Becky B.

Wow Beautiful facility with absolutely NO SHADE! I get that it's just been open for 4 months, but being associated with Cedar Point you would have thought the lay out would have been thought out better. No Shade, (they have a lot of cute little shade trees that will be awesome in about 10 yrs)what shade they have in the food area is mesh which didn't do well in the storm we had. ((Everyone under it was getting wet)Also the dugouts during the lighting storm isn't very safe either, something about being in a tin can and electricity would seem like a bad idea but where else did they have to go, NO WHERE!The interior shops were closing, "of course they were " it was raining and 500 people where there, looking for shelter and I'm pretty sure that none of those people wanted to buy anything, NOT! They should do the math when they have a captive audience. Shops and concessions were open when they only had 4 teams there but not when the facility was packed, every thing then was closed, except for the food that was also getting wet. Ok let's talk about the opening ceremony. It was basically a quick run across the field, announcing your team before the sports events. (which by the way you couldn't hear because they had some shotty portable speaker that no could hear what was being said, really? Did they think they weren't going to need a PA system, I saw speakers all around the fields, why not use them?)How about the National Anthem or the pledge of allegiance before all of this started, come on its Americas favorite pass time, let get a little nostalgic! For a lot of the children playing there it is their first out of town tournament experience, why not make it great!?!? Now on to the "extra activities" that are advertised to do for the rest of the families. They weren't open during our opening ceremonies because they already had a tournament earlier that day(which is what I was specifically told by the from office staff) to be honest I didn't care what was going on earlier during the day I was there at that time ,along with over 500 other people (and 2 teenage girls) I was selling the idea of coming to her brothers sports event, but enticing them with "all the extras" but nothing extra was open except for food. No of this made any sense to me. ok on to this being a Cedar Point facility. Pretty sure they probably have access to the same misting fan that they provide the customers standing in line for the rides. They might want to send some of those over to the Sports Force Park facility. Or even those large stationary umbrellas until there trees grow. Super small bleachers, the first row of the seats of the bleachers were so low that it gave you a perfect view of the wall right by home plate and they were NOT cleaned up from the day before when we arrived at 9:00, gross! BRING POP UP TENTS AND YOUR OWN CHAIRS. On to the positives! The baseball part was organized! The beer is super cold! Water always available to the players in the dugout Great deals on Cedar Point passes for the rest of the family. (Players get there passes as part of their package) Fun playing teams from all over the USA Every player got "Nike" shorts and a t-shirt. So it was a fun tournament, loved hanging with our players and parents! Cedar point was fun when we had time to go but the 8 day passes would have been better if it was NOT consecutive and we might have extended our stay after the tournament. I'm just a mom , and if I can figure this stuff out you would think the folks at Cedar Point could too!

For how expensive this is, we played on the back field, scoreboard didn't work, the grass wasn't mowed. All around crappy experience.

Wonderful baseball! Outstanding atmosphere!…read more As a former broadcaster, I've been to a lot of stadiums between New York and Texas over the past 30-some-odd years. While I've never had a bad experience at a baseball game, Forefront and the Crushers are among the standouts. The Crushers are a Frontier League team. It's independent, which means many of the players here have either never made it to the MILB, or they did and it didn't work out like they wanted. In other words, they are playing their butts off to make it to the next level. Whether it's baseball, hoops, hockey or football, players at this level tend to warm my heart and feed my appetite for excellent competition. Besides, lower level baseball is just flat-out fun. Though I always root for the home team, it was a little different this time around, as the family of Evansville's starting pitcher was sitting right next to me. His name was Ben, and I found myself cheering for him as well. He was small by MLB standards, and his pitching was a mixed bag. Still, like everyone else on the field, he was living a dream. I was certainly honored to see it. As for Forefront Field, it's small with nary a bad seat in the house. The beer selection is as good as any ballpark, and the hot dogs were divine. The mascot here, Stomper, is a real trooper. The poor dude had to be sweating his rear end off, but he still played along with the crowd. If I lived in these neck of the woods, I'd be a season ticket holder. This is wonderful family entertainment, and the baseball playing is clutch.

A nice stadium where they hold different events when there are no games. We were there for their…read moreHalloween event. There's really no bad seat in the house. Parking is decent. Staff was kind.

