pro and local teams as they are not so over commercialized and over priced. I like the local Lowell Spinners and all that it is. Good clean fun. A few notes: -Excellent concessions. -I agree with Catherine's review- so much nonsense. The management can not even let a few seconds go by without a silly music clip or shenanigan. Every moment is captured and full of silly nonsense. Some I can sand but every second of down time? -We were sitting just left of home plate. More netting is needed on the right and left as someone is going to get hurt from a foul ball. -Parking need better signage. -Parking is cheap. I am happy to support the Spinners (more than the Red Sox) , and want to come back soon. Thanks Guys read more

There's a lot to like about Lowell, but this is an attraction you're going to love- not just for Lowell, but the entire Merrimack Valley community. With ticket prices at only $6-8, you can afford to take the entire family out for the evening and still get ballpark snacks without breaking the bank. The Lowell Spinners aren't too bad either, so you just may go home with mushy squishy feelings of a home team win- which is a great way to end a date night with your honey. The park is clean and well kept. The seats are well spaced so that you don't have to stretch to see over the person in front of you, and every seat makes you feel like you're in a good spot- especially when they do giveaways and prizes in between innings. They do a great job of keeping the energy level high, even during the innings, so that it never gets too boring for the little ones who don't quite understand what it's all about yet. If the kid can't sit in their seat, no problem- just take them over to the play area near third base. I had heard rumors that tickets were often sold out in advance of the game, and when I called to ask about tickets, the rumors were confirmed by the ticket sales staff, but they did say that I could get a standing room ticket at the park. Here's a little tip: even though they may saayyyyy "Standing Room Only" - that doesn't mean you'd actually have to stand for the entire game. Fact is, any seat that is unclaimed after the first inning is fair game to sit in for standing room only ticket holders. Since the standing room ticket is only $4, if there's an $8 seat open after the first inning, you might get an even better seat than if you'd been able to purchase a regular seat! Cha-ching! In my attempt to try this method out, I arrived to the park a little over an hour before game time in hopes of getting a "standing room only" seat for the game that I was told had been sold out. To my surprise, the ticket window asked what kind of seat I wanted (hmmm.. not really sold out, eh?) and being the big $8 spender I am, I said I wanted the best they had! Turns out I was able to get two seats right behind the catcher only 5 rows up. Ummm... who needs tickets in advance, when you can walk up and get seats like this?! WICKED! There was a great crowd and it was just a fun and relaxing atmosphere. I was impressed that they didn't do too much gouging on the food and drink prices, and there were some interesting choices for food. If you can find the steak tips, they were the tastiest looking thing I saw at the park (next time I'll actually try them)! The only thing I think they could improve about the park is putting lawn seats near the outfield for people who want a different experience- maybe something to give kids an extra place to run around. I look forward to my next Spinner's game and maybe I'll get lucky at the ticket window again! read more

I have now been to 3 Lowell Spinners games at LeLacheur Park (how DO you say that, btw?). Twice I've been with a big group (a company outing) and once with just friends. The 2 times with the group, we ate in the Gator Pit - all-you-can-eat hot dogs, sausages, ribs, wings, corn, macaroni salad, ice cream and soda - NICE! I don't know if it's worth it, price-wise, if you're just a few people, as the food is relatively cheap in the ballpark (well, compared to Fenway! $1.75 for a hot dog is a steal for a ballpark), but it is all-you-can-eat... The park is pretty small - someone last night said it holds 1,500 people - and there are pretty much no bad seats. It's pretty much, in my opinion, the perfect outing for a family with younger kids. They do plenty of fun games during the innings - getting kids involved as much as possible - and constantly ask the crowd to "Turn Up the Noize [sic]" or "Get Loud." What a great way to let kids get out their energy without being annoying! As for the game(s), they are fun, but obviously not as good as a major league game!! It's more an opportunity to go out, have some fun and watch some bball. read more

