Kona - Bradenton

Doing tourist things Beach n Ballgames was on the list of to do's .....Great place to catch a game! Not a bad seat in the house in my perspective. The small number of food stations had a variety of menus and pricing wasn't expensive.. The beverage stands both adult and kid friendly had reasonable prices and I was pleasantly surprised. I could only Imagine how rockin this place is during spring training season!!! The parking is super close to the main gate I am in firm belief that the overall planning and logistics of this stadium are professionally done and handled well! We parked right behind home plate!!! This stadium is a must visit if in the area and you like baseball. With the family friendly vibe. The walk to the outfield is just was the girls needed. Bartender at Kona bar was super nice and got me a much needed cup of ice and ice cold beer on this day. 10/10 times I would return... I have yet to have a bad time at a minor league game Thank you Bradenton for having us!!! We shall return! Respectfully, Bryan Yukon, Oklahoma

Being a native Pittsburgh girl, we decided to drive down to Bradenton to go to a Pirates spring training game. The game started at one on Sunday, and the weather was perfect. The stadium is very fan friendly. Every seat provides a good view. My husband spent 40 dollars a seat and got us great seats near the first base line. Before the game, we walked around the entire stadium to check it out. There are plenty of drink and food concessions so everyone should be able to find something they like. We opted for the bratwurst sandwiches, fully loaded. They were delicious. A great way to spend an afternoon.

We have been coming to this ballpark for many years and I can't believe I have never written a review. The ballpark is beautiful and seems to be well maintained. It's much more exciting to come for spring training, but coming to see the Marauders is a nice way to spend a summer evening. Since the crowds are low, they only have a few concession stands open and the food is just ok.....typical ballpark food. We had seats behind home plate which were great. I should have brought my seat cushion as the seats tend to get hard after awhile. They have a few crowd interaction things which are really nice for the kids. If I could stop my review here, I would give them 5 stars. We had 3 young adults slightly behind us who were yelling at the players, dropping the f bomb and just annoying everyone around them. After about the 4th inning, my husband went and explained to an usher what was going on. He came over and told them he heard there was some cussing going on and they needed to stop. 2 innings later they started again. You would think the usher would keep an eye on them, considering there were only 622 in attendance at the game. Nope....he did nothing. We finally got disgusted and left and spoke to him on the way out. He couldn't have cared less. 2 other people in charge talked to us, with the last one giving us his card and telling us to call if we wanted to see a game. How about you take my info down and reach out to me. You allowed 3 people to ruin an experience for many.

What a great place to watch a Pittsburgh Pirates spring training game. There's not a bad seat in the house they have regular stadium seats, and also bleacher rows where you'll probably want to bring some cushioning if you're staying for a full 9 inning game. Seats are affordable, and the markup for buying online is minimal. The volunteer ushers were friendly and helpful, and there are plenty of concession stands and large restrooms throughout the stadium. Parking lots are plentiful, with the stadium outfield lot charging $15, and other local lots charging similar or less. On the day we visited the game, there were four young kids in the row in front of us, and each were either tossed a baseball or were given one by one of the coaches. Definitely a fun experience.

Considering it is close to 100 years old, it's not too bad. depends on how long you can sit on a bleacher. lots of food and drink available, it's in the middle of a neighborhood you might not want to stroll after a game.
