So apparently Hancock Whitney Stadium is the "4th best stadium in the country." I don't know what…read morecountry they're talking about -- maybe the country from Mad Max where everything's a wasteland -- but it's definitely not the one with actual functioning football venues. Calling this the 4th best stadium is like calling gas station sushi the 4th best meal in America. It's delusional, it's offensive, and it's probably dangerous to your health. The "amenities" include bleachers that feel like you're sitting on a punishment device from medieval times, a sound system that makes every announcement sound like Charlie Brown's teacher, and a scoreboard that looks like it was ordered off Craigslist. The atmosphere? Imagine a high school game where everyone's dad is yelling about "running the ball" while holding a warm Busch Light. That's the energy. Food? If you like paying $10 for nachos that taste like they were made during the COVID lockdown and stored under the bleachers since, you're in luck. I'll give it this -- it's probably the 4th best stadium in Mobile. And that's only because there are only 3 others.

The video board and fireworks are quite impressive and everything's shiny and brand spanking new in this 25,000-seater. I didn't get a chance to visit, but there's a nice sized "locker room" on site to shop for souvenirs, gifts, and team paraphernalia. Social distancing and masks are required, there are ample sanitizing stations, clear bag policy is in full effect, and it's 100% cash-less.

This is an epic (seriously, Hollywood level production) Christmas light show paired to the holiday music streaming on the radio of your car, and Hank Aaron Stadium knocked it out of the park! (See what I did there? Lol!) The show, the ease of navigating the layout, the directions, the innovation, the LIGHTS (my God -- the beautiful lights), the song selection, the comfort of enjoying from inside your vehicle and not freezing to death outside -- I loved all 20ish minutes of it! Everything was fabulous and like nothing I (nor the hubs) had every witnessed before! Mobile definitely knows how to put on a Christmas Light Show, and if you know like I know-- you'll grab your kid(s), grab $6 bucks per head over 3 yrs old, and get down to the stadium before the CNOL season ends. (Money more than well spent, trust me!) P.S. Keep your eyes peeled for Santa, he's there too!

Yeesh! I don't even know where to begin with the Mobile Civic Center!…read more It's here, standing (for now) and offering a public service -- I guess. I'm torn between the assessment of 2 and 3 stars. (3 being an average, but still positive, rating -- I don't think I can because my cons certainly outweigh the positives) There, it's settled. The hubs and I visited the Civic Center for the first time to attend a Mardi Gras ball. The place is HUGE, but extremely (severely and sorely) outdated. (Pretty sure that's why the city is soon tearing it down!) The restrooms were flooded halfway through the night, the restroom doors were hit or miss on locks, and don't even get me started on the shoddy AC-- you're cool in one room, literally burning up in the next. I did love looking down on the ball's main dance floor from the 2nd floor seating. Oh, and there was plenty parking -- am I reaching now?! Sorry. Did it serve its purpose? Yes! Would I be missing out if I never went back? No, not at all! Overall, it's a shell of an old building (that once was, maybe) that's workable for a few hours (before the flooding), and that's about all I've got on the Mobile Civic Center. I will say that the Mystics of Time is a great job of fixing it up and decorating the venue for their ball!

What a BEAUTIFUL park!…read more Visiting the Blue Wahoo Stadium during a recent vacation was the one thing I told my family I HAD to do. I am so happy for sticking to that choice! This park was everything I was hoping for and MORE! We live near the Beloit Sky Carp Stadium which is also within the Marlins organization. That stadium is very new and also very cool but lacks in so many ways that The Wahoo Stadium Excels. The Stadium Seeing the Gulf of Mexico in the outfield while inside of a stadium is such a cool experience. It honestly is one of the best parks at any level that I have been to. They stadium seemed pretty large and it was practically sold out and yet i never felt crowded or overwhelmed. They have vendors everywhere so you aren't having to walk far at all when wanting food or drinks. Lastly, their prices really were very reasonable. Compared to parks in WI and IL, they did not break the bank which really surprised me. The Food They have the obvious normal foods that every park has but then they offered a ton of cool Florida themed seafoods, and other types of things I am not used to seeing where we live. They had tons of options for kids as well. The Entertainment I am a very traditional baseball fan and like to focus on the game alone, but I am not unrealistic when it comes to having young children who need a little more. The Wahoo's did such a good job in between innings to keep the kids engaged which was really fun to see. My Youngest usually wants to leave by the 5th and we were able to enjoy the entire game because she was engaged with things the whole time. This is a must visit attraction in Pensacola in my opinion. A nice break from the beach and other touristy attractions. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I brought my 6 year old niece and we had home plate box seats in Sec. 102, Row 4. The net now goes all the way down baseline into outfield, so Ticketmaster seating chart is inaccurate. Had I known that, I would've bought the cheapest seat towards the outfield. Tickets for my game, June 2026, seemed to run $11-30. It's easy to enter and exit the park. There's a small pro shop and plenty of food and drink vendors but prices are high, on level with what you'd pay at a MLB game. $5 water, $10 hotdog, ball caps were $30-50, etc. Their website seems to offer a lot of game night promos, it was 2 for 1 night when we went but finding out what was on special was difficult when I did finally get answers after asking 3 staffers, it really wasn't a 2 for 1, more like combo deals. Our game ended up being suspended due to weather but they offered the opportunity to return for free to a future game this season. In the end, the experience was OK. In the future I'd come back but I'd buy the cheapest ticket and eat beforehand.

Of course it's a little pricey, because it's ballpark food. Lots of food to choose from - hot dogs (of course), pizza, chicken, BBQ, nachos, popcorn, the usual stuff you expect to see.

Well, although many (or most) aspects of my original review still ring true, I'm pleased to announce that a few changes have been made to make ol' Ladd Peebles a bit more palatable in 2 years' time. The parking situation is the same, but thankfully I've been delivered and now have a parking pass. Concessions are the same from what I hear as I haven't made a purchase since 2016. Now that I'm older, I do my very best to avoid the call of overpriced processed cheese (reformed concessions nachos lover here) and trans fats. I digress. But what has taken a turn for the better is the overall stadium itself. Some things have been patched and repainted, and it's looking more like a stadium this season. Not sure if the recent press and the threat of South's new on campus stadium has had anything to do with it-- just kidding, that's it! But, we'll take it. Ladd's an old staple for the football community in Mobile and beyond. (Bear Bryant coached a game here, right?!) And while no one's confusing it for the Mercedes Benz Superdome, it certainly serves its purpose!

Parking is limited and often you must park in yards or church parking lots and walk 2 to 4 blocks, but it is not bad. The locals and churches charge $5 to $10/car.