Nothing says home like a good ol Mud Hens Baseball game! Great little field and venue with plenty…read moreof food options and viewing opportunities. The area around the field has really grown so much it's gorgeous! There is so much to offer before and after the games too. We got great seats next to the dug out which was prime viewing for all the action. Although we didn't get any baseballs :(. I do wish their other screen was up and running as the only one on I had to keep looking over to look at. Their Fourth of July fireworks show on the 3rd was epic! I would like to say though to bring earplugs, the acoustics made them so LOUD.

What a nice little stadium in a charming town! With wonderful baseball to boot!…read more The Toledo Mud Hens, at the time of my visit here, were the AAA affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. I'd seen the visiting team -- the Saint Paul Saints -- but it was back in their Northern League Days when Mike Veeck owned the team. Either way, this was outstanding baseball in a wonderful environment. As I've mentioned in other ballpark reviews, I'm a former broadcaster who has seen hundreds of baseball games at all levels across the country. Though I've been to plenty of MLB games (dating back to the days of Arlington Stadium, Veterans Stadium, Shea Stadium and the former Yankees Stadium), I'm still partial to minor league baseball. Sure, I enjoyed seeing the likes of Juan Gonzalez smashing balls into the parking lot and Curt Schilling striking out 16 Yankees (that was in 1997, and I loved it with all my heart), but seeing players who are trying to make it to the show -- or trying to make it back, such as so many players on the Mud Hens -- brings me greater joy. Seeing a game in Toledo was a bucket list thing for me, if only because of Jamie Farr's character on MASH. With such a nice little stadium and wonderful baseball to boot, I wish I'd come sooner. A couple of caveats though. First, I've paid less for parking at a Coldplay concert. Further, at least those lots took cards. (These guys only take cash, but I'm sure the parking lot owners report their earnings to the IRS -- NOT!) Secondly, the hot dogs at this park are saltier than the Black Sea. Thank God I took a double dose of Amlodipine! But seriously, I'd come back here in a second.

This field was dedicated to my Great Grandfather. King Boring…read more C. King Boring made his biggest impact on the sports world after he graduated from Salem High School in 1922. After graduating from Northwestern University with a degree in business and accounting, Boring nearly hit big as an owner of a professional basketball team. Boring, who was nicknamed (the legaly changed to) King because he took on and beat the school bully growing up, purchased the Detroit Gems in an era when pro basketball did not have the appeal that it does today. The Gems were a barnstorming team that played in cities across the country. The Gems struggled to make a go of it financially. In 1947, Ben Berger and Morris Chalfen bought the financially strapped Detroit Gems from C. King Boring for $15,000. After the sale was complete, Berger and Chalfen relocated the Detroit Gems to Minneapolis. Their home games were played at Minneapolis Auditorium and the Minneapolis Armory. The Detroit Gems were re-christened the "Lakers" in reference to Minnesota's nickname, "The Land of 10,000 Lakes". Berger and Chalfen hired Max Winter to become the Lakers' new general manager. Max Winter later became a founder and owner of the Minnesota Vikings franchise of the National Football League. Winter bought partial ownership rights of the Minnesota Lakers, but later sold them when he left the Lakers in 1955. We now know the Gems as the Los Angeles Lakers. Basketball was not the only place Boring made an impact. He also made his presence known in baseball. Boring served a scout for both the St. Louis Browns and Detroit Tigers. Boring also coached a Class A level team in Dearborn, Michigan. On four occasions his teams reached the Class A national finals. The last came in 1978. Fifteen future major league players played for Boring. Perhaps the most famous was former Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres first baseman Steve Garvey. Boring was elected to the Dearborn Sports Hall of Fame in 1978. The city's softball complex is named after him. Boring first got into sports while growing up in rural Salem. He played basketball, baseball and track in high school. Boring recalled when he went out for the high school team as a freshman, competition was very stiff. He noted 93 boys were out for the team, but he overcame the odds and made the varsity. Boring died in April, 1996. Close to the courthouse, police station, the Henry Ford Centennial Library, and is part of the Dearborn Community and Performing Arts Center. The indoor area features a swimming pool with a lazy river, a gymnasium with full basketball courts, a climing wall and a fitness center. The outside area is complete with two full-size baseball diamonds, including King Boring Field, a full soccer field, play areas and a concession stand.