GREAT place to visit - especially with kids. There is something entertaining between each half inning. The people working in the park are super friendly. Prices are very reasonable. The park is very clean and every seat provides a great view. The seats do get hot during Summer day games and most of them are in the sun. LOVE the Spinners! read more

A big group of us went this summer to see a Spinners game and had a great time. It's a small park, but easy to navigate and the food is decent...with a better than average beer selection We tried to use the online food ordering app, and it delivered our order before we could complete it...so we paid a 2 dollar service fee for one beer, albeit a beer that was delivered promptly. At the end of the second inning, I was surprised by the PA guy and asked to play Family Feud....Although I lost, I won a Top Gun DVD anyway, and my picture was on the site the next morning! We were there for Free Sunggie day and got there too late to partake in Snuggie madness (we walked in right as the game started and the seats were half full)...Spinners lose a star Otherwise a cheap way to see a game....we had a great time and I hope to go back soon read more

Great time - it was like going to a major-league game without all the hassle and and spending hundreds of dollars. Parking was available for five dollars. Try doing that at a Red Sox game, beer six dollars -kids meal seven dollars with a drink they even offer all you can eat Real barbecue for right around $20. have a kids playground very festive. Just a great time at an affordable price...... Argentine cowboys Boston ma.......... read more

Lowell Spinners - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

See all

I've decided to update this based on the concessions. The team is still fun to watch, but the concessions are priced at Major League-level prices for a minor league experience, with food and drink prices better fit for Fenway than a Single-A ballpark ($14 chicken tender meal, $9 16oz can of microbrewery beer, etc). read more

I am writing this review in memory of my late boyfriend, Joe, who passed away August 19, 2003. We used to go to the Spinners games all the time. I remember the drive up there. We liked these games better than the Majors because the park was cleaner and easier to get to than Fenway. Getting around the park was also easier. It was a friendly and clean place, good clean fun. One day, Joe said to me, "See that little girl over there. Jules, if I could only catch a fly ball, I'm going to hand it over to that little girl right there." He loved to see the kids cheering and having fun. We loved that we could get handicapped seating so easily. We found that children nearby were always well-supervised and that no one got too rowdy or rude. There was an area off to the side where we could get souvenirs if we wanted. I think I had a bobble-head doll of one of the players once, but I don't recall which player. Joe got me a baseball hat, too. Once, we drove all the way up, listening to the radio, wondering if the game was on or not. As soon as we arrived we saw an entire line of cars reverse and leave. We realized that we had arrived at the moment the game had been called off due to bad weather. We didn't mind at all, since we loved the drive to Lowell so much. Near the park was a lovely ice cream place, so Joe decided we'd stop there. We sat together in the rain, enjoying ice cream, laughing over the Spinners game that didn't happen. On Tuesday, August 19, I told Joe I had tickets for the game on Thursday. I remember that afternoon I assured him we had the usual seats, the ones we liked. I had ordered them by phone. I remember when he left me off at home that afternoon. "See ya later," I said, closing the door to his van. read more

Lowell Spinners (Class A Baseball) for the Boston Red Sox LeLacheur Park is located in the heart of downtown Lowell on the campus of UMass Lowell, by the Tsongas Arena and Lowell Beerworks. It's the perfect place to catch a ballgame during the dogdays of summer. LeLacheur Park is intimate and beautifully designed. Parking for games is $5 and tickets cost between $7-15. See the Boston Red Sox future prospects battle it out for the Lowell Spinners (Class A Baseball) in the NY Penn League (Est. 1939). read more

Beautiful ballpark. Cheap or free parking depending on where you park. Team does a great job with in game presentation, keeping the attention of the kids & casual fans... Not a bad seat in the house. Pretty good playland for the kids although not ideal for a kid under two years old. - @MerrimackTweets read more

First class experience for my kids. Fun and very reasonably priced. Got a free bobble head doll at the 30'th anniversary of Field of Dreams and Frank Whaley appeared. Great food and beer! read more

