The inside seating area is pretty good and every seat has a decent view, we sat along the 1st baseline and it was the cheapest ticket that the box office sold to us. Tickets are affordable. They also have a Bat Dog who collected the home teams bats during the first inning. They have event nights during the week. Would love to stay in the Hilton Hotel overlooking the ball field and watch from there

I do not like the prices for those snacks or the amount you get considering the price you pay. I find the team in Maine, the Portland Sea Dogs stadium is much more affordable on their snacks. I enjoy watching the players interact with the children. They really seem to enjoy talking to the kids and always seem willing to give their young fans a few moments of their time. All in all this is a nice little stadium. It's not to expensive for a night of fun for the whole family. Just watch out for flying balls!

There aren't many…read morereasons 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.

We sat in the loge section 125 and had a CLEAR view of the stage. It also was a little warm inside the venue but once I took my jacket off I was fine. Sound quality was also good and they had large screens which I appreciated to see the performer's better. Merch lines went fast and no bathroom lines which was nice. Plus they sell drinks, snacks--your average stuff at a venue. We found parking about a 10 minute walk away and it was street parking so we didn't have to pay after a certain time which was nice. It was cold outside so walking was a little annoying but better than paying a huge price for parking. Overall great experience at this venue I would come back!

New owner at this track‼…read more Many improvements. They have a new and functional public announcing (loudspeaker) system. They have painted the seating. New concession provider. It is a very pleasant place to visit now. I think the previous owners didn't want to invest in making this a successful track. The new owner DOES want to succeed and it is very obvious with all the effort they have put into this facility. Not a five star rating yet, because their web page is still directly associated with the previous owner. They need to end that association and establish their very own website, with an appropriate URL name and more accurately reflect their new commitment and personality to this facility. Happy to see the changes and enjoy the races much more now.

I parked in general admission and the walk was only 7ish minutes and mostly flat! They do have a clear bag policy up to a certain size or you can bring a small wristlet in/cross body...but it's very strict. They have a special technology that takes a picture of your purse and measures it. Mine was like an inch too big so my boyfriend had to walk back to the car :( They do have clear plastic bags so I asked for one for my belongings and he brought my bag back. Once I got into the venue, the merch was right in the entrance and lines weren't long. Plus, there's so many food options and a lot of it is grab and go so you "pay" before you enter and they take a picture of what you get on the security cameras and charge you after..pretty efficient! My chicken tenders were good with the fries, yum! My seats were great in section 240, a clear view of the stage. Wasn't too cold at night but I brought a sweater. We left a few songs early so we could avoid the traffic. When I came to Taylor Swift I waited 3 hours to leave.... Besides the strict bag policy that took us a little bit we had a fantastic time and seeing a concert here is quite fun!

Gillette Stadium might genuinely be the worst place in New England to see a concert…read more The whole experience feels like someone asked, "How can we make going to a concert unnecessarily difficult?" and Gillette said, "Hold my beer." First, parking. It's expensive, chaotic, and there is basically no convenient public transportation option. So you pay a small fortune to park your car in a field somewhere in/near the general vicinity of the stadium and then begin the pilgrimage. Then you reach security, where apparently a purse can become a matter of national security. The bag policy allows a 6.5" x 4.5" bag. Which is adorable. That's roughly enough room for your phone, keys and one tampon if you really believe in yourself. And if your bag is slightly over the dimensions? Congratulations! You now get to have a security guard inspect your purse while you contemplate whether it's worth walking the entire way back to your car. The best part is the inconsistency. A woman gets stopped over a crossbody bag that is a couple centimeters too large, while a guy walks through with a sweatshirt pocket the size of a small duffel bag. That pocket could contain a vape, six nips, a sandwich and possibly a second, smaller man. But sure. Let's investigate the woman with lip gloss and a tampon. I understand security. I actually appreciate security. Have reasonable policies. Enforce them consistently. Fine. But combine the ridiculous bag restrictions with expensive parking, no convenient transportation, insane ticket prices and the general feeling that you're being processed rather than welcomed, and you have to wonder why anyone considers this a good concert venue. There are so many better venues that are easier to get to, surrounded by restaurants and bars that don't feel like a chain, and don't make attending a concert feel like you're attempting to cross an international border with a suspiciously large purse. Gillette, I promise the woman carrying a Lululemon crossbody with a tampon in it is not your biggest security threat. Let the women bring their damn purses.

And for being a great spot for our high schools to play and graduate. We appreciate the Red Claws and the Maine Roller Derby. Sometimes you get boxing or beer festivals, comic or mom and baby expos, home shows or car shows; that's pretty badass how you cater to just about every demographic. And Snoop Dogg? Remember that? Whoa. The point is, in the words of Billy Joel: don't go changing to try and please me; you never let me down before." Everything's changing these days, technology is making things speed up at an insane rate, and everyone's trying to top everyone else. But you do you. It's worked for over a century, and - while your parking can be annoying and your bathrooms not always the cleanest - we're always going to need a place like yours to do the normal things, the every day things, the nitty gritty things.
