Parkview Field is a downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana baseball field and complex that serves as the home of the Fort Wayne TinCaps, a high-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres. Formerly known as the Fort Wayne Wizards, the team was bought by Hardball Capital in 2006 and efforts began to create a complex to support the team and enhance the business area in downtown Fort Wayne. The field opened in 2009 as a partnership with Parkview Health. The now 15-year-old stadium is beautiful and much better than what you might expect. That said, if you haven't been to Fort Wayne recently, the city has really grown and it's downtown area is quite nice. Parkview Field hosts a variety of community events including a holiday light show - my reason for my most recent visit. Rental options for events include: Suite Level Lounge: Capacity 220 Lincoln Financial Event Center: Capacity 220 400 Club: Capacity 150 Meeting Room: Capacity 25 Concourse: Capacity varies The venue actually hosts around 600 non-baseball related events annually and can be used for weddings and a variety of other events. There's something about the layout that really lends itself to a beautiful light display. I love the weaving together of lights, the ballfield, and a view of downtown Fort Wayne. Parking is pretty easy to find around the field at affordable prices. There are also hotels that are super close including a Courtyard by Marriott and a Hampton Inn. I'm not quite fully informed on actual accessibility, however, I will note I had no difficulty getting where I wanted to go. Obviously, in terms of games there are some limitations and some designated areas. Since the last time I wheeled through Fort Wayne, the downtown area has vastly improved and I was quite impressed. That said, if there are concerns I'd contact the stadium for more information. read more

Parkview Field - Parkview Field lit up for the holidays - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Really enjoyed this ballpark. Awesome hometown feel and great prices made this an affordable family destination. It's clean, open, next door to two hotels and has a bunch of stuff to do for everyone. Team shop is awesome- spent too much up in there though! 20 different types of hats and jerseys and apparel. Bought a sweet hoodie and hat for about $100. Not a bad view in the entire park; obviously they have some suites and some cabanas along the outfield that are nice and private/ shaded. I imagine when it gets hot out, you just cook like their delicious hot dogs in that sun! (The hot dogs were really good!) They also offer a kids zone that you have to pay for and it's nothing too great. Bunch of blow up things to jump on and slide down. Beer garden is no garden. It's just a building in the outfield dead center that serves beer and backs up to the hotels. Will say, dang good beer selection. Yuengling and some Michigan brews too! It's a very comfy little stadium downtown. So much going on it can be hard to follow the game though. And, their food lines are atrocious! Takes FOREVER to get anything of substance food- wise. Two innings or more for a hotdog. Overall it was enjoyable and I'd make it a point to take in a game if headed that way in the country. read more

This review is for the food only. I usually get two dogs and a Pepsi. That's what goes with baseball...at least traditionally. The dogs really aren't that good for $4.25. The bun is nicely steamed and soft. The dog is not plump and juicy. It was rather flat and didn't have much meat taste. It was rather plain. You definitely wouldn't accept this off your grill at home. The best items are the tenderloins...on special occasions and the chicken tenders & waffle fries. My wife likes the burrito bowls a lot as they are very Weight Watcher friendly. read more

Parkview Field - Hot dog - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

A very clean stadium with spacious walkways all the way around. There's not a bad seat in the house and you can even watch from the kids play area and the splash pad in the outfield. Ballpark pricing is comparable to other places; and they have some great discount days including $2 beers and discount food nights. Fireworks through the week are also a great show. They last about 15 mins and are worth staying for! read more

Arguably, the best MiLB ball park in the country... Parkview Field is nothing short of outstanding... For a MiLB ball park, this field is on another level. It's small and quaint, but has a Big League feel... It kind of reminds me of a smaller version of Progressive Field in Cleveland. With a 360 degree view, there's not a bad seat in the house. Parkview keeps the in-game entertainment lively and has excellent food/drink options (at reasonable prices), and you can't beat $14/ticket for field seats on 1st or 3rd base. All-in-all, Parkview is one of if not the best places in the country to catch a MiLB game... The Tincaps certainly do it right and know how to take care of their fans. read more

Loved visiting this field. Parking was a breeze. The security check in was very easy , got to my seats right away, the visitors dugout, first row -saw the entire field... do not and I repeat do not place anything in front of you on top of the dugout if you do , you will get reprimanded, I swear you will. Prices were very cheap. I got these tickets at $14 a ticket, it was $2 dollar hotdog night. It was a Marvel themed night. They had fireworks , I got to run the bases. I had wine slushy's, got autographs on a baseball at the visitor team buses, it was so much fun. read more