*Cool ball park *Easy parking *Great value *Affordable *Clean *Fun Great way to spend a summer afternoon or evening with a few friends or family without dropping $100. Tickets are hard to come by though, and most games sell out as this is a best kept secret and many fans have season tickets. But if you know someone, or buy on-line early in the season you can get tickets, or buy cheap SRO day of game. All seats have great views... Check the park seating chart I uploaded to see what I mean. See future Red Sox stars before they make it to the big show. The Lowell Spinners alumni include; Kevin Youkillis, Jacoby Ellsbury and John Papelbon. There's no waiting in long lines for food and drinks and the concessions areas are spaced out nicely within the park and offer some decent variety. The season schedule is fairly short for baseball, as they don't start up until mid June. Tip for families: Kids get to run around the bases on Sundays after the games. How cool is that? Can't afford or get Red Sox tix, next best thing is the Lowell Spinners. "Take me out to the ball game, buy me a beer and a souvenir......" 5 Stars ***** read more

Lowell Spinners - Ball Park Seating Chart - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

So I haven't actually been to LeLacheur Park for a game...was there for the Wilco show. My review (in a nutshell)... -Easy to find (+1 star) Traffic was congested near the park, but that is to be expected. -Quick entry (+1 star) Did not have to wait foreva to get in! -Clean venue, good service (+1 star) Everyone that worked there was nice. -Lines were somewhat long for food/drinks (-1 star), but that's the ushe at a show. -Cool venue for a show (+1 star) You could sit in the stands or stand and dance up by the stage. Even though it started raining and the encore was cut short, it was fun while it lasted. -Plenty of Parking (+1 star) Getting out of the parking garage/immediate area was a trek, but isn't it always? Will have to catch a game there sometime, and then update my review. read more

Home to the Single A affiliate of the Red Sox, LeLachuer is a very nice 3000 (or so) seat ballpark in Lowell. The Lowell Spinners have been the training ground to future red sox players for years including Papelbon, Youkilis, Ellsbury, etc... There really are no bad seats in this place. Everything is close to the action. Last time we sat six rows back on the third base line and it was really close. Try doing that for 8 bucks at a major league game. If you can't get a ticket, try standing room only. The place will empty out at some point and you can sit wherever. Plus it seems half the place is walking around the entire game anyway. Concessions are typical baseball fare...hot dogs, burgers, fried dough, ice cream, although no budweiser products were sold here, which I thought was strange. The place is very family oriented. During each half inning, there are various entertainment acts happening around the field. If the kids are bored, there is a play area designed just for them beside left field. It's a great place to bring family and/or friends and not break the bank. I recommend it. read more

Beautiful park. Really fun thing to do in Lowell -- nothing better than a summer night and watching some baseball.

Great place to catch a Spinners game. Great crowd involvement, awesome atmosphere, ample parking, cheap tickets, and yummy food. The only semi-bad thing was trying to leave the park at the end of the game was like getting out a Fenway. You'd think there'd be more than one exit. read more

***DISCLAIMER - Reviewing as a concert venue, not a baseball field*** Saw the Wilco/Conor Oberst show here, and I actually thought this was a surprisingly decent concert locale (the downstairs bbq was quite tasty as well)! If you stayed sitting in the bleachers you felt a little too far away and the sound quality didn't come across as well, but by the time you made it into the standing crowd no matter where you were standing you had a good shot at being able to see the band pretty clearly. All in all a solid concert venue. Minus a star for no back-up rain plan. The show was meant to go live rain or shine, but Wilco's encore got cut significantly when it started downpouring. We were prepared to stay and get soaked, and lelacheur should've been prepared with ample covering for the band's equipment! That's okay, Jeff, Nels, Glenn, John, Pat, and Mikael are all welcome to come over to my place to finish up with a private concert. I'd settle for just Jeff, too. read more

