They're part of the Northwoods League which has had a number of players go on to the big leagues, including my Brewers' Eric Thames. The price of tickets and the ease of parking and leaving games make it a great value. The price of concessions is slightly better than other venues. The facilities are nothing special. For some reason, every time I catch a game, I get stuck next to the most annoying people in the whole section, but that's hard to control. Overall, it really is a worthwhile experience, and the baseball is competitive. If you enjoy baseball--and aren't there just to take selfies--I would highly recommend catching a game. I love it!

There was a little rain but that didn't stop us from having fun at the Quack of a Bat! A Mallards game is must-do summer activity especially for anyone exploring Madison. Not only is it great for community spirit it's also great entertainment. The quack is back with summer fun for the whole family. Some of the Highlights of the night: Star Wars characters you find roaming around the park. Delicious ballpark food and locally brewed beers. The mallards taking home the win. My personal favorite Maverick, the Madison Mallards' superstar bat dog.

We had talked…read moreabout going with friends so we finally purchased some tickets online and made our way to the Alliant Energy Center. The parking lot was quite full due to a big event in the exhibition hall but at least there was no charge for parking. After finally figuring out where this event was being held we made our way into the bleachers (I know why people brought their own chairs). Not being fans it took us awhile to figure out the flow of the match and some of the rules (thanks to nearby fans who filled in the blanks). Unfortunately the PA system was so poor it was almost impossible to follow any helpful information they might have been announcing. The match last almost two hours which was pretty long and a bit repetitive- one half would have been enough. Some good action at times but a bit slow. Interesting enough to go once but I won't be rushing back.
