Thought process on my review: Prior to arrival: 4 stars for celery bobblehead giveaway, -1 because there are only 500 Upon arrival: 5 stars because I got the celery bobblehead. Prior to the game: 3 stars because the netting goes all the way down both baselines and you can't walk around the stadium. During the game: 4 stars, a good number of promotions, good sightlines, plenty of foul balls to catch. After the game: It was an exciting comeback by the visiting Renegades (my own High A team as a Yankees fan) and the moose came to visit our section, so a grudging 5 stars. But the celery should also have come and visited us! Just saying for next time.

blue rocks games are a nice time for families or going out with friends to enjoy a ballgame. the stadium itself is beautiful and normally very clean with good views of the field from all over. rocky, the coolest mascot in sports, is all over and interacts with fans all game long (as you can see in my picture). it's also very easy to meet both the home and away players before/after the game which is cool. food and drink prices are equally as unreasonable as other professional sports stadiums, so i don't slight them for that and all staff members i've talked to over the many years have been nice. great stadium, great atmosphere, and free parking

Cute stadium. Not a bad seat in the stadium. Cashless, food was reasonable. Great for families.

Cool baseball stadium in Wilmington. We decided to check out a minor league game here because the Blue Rocks are the Nats high A farm team. A good way to check out the top prospects for the Nats. The employees and Rocky the mascot were super friendly. The customer service dude tracked down Rocky for me so I could meet him and take a pic. I've been shut down at other stadiums for wanting to meet the mascot by unfriendly staff. My experience here was awesome.

I've been going to games here for 30 years. Took my family to April 16ths game. We are used to a good park experience but came away disappointed. There was no popcorn to be had at all. Hot sausages were only being served from the 1st base side concession stand but were not available until the 4th inning. The concession stand on the 3rd base side was poorly managed all day. Only 2 registers were open, creating a very long line the entire game. They were being attended by a group of teenage girls who were more interested in goofing off and talking than waiting on customers. Lastly Fuscos Italian Ice had a stand which was nice. But didn't have any straws or spoons to offer forcing customers to have to wait for the ice to basically melt so it could be consumed as a drink. I've never had a stadium experience like this here before. I'm hoping it was an anomaly. The Blue Rocks lost

This was an awesome experience all around! 1. Parking is free. By in large when it comes to professional sports of any type where can you still get free parking? Every MLB team hoses you down and at least every MiLB stadium I've been to has charged me something be it $3 or $5 etc. 2. Deal on Living Social. The Blue Rocks run a promo every summer for a few games and the prices are dirt F-ing cheap. When combined with a 20% off flash sale promo on Living Social our four seats were $9. $9 for four seats ten rows behind the plate. Unreal! 3. The prices for concessions while high compared to real world pricing are not bad when compared to professional sports team pricing. Five dollar Italian ices which are huge or you can mosey up to the Toasty Roasty for a crab filled grilled cheese and tomato soup. Not a ton of choices overall but it's good enough. 4. No seat is a bad seat. This place is a mouse fart in terms of stadium size. Maybe the capacity is 6K which for me is on the smaller side as I'm use to games in Reading (PA) where for AA they can bring in 9K or Allentown (PA) where it's 10K. 5. No asinine stuff like the IronPigs do in Allentown where every two seconds there has to be an annoying product placement ad or a noise or a walkup song a strikeout song or a bleep, bloop, fart, screech or some other BS. There are still the typical things you would expect to see at a minor league baseball game it's just not shoved up your ass like they do in Allentown where they treat you like you have ADD and need to be entertained at all times lest I don't know, you actually have to watch the game on the field? With that here's the downside. Even with a Living Social promo running they listed the attendance at 3K and change which in theory would be half filled. No F-ing way was the place half filled. Maybe and I mean maybe there were 2K in the park and I'm pretty sure it was less than that. We had no one in our row or the row in front of us or the row in front of that. Our entire section (H) had maybe twelve people in it. Most of the seats in the first row in every section behind the plate were either empty or were last second fill ins from scouts with radar guns. I guess this team lacks a committed fan base or maybe it's because they're currently the worst team in the Carolina League or again, maybe it's because no one cares? Either way this is sort of a throw back to what minor league games were like maybe fifteen years ago before teams started to try and build tax payer funded mini-major league palaces or decided that every game had to be a giant ad push for you to buy something. No, here it's still mostly about the baseball and while I get that's a dying way of life/dying way to experience the game it's the way it was meant to be experienced and I know that I would have no problem paying the $11 per ticket for the same seats we sat in because everything was 1st class. We will be back. (If you like to foam there is plenty of SEPTA and Amtrak action beyond the CF-LF wall.)

Enjoyed the Blue Rocks game last night on a perfect baseball evening. For those Yelpers new to minor league ball this is completely different experience from a major league game. Compared to a Phillies game here are some of the biggest differences- Cheaper! - Just about everything is less. Reserved seats are $9. (You can purchase online) Parking is free. Beer is cheaper with the usual drafts at $5.75. Food is a little less. You're closer to the action! - This is big and much different from a major league experience. Here you are very close to the game. Be aware of foul balls. Silly things between innings! - Lots of crazy little contests/races/etc. This is great if you have kids. Fireworks! - There is a great fireworks display after a game virtually every week! It's usually on Friday and definitely a big draw. Check online for the dates. Iron Hill Brewery! - There is a location of this great chain right next door so you can combine a ball game with quaffing a microbrew or two. Give it a try on a pleasant summer night. You won't be disappointed.

Attending these games are great fun for the whole family. Enjoy fireworks if you attend a Friday night game. There are silly races and things in between innings. Food tastes good. Friendly atmosphere.

I'm becoming an aficionado of minor league baseball. Right now it's a much better bang for your buck than the Phillies. Consider this... Two front row tickets for the Blue Rocks - $22 Dinner for two adults and one toddler - $32 Parking - Free Total of $54. Phillies game... Two of the worst seats in the ballpark - $40 Parking - $16 I've already spent $56 and haven't eaten a thing. Keep in mind I was far more willing to spend that 4 years ago when the Phillies were relevant. I am not a fair weather fan. I love the Phillies more than anything. But in this day and age where entertainment dollars are at a premium for anyone with a family, the Blue Rocks are a worthy option that won't kill your bank account. And by the way, they make awesome grilled cheese sandwiches with crabmeat, roasted corn, and fresh lemonade here. That combo includes chips for $16. Plus as I was walking out in the parking lot in the 7th inning (my toddler can only take so much), I happened to find a foul ball just sitting in the parking lot. I now love it here.
