    This is one of the coolest baseball fields outside of a major league stadium I've ever been to…read more I watched the Newark Pilots take on the Elmira Pioneers and my son was here playing for the Pilots. The box seats were inexpensive for the game and that put me closer to the action on the field. I met the team owner while I was buying a hotdog and hamburger and she was very friendly. I can see why the environment was so fun. There is not a lot to do in Elmira, but if there is a game, I highly recommend you to go!

    Play ball, Elmira! It's easy to see that the Pioneers are a big draw on summer nights. What's nice…read moreto see is that the experience is similar to how the team must have been during Elmira's single-A days, and how the team is still a priority for Elmira. Previously a short season single-A team, the Pioneers are currently a summer collegiate baseball league. (Many of the teams in the college league are former pro teams.) Dunn Field is the home of the team, and still has some signs of being a former professional team. The stadium is well maintained, and there is plenty of activity. When I was there, the team had a baseball card promotion, the idea being that your current Pioneers might be tomorrow's superstars. Truthfully, you never know, but the Pioneers aren't in a league full of future superstars, and it can show during the game itself. The experience is similar to what you'd see at a minor league game, just on a smaller level. When I was there, you had live music in one corner, the baseball card promotion in another, and your usual between innings entertainment, featuring the Pioneers mascot and kid friendly activities. The game itself wasn't too exciting, but I also wasn't paying a ton of attention. It's a decent ballgame for a night, but keep in mind that although single-A and collegiate ball are similar, there's definitely a difference in quality. Out of all the collegiate teams I've seen, Elmira has the most potential to one day become a single-A team once again, though I wouldn't count on it. Going to a Pioneers game is a nice experience, but younger kids will appreciate it more than older kids. It's nice to see the community turn out to support the ballplayers of tomorrow.