Lame. Easiest one word review of how I feel about this organization. The "giveaways" are all gone hours before game time and yet I still see boxes of the "giveways" being carted aside for employees to have. Bullsh*t! It may be alright for kids but when you have some moron clubhouse attendant screaming like a retard on the video screen over and over, this place will become tiresome for you. Save your $$$ and go to Fenway Park or down to Pawtucket. read more

On behalf of Jon G. from Malden, John B from Winchester. and Steve G. from Quincy, who have joyfully attended many Lowell Spinners games over the years, we would all again like to thank the entire team and organization for giving us untold fun and pleasure for so many seasons. The atmosphere is like no other in terms of its welcoming spirit and we always get more bang for our buck. The team has graciously rewarded us for our loyalty by giving us extra tickets along with Sox tix and for that how can we ever say no to a drive out to the best ballpark in the game! Thx folks and have a profitable off season. We look forward to seeing u next year! read more

I'm not a huge baseball fan. Let's start there. However, when I go to LeLacheur Park, I have a great time. The staff is friendly and courteous, and there are unique theme nights and entertainment if you have children. If you aren't a baseball fan, you can still have fun. Lots of audience involvement is suggested, which makes it far from boring. read more

Love this place! Ive been there several times for a spinners game and had a great time. Between inning entertainemnt is great for kids and kids "Swamp Area" is good for taking a break from the action. Wide food selcetion at the many consession stands. Seats all have good views of field. 10 stars if I could!!! read more

We have so much fun at Spinners Games, can't wait for the season to start again so that I can fistbump Bristles!

Great setting. Beautiful ballpark. Inexpensive. Perfect !

The park was clean, well lit, and had excellent views of the surrounding city. Tickets were only $7, the beer was cold and cheap, and the Spinners won! A relaxing, affordable and fun Friday evening spent outdoors with friends. read more

Best entertainment value for the money. You can tell they really go out of their way to take care of the people that come to the games. A treasure in the city of Lowell! read more

This applies to concessions. At the top of the ninth I went to get two cheese steaks and fries. Both stands didn't have them -- AND WOULD NOT MAKE THEM! read more

Great time with the family. The place is very good with children and fun for adults too. The seating is very close. Just watch out for foul balls! read more

The hot dogs are cold, the beer is a little below cool, the relish, ketchup and mustard packets are difficult to open and the cotton candy in a plastic bag is awful. BUT, A night at leLachuer field to watch a Spinners game is a fantastic evening. Packed with families, kids running up and down the isles, stomping of feet, clapping of hands, games for kids, all goes to having a great fun filled time. To watch young ball players, playing for the sake of the game, hoping, hoping they each have the right stuff to make it to the majors makes for some exciting baseball. Guys sitting there keeping their score sheets, not like when I was a kid, filling it in with a number two pencil, marking each play with specially code marks, but with a electronic iPad. Same result but different method. If you want to have a great family time that you will not need to remortgage your house to attend take in a Lowell Spinners baseball game. Oh by the way there is not a bad seat in the park. PLAY BALL! read more

Great parking, cheap parking, friendly staff, fun place for all ages, giveaways, great entertainment during and after the game, nice fireworks, and inexpensive family event read more

Standing room only tickets are $5 at this ballpark, and it is worth it! There isn't a bad seat in the house. The game play is interspersed with in-between inning fun. I've had the steak tip sub and it is good. Attending a game makes for a nice summer evening outing! read more

Great place to have a great time with family, friends or coworkers. Good prices to see potential Boston Red Sox players, or occasional see a rehabbing Red Sox player recuperating from an injury. I love attending games and have alot of awesome memories. read more

No better place to see a ball game! Inexpensive, family friendly, nice field and big league players. Have seen some "show" players rehabbing with the spinners. Worth every inexpensive penny. It is too expensive to see the Red Sox in Boston. The Lowell Spinners is the best alternative. See a game and enjoy baseball as it should be played. read more

Simply the best place to take in a ballgame in NE! Great for the family, or a bunch of folks out for a fun night out. Inexpensive beer and food, 6 dollar seats, good baseball... It doesn't get much better than this for a ballgame. read more
