Last week we had our first tournament at the Beebe Complex. It was a very disappointing ball park. I hope we don't attend any other tournaments there.
There are 6 fields in the complex and one set of bathrooms that are totally inadequate for the number of people that could be there. There was always a line to the ladies room and there was usually a wait for the men's room as well. The men's room had one stall and one urinal and my wife said the ladies room just had 2 stalls.
In addition to the lack of facilities there is also a lack of shade. There are no canopies to provide shade or cover from foul balls and there are no trees to provide shade as well. The general appearance of the fields looked like they were fairly well taken care of. Seating was also an issue some fields had cement areas you could set your chairs up on other did not. Each field also had a brick backstop wall which looked very nice until you tried to sit and watch the games, the wall was about 2 feet too high for the average person to sit behind and watch the game.
The complex did have a kids play area that was covered but it was so far away there would be no way I would let a small child get that far from me during a ball game.
The concession stand did seem nice but we didn't visit it. I started to but the guy smoking his vapor pipe kind of turned me off. read more
