The tees, fairways, greens and traps were all beautifully manicured. The range and practice green were great, and they have a nice chipping area to work too. Had a sandwich at the turn that was delicious. Only thing with that was we called it in from the 8th tee, like we should have, and it wasn't made until I asked to pick it up. No biggie, but when play is full, this could be an issue. Had a few after in the bar, and Nina was great. She was attentive, conversive, and kept our experience fun. I can't wait to get back out there!

My boyfriend and I are not gaming people but I found lots of creative games and virtual environments that were fascinating and he had a lot of fun with the outdoor sports games. The owner was above and beyond. Took the time to show each of us individually how not only to use the game but how to navigate through them. He was hands on every step of the way and very generous with his assistance. This place is amazing and will definitely be an experience you never forget. Worth every penny. We will be back again.

I spent a recent spring Sunday afternoon at the Banner Island ball park watching the minor league…read moreteam Stockton Ports. They are affiliated with the Oakland As. The weather was great, the stadium is modern, staff was helpful, and the vibe and crowd is family friendly. Just a classic day at the ball park. Memory making day. The Ports had a winning day against the Rancho Cucamonga (RC) Quakes. The RC Quakes are affiliated with the Los Angeles Dodgers. To think that these players may one day play in the Majors, that is pretty cool. Actually there have been many Ports ball players that moved on into the MLB. There is a stadium wall listing the players that achieved that feat. The ball park was built in 2005. Modern design, beautiful minor ball park. It is next to the arena (where the Stockton Kings basketball team plays), the marina is right next to both. The ball park seats 5,000. There are box suites and a connected VIP bar seating that is not open to the general public. All but two concessions closed by the top of the 5th inning. But those two followed suit by bottom of the 7th. The good BBQ was in the VIP section, and that section is locked down. The burgers, dogs, and pretzels at the concession tasted like Costco food court. The stadium is cashless. Tickets range $8- 22 with weekend pricing starting at $16. Parking is $10-15. There is a multistory parking lot between the two stadiums. In addition there were two additional lots, those were surface lots. The mascot, Splash, was present and super eager to take photos with everyone and anyone. He might photobomb your shot. I learned on Sundays, the Ports home game celebrate the Copa de La Diversion identity and they transform into the Stockton Cheladas. What does that mean? They wear a different uniform and colors in partnership with major league soccer to celebrate and connect teams to the local Latino/Hispanic communities. Did you know Stockton is one of the most racially and ethnically diverse large city in the U.S.? It is! 45% of its population identify as Latino.

First time coming to lower level ball park to watch a game. And by lower I just mean not the MLB or…read morethe big leagues. I'm not big on baseball so I'm not sure technically what you'd call them. D league? G league? The Minors? In any case it's my first time at a ball park of that level. It's pretty small compared to the MLB ones I've been to. But that's to be expected. Keeping that in mind, they still had a fair number of food stalls open considering how not packed it was. They had everything from dogs, nacho and tacos to the usual pizza and beer. They had a cute little team shop at one end of the park as well. I can't believe the prices at the team shop though. They were comparable to that of the MLB teams. That was just wild to me. But maybe they don't control the pricing and it's more of a supplier issue? Anyways I liked that that had a bunch of fun little activities and stuff in between innings like races and such. Safety seems to be good priority for them as well. When a foul ball came over into our section someone immediately came over to make sure no one got hit or was hurt. That was definitely a nice touch. One down side was that it was pickleball paddle giveaway night and from what we could tell it didn't look like 1000 people had shown up before us but somehow they ran out. There were supposed to be 1000 from what we were told. Not a huge deal just kind of disappointed for my friend who really wanted one. So this is a benefit of the doubt kind of review as I haven't been to other ball parks of this level for a game. Maybe others are better and some are worse. But to me this wasn't a bad park at all. Maybe didn't blow my mind sure but it defied wasn't bad by my standing.

We went on Sunday…read morearound 2pm, so I expected some items to be sold out, but I was super bummed I missed out on the baklava. I bet it was amazing. We got lucky and were still able to get some gyros, hummus, and iced coffee. I got the chicken gyro, and it was pretty good, but not the best I've had (probably because they were rushing to get as many out as possible). My husband wanted to try the coffee, and I'm glad he did, it tasted really good. I'm not usually a cherry-anything type of person, but the sour cherry Loux made me question myself because it was so refreshing on a warm day. I was disappointed with the hummus and pita though, the pita was cold and dry, and the hummus didn't have much flavor, which is a bummer because I love hummus. Definitely skip that one. We might try again next year on the first day to see if it's better, but overall, I'm glad we got to check it out!

Every year their admission cost goes up. I remember when it was $2/person. This year it was $5. I appreciate that they always reserve extra parking spots w.cones for the folks who are handicapped. The food is obviously festival priced. I do wish they'd introduce new Greek items because it's the same food every year. Our go-to items include: iced Greek coffee, gyros, tons of pastries inside the hall, & loukoumades (Greek donut balls w/honey and Walnuts). I waa craving a baklava sundae. Its vanilla ice cream with a crushed baklava piece, topped with whipped cream and crushed Walnuts. Unfortunately that's the last time I'll be getting it because I almost broke my tooth by biting into a Walnut shell that was in the nut topping!!! The live Greek music is great and made me feel like we were back in Athens, having dinner in Plaka at a sidewalk taverna.

But size is unimportant when it comes to matters of the heart. The bar is filled with Veterans playing the dice game liars while they sip on their favorite librations. The interior is dimly lit. The only light source is by way of the sunlight shining through the huge windows which overlook downtown Stockton. The kitchen is small. The hall is not separated by any walls or panels from the bar area and, you have to leave through the secure front door to visit the public restrooms outside in the hallway. But again. All the faults and dislikes of this Post don't mean a thing when you understand why it's here and what it's all about. Speaking for myself. The VFW's have been a church like sanctuary for me. A place where I can talk, socialize and interact with other Veterans because they're the only ones who get it. The ones who understand what it feels like to live and walk on a giant cuisinart each and every waking day.

First Review was a two based on the fact that Beer was not served at the Arena, i don't know of many college venues that do serve beer. his second objection was to the quality of the food at the concession stand. Had he checked he would have found that the dogs and polish are the same as served at most bay area sports venues, and not at 5 or 6 bucks like most bay area venues. Second reviewer problem was with a the size of the arena, and b, the price of food at the concessions. On the first point, look at the cracker jack boxes some of the bay area college teams play in. On the second point, if you want a Costco hot dog, go to Costco. If you go to a sports event, expect to pay sports arena prices, which Spanos compares pretty well on. The facility is a first class place to enjoy a game at, with excellent sight lines, easy access, and reasonable parking for proximity to the center. Add the fact that most events are free to kids under twelve with an adult and it makes it a pretty sweet deal.
