I went to see the Frederick Keys MiLB against the Williamsport Crosscutterers. We paid $15 for field seating rather than $10 general admission and were rewarded with a seat in the third row at roughly “first slip” position for RHB.

We had a top edge fly over the netting and land right in front of us. The lady who ended up with it gave it to NDW Jr and he was very pleased with his souvenir

en.m.wikipedia.org They used to be “High A” before the 2020 restructure

Felt like a 90s Sunday league cricket vibe with loads of kids still in school holidays. Highlight was the hotdog giveaway. A bit like you get t shirt cannon freebies but with a bloke and a basket full of foil wrapped hotdogs launching them into the crowd. Some made it intact some didn’t…

My friend is going to Boston in September and paying $200, thinking you got better value for money. Don't think it's a top tier seat either.

Thanks it's a Saturday and they are playing another draw team.

Happy to take counteroffers on times. Figured 6pm Sunday was exactly a week before Redzone starts… could do Saturday 6pm instead?

We paid about $25 for tickets by the 1st base foul pole for orioles dodgers last year but that was a midweek afternoon game

57.5 Degrees of Pain
When I used to go to watch the AAA Syracuse Sky Chiefs in the late 90s it was usually free with a couple of tokens from the local paper. Think it was $4 general admission otherwise.

I assume it is a bit different now with little or no subsidy from MLB.

Blimey yes. Worcester Red Sox you can pay $50 for a top seat. Polar Park’s nice though. Nicer than Fenway if you value modernity.
