    Parkview Field

    Parkview Field is a downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana baseball field and complex that serves as the home…read moreof 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.

    Really enjoyed this ballpark. Awesome hometown feel and great prices made this an affordable family…read moredestination. 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.

    Kokomo Municipal Stadium - Brat and $2 beer on thirsty thursday

    Kokomo Municipal Stadium

    First time at Kokomo Municipal Stadium and first jack rabbits game(single A team, Great Lakes…read moredivision of the northwood league). I went to some single A games in Virginia that were played on a high school field, so I was shocked when I arrived. It's a really nice facility, I was told IU Kokomo plays their games there. Not familiar with the ballpark, my experience started with buying tickets over the phone. I described the kind of seats I wanted, lady at ticket window provided exactly what I wanted; they were great seats!! The night I went was thirsty Thursday, so domestic beer was $2 for 12 Oz glass. Had a brat and eventually French fries. Parking was easy, may be a challenge if sold out. I had a blast!!!

    Ssshhhh... hey Funk... keep it under yer hat but I got a tip on one of the best kept secrets in…read moreKokomo. Funk, people will come...They'll come to Kokomo for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up the ballpark driveway, not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at the ticket gate as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won't mind if you look around, they'll say. It's only eight dollars per person. Folks'll pass over the money without even thinking about it. For it is money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the Umbrella Bar and the Backyard, and sit in shirt-sleeves on a perfect afternoon. Or they'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game, and it'll be as if they'd dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick, they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come, Funk...The one constant through all the years, Funk, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game -- it's a part of our past, Funk. It reminds us of all that once was good in Kokomo and it could be again. Ohhhhhhhh, people will come, Funk. People will most definitely come. Apologies: Terence Mann

    Grand Park Sports Campus

    Very impressed by this indoor facility. There are maps, which I did not take a picture of, where…read morethere are maybe 20+ baseball/softball diamonds, 30+ soccer fields, and indoor facilities. Apparently the Indiana Pacers and Indianapolis Colts use the facilities, or have their own facilities on this massive campus. When we were there the indoor facility was buzzing- tons of kids, tons of parents, and it was 1 degree above zero outside. I cannot imagine what a Saturday in June looks like at Grand Park As a curious person I Wikipedia'd this place and was pleasantly surprised the local government had the foresight to build this massive facility about 10 years ago. This place probably drives millions of dollars to the local economy. Anecdotally, we stayed at a local hotel and ate several meals in the area.

As someone new to the Westfield area, I thought this was pretty cool and kind of surprising. Although I'm not really into sports unless I'm feeling 22-but have visited the campus a couple times now for various reasons like the Shipshewana Flea Market, "Whale of a Sale" (a large, upscale children's consignment event) and most recently "Winter Fest" presented by Westfield Youth Sports and "Brought to you by Birdies," the mini golf place and bar/restaurant in Westfield. Winter Fest was a fun and free event for locals inside the campus to promote sports enrichment in the community. Westfield residents who signed up received tickets for $15 worth of food (per person) at the cafeteria. This was quite generous of them! Chik-fil-A was also there with a booth giving out merch and gift cards for meals. The cafeteria and adult bar area are well maintained, shiny and new. The indoor field is clean and beautiful. Staff is friendly and helpful. There were vendors offering to match donations for youth sports fundraisers and local businesses advertising their products. They had tons of inflatables--even one for adults too. It was a great experience and I look forward to attending other events at Grand Park. I found out after Winter Fest that there had also been a Health and Wellness expo that same day and wished I had known about it sooner with companies like Pure Barre being there. Next year, I'll be keeping an eye out for that event and others like it.
