No reviews of Sioux Falls Pheasants (aka Canaries) baseball? Wow. This needs some attention.
Sioux Falls Stadium, known at 'The Birdcage', is a fantastic place to watch a baseball game. The stadium opened in 1941 but underwent renovation in 2000. It certainly compares to stadiums for many A-class minor league teams. The Pheasants (known as the Canaries from 1993-2009) play in the American Association, which is not affiliated with Major League Baseball, yet is a league of high quality. The stadium holds 4,500 people and tickets are very affordable, especially when compared to the major leagues. Sight lines are great and there are a decent amount of beer and food options.
Sioux Falls won the American Association championship in 2008. They play in the North division along with the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks, Winnipeg Goldeyes and St. Paul Saints. There are 13 teams in the American Association.
Pheasants baseball is a superb way to spend some time in Sioux Falls. It's a very friendly environment and is probably the premier sporting event in town. I always make an effort to catch a game when in town during the season. read more