Parkview Field - Marvel night - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Parkview Field is an absolutely beautiful ballpark. I was shocked by how large it is as its the home for a high a team, the Fort Wayne TinCaps. I am not originally from the area, so I never expected to see such an impressive stadium. The stadium has a significant amount of concession stands, so while you may have to wait in line, you will not wait long. It is very east to find your seat, and the seats are wide and comfortable. Seat tickets are very affordable... i paid $20 each for ones behind home plate. My only gripe about the ballpark is how hard it is to find good parking. Most stadiums I have been to have large parking near the stadium. My family and I had to park out vehicle several blocks away from the stadium for the game. My mom has mobility issues, so that was unpleasant. The food in the stadium is good considering its fast food/concession stand food. Plenty of options. They also have family feast night where hot dogs and sodas are $2 each, which is a steal! My family had an incredible time at this stadium. The game between the West Michigan Whitecaps and the Fort Wayne TinCaps was amazing. I have never seen so many hits in one game, 30 hits! The games lead changed several times throughout the game. The game wasn't even decided until the end when Nerwilian Cedeno made a game winning single in the bottom of the 9th! It was incredibly dramatic! I also love the little games and entertainment they had every few innings... my favorite was DJ TinCat! After the end of the game, since it was the 4th of July, we saw the Fort Wayne Fireworks display inside! So much fun! TinCaps are awesome! This stadium is great! Loved every moment in here! read more

Great place to catch a ball game. Great staff and fun atmosphere. If you're in town and the Tin Caps are playing, stop on by!

This is a neat baseball stadium in Fort Wayne, which is the home of the Fort Wayne TinCaps. We attended one of the first baseball games of the spring 2021 season, after a year of no games due to the pandemic. We had a great time! I mean, who doesn't love a baseball game? This stadium is very well run, and everything was clean and tidy. Even getting in and out was a breeze. They have things running here like a well-oiled machine. My family really enjoyed the different games and entertainment that went on between innings. The TinCaps have this cute thing called the Condiment Packet Race, where people dressed up as ketchup, mustard and relish race each other through the crowd. It was also fun to spot the TinCaps mascot, Johnny TinCap, dancing between innings. Parkview Field is also the venue for the Fort Wayne Farmers Market -- at least, the indoor farmers market. There's lots of room for vendors, and it was quite a nice place for a farmers market. read more

Tough to not like a downtown ball field and Parkview in Ft Wayne is no exception. Great location and sightlines throughout the park, along with a wide variety of seating options at different price points. Parking was a snap at a local business for 5 bucks...can't beat that. My only complaint was for single A ball, I thought the concessions prices were JUST a bit high. I get that it is a business, but the product on the field doesn't justify it. And equivalent cost in Indianapolis will get you a bonus of a much better baseball game. We had a good time, nice venue. read more

Parkview Field - 1st base line row Q section 103 - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

This was my first trip to Indiana as well as my first single A game. Bathrooms are clean, team shops have a nice selection (hats were on par with price, but clothing was overpriced). Parking was cheap and very close to the field. The team stinks and the in-between inning entertainment was hit/miss. The home team has the first base side. We sat on the third base side and it got shaded around the third inning for a night game. There are plenty of affordable tickets in various locations. I'd definitely return. read more

Such an amazing venue to have in our city! Parkview Field is not only home to the Tincaps but there are also a variety of events held at the field throughout the year, from concerts to fundraisers. You can even use it as a wedding venue. The stadium is beautifully designed, with tons of amenities and there honestly isn't a bad seat in the house, I mean it! If you are new to town or visiting, check out Parkview Field! read more

Wow! Parkview Field puts the "Park" in BallPark! Baseball season is over for these youngsters so 3/4 of us Funksters are in Fort Wayne to attend a nuptial ceremony. Now fun of funs, Parkview Field home of the local Tincaps, is in the backyard of our hotel and by the picture attached, i do mean backyard! It is a beautiful ballpark that is nothing if not welcoming. As I said earlier, the minor league season is over yet the gates are open for the public to wander in and roam around... how cool is that! Try that at Progressive Field. The concourse is wide, the seats comfortable and the field itself, beautifully grass-ified (well it is the off-season). So a couple of phone-snaps later and it's off to the team store to peruse the swag... and some sweet swag it is, from the simple and affordable to the fine higher end. As we Funksters, travel around to the ballparks of the south and midwest, we keep to the simple and affordable for our remembrances. All in all a trip back to the Tincaps diamond will be in the future... in-season next time. Can't wait! read more

Parkview Field hits it outta the park. Seriously. This is one of my favorite places to visit during the warmer months. Great baseball. Great atmosphere. Great for Downtown Fort Wayne. I have enjoyed many Thirsty Thursday @ Tincaps. $1 beer and you've got me sold. If you are planning on taking the family to a good ole baseball game on a Thursday, expect drunk 21-year-olds. Although I am post college I still enjoy some $1 beers from time to time and the entire lawn area is full of a younger crowd usually drinking lots of beer and hardly watching the game. I suggest buy tickets in seats for those games if looking to avoid the long beer lines. Seems there are always fireworks after the games....and they are SPECTACULAR. Tickets are very reasonable and with free fireworks, you can't beat that. Perfect date night or night out with the fam. They are regularly hosting themed games - so be sure to check out their Facebook or Twitter to stay in the loop! read more

We frequent Parkview Field and always have an enjoyable experience. The crowds are manageable. The field set up is great for baseball fans of all ages! They have a kids area full of affordable activities. They do dollar beer night on Thirsty Thursday! Their themed nights are always super fun! I would recommend Parkview to anyone! read more

Fantastic event space! My in-laws booked the Suite-Level lounge to host our rehearsal dinner of ~100 guests. Everyone got a kick out of the awesome floor-to-ceiling nearly panoramic views of the entire ballpark, as well as the ability to go outside and hang out. It's a truly unique venue. The catering service is easy to work with as well. They put in a great deal of effort and attention to accommodate specific requests. My tiny minor qualm is with our dinner entree of steak, baked potato and green beans. The green beans were entirely too salty. Most people had the same complaint. The maid-of-honor nearly spat them out into her napkin. read more

While walking with my delicious chicken tenders and fries meal, I dropped one. Luckily, a worker named Nathan saw the whole ordeal and told me to go to the concession stand to get a new tender. SO NICE! Then the concession stand (near the Huntington Pavillon) went above and beyond, giving me two tenders. Great food, great service, great atmosphere! read more

I didn't see a game here, but the venue looks fantastic. I had a tour of the facility and later attended a catered dinner at the suite level. The park was built in 2008 so it's virtually brand new. It's located in a newly revitalized part of downtown Fort Wayne although restaurant choices nearby are kind of slim but new places are opening. I would love to see a game here sometime and get a Tincaps shirt. read more

Adorable and super clean field. I love how even when you have a bleacher seat, you never really seem that far from the front row/field. It is an extremely nice open stadium - so even if you run back to grab a hot dog, you can still watch the game from the concession stands. I also really do appreciate how they leave the park open to the public from Sunrise to Sunset everyday - minus game days.I haven't had the chance to roam around it, and take a walk on a non-game day, but I'm definitely planning on it for my next trip into Fort Wayne. The only cons that I could think of was that I wish that they had more affordable food options, and more food options in general. It's also really inconvenient to park in the parking structure and walk all of the way around the field in order to get to the main entrance. read more

This ballpark is probably better than some Triple A ball clubs. I know for a fact it's better than the Indianapolis Indian's ballpark in Indy as I've been to that one. The field is beautiful and the concourse to the park is huge. Huge! Plenty of room. They have a ton of food that you can get there. Not only can you get your hot dog and pop corn, you can get a dang corn beef sandwich, philly steak, some greens, ice cream, lions, tigers, bears, oh my! Plus if you go on Thirsty Thursdays, you can get dollar beers. So 5 bucks for a lawn ticket and a few bucks for some dollar beers, you can see a ball game, have a beer or 2 for under 20 dollars. Try going to Chicago to see the Cubs. You have to pay 35 bucks just to park. So the fact that Fort Wayne has this park for everyone in the Midwest area is just out there!!! You just have to come and see the park for yourself. You can actually walk into the ball park during they day and see it. You can come and jog a few laps around the concourse if you want! You get a ton of enjoyment for a cheaper cost. Even for families. Tickets from 5-12 bucks, great foods, beers, and a mess load of baseball games to watch. Plus in the summer, they have even brought in some big bands to have concerts there. Bonus. read more

A must to visit. Fort Wayne has gotten this right. I went to see a game in August 2018. The TinCaps were playing the South Bend Cubs. The Tin Caps won the game. There were lots of people here, and the people were enjoying their night. Lots of families and kids too! The park was very clean and modern. If you want an experience, then I recommend a game (even if you do not like baseball). read more

This is the way Minor League Baseball should be. I kept having to remind myself that this was Single A baseball, because this park rivaled most AAA baseball stadiums I've been to. The park is clean, beautiful, and very spacious. I love that there were several different types of seating areas. You have your typical baseball seating behind home plate, party plaza's down the line, the treetops section in the outfield and 2 very well manicured grass lawns for those who want to stretch out on a blanket. The variety of food was amazing as well. Not just your typical hot dogs, peanuts and cracker jacks, there were some incredible entrees to choose from. For dessert, I highly recommend the apple crisp a la mode at the apple cart behind home plate. I love this stadium. read more

Great little field to watch the Tin Caps play. Lots of different areas to get seats. Picnic, lawn, regular, box, etc. There is lots of stuff for little kids to...rock wall, bouncy house, slide. Tons of different food and drink options. Entertainment throughout! read more

Parkview Field is a great venue. We always enjoy the Tincaps games (even when they lose) because the stadium has comfortable seating (almost everywhere), a huge variety of food choices, plenty of adult beverage choices, a wonderful team gear store, great after game fireworks (on select nights) really fun theme nights, pre-game giveaways, and activities throughout the season for kids. The staff at the field have always been friendly. The environment is very family oriented (except maybe on Thirsty Thursday nights when the crowd is more adults/college age folks). LOVE LOVE LOVE having this top ranked (nation wide) venue in our home town. Go TinCaps! read more

What a beautiful stadium in downtown Fort Wayne! Great views all around and incredibly clean--even the restrooms! A handful of friends met there recently for a pre-game beer tasting and a wonderful time was had by all.The facility certainly takes care of their patrons. Any time we had questions (because we were mostly newbies) the staff helped us out. After attending one home game and pre-game event, I see why a lot of my hometown friends are season ticket holders. Well done Fort Wayne! read more

We live in Fort Wayne and decided to take the family to a TinCaps game. I was hit by a line drive foul ball and lost 8 teeth and had multiple facial fractures. The medical treatment was terrible...after asking the medic to get me out of the main aisle for privacy sake, he escorted us through the batting cage! We were never taken to a first aid room, simply to a bench in the main aisle. When my husband asked if the ambulance was on it's way, the medic said, "We don't call ambulances, but you can." This is a surprising coming from a park that is sponsored by Parkview Hospital. The TinCaps organization didn't call to see how I was doing until after my husband sent them a note expressing my disappointment in their reaction to this horrible accident. I know when you go to a ballpark there is a possibility of getting hit by a ball - there are signs and disclaimers everywhere. However, I would also expect that if you do get hit by a ball, they have adequate medical help once it occurs. The TinCaps basically said it was our fault for not paying attention, and they will add more signs to the stadium to remind everyone of that. This I find interesting considering after the accident everyone within eye distance was watching us, and the game played on. read more

Nice field but the food service is the worst. I tried getting a slider in the fifth inning but the stand was already closed. The kid said when they are not busy they close the stand. I mentioned that we were only in the fifth inning and he looked at me like like I was some alien or something. I decided to get a pulled pork Sammie but they were out of slaw. Lol. You can't win for trying at this place. Don't think I will be renewing my season tickets for next year. Sorry Johnny. read more

One of the finest minor league ballparks in the country. Great ambience, food, and the team has been strong pretty consistently since moving in. A Fort Wayne highlight which matches or exceeds the experience you'll have at AA or AAA ballparks. read more

Been to several games here, and have enjoyed them all! The park is kept clean, seating is comfortable, and the views from everywhere are great! Last game we sat right behind the catcher, and then moved out to the grassy common area in the bleachers for the last inning or 2. That is so nice to be able to do, especially with kids that start to get ants-in-their-pants after the 4th inning when their hot dog and coke are gone. Speaking of kids, the kids-zone area out in left field has always been a nice 'go-to' for us mid-game...you can still watch the game as they do a rock-wall, bounce house, or throw balls around. Food choices are very good here, although we haven't tried everything. The obvious 'Apple' influence on different foods can be a little disturbing (Apple Beer?), but I am sure you can find something to your liking. Also...the quality of baseball played here is excellent! Pitchers in the mid to upper 90's are frequently hurling, although they may not have the MLB control yet. Big breaking balls, wonderful defense (usually), and well coached teams are common. Family friendly atmosphere with a fun mascot, games in between innings, picnic area, game area, clean bathrooms, pretty skyline, and of course baseball, America's slowly fading pastime. Makes me want to go to a game today...Play ball!!! read more

Great place for families (especially thirsty Thursday) 10oz beer $2. Brought my kids and in laws here and sat behind visitors dugout.$9 adult ticket and $5 kids. Fireworks after the game. Its a smaller ballpark,which lends to its charm. I noticed other posters comparing it to the Indianapolis Indians stadium and rating it higher. The ballparks are very similar , with Indy being about 2 times larger in terms of seating and prices....(A vs AAA) Crowds are fairly quiet but I'd take that over loudmouths any day of the week. read more

Great place for a summer night ballgame. We had a wonderful night at a company event. Good food!

I can't imagine a nicer class A minor league park. Beautifully situated in the downtown area. I opted for the Legacy seating, directly behind home plate. The seat was wider than a typical MLB seat, with a somewhat padded seat, and plastic back. There was ample legroom, a footrest in the form of a pipe running the length of the row (like at a bar), and a narrow metal table that also ran the length of the row. The table was ideally sized to support a beer, water, and a dog. The food menu had the classic ball park options. The brat was Ok, the hot dog was solid. And there was waiter service in this section. read more
