It is really wonderful to get behind a professional local team in a mid-sized city! And this club…read morehas it all - a great team, coaches, and supporters. The venue is easy to get to and the prices make it much more available to families (no more spending hundreds of dollars to see a pro club in this state!) - reminds me of the friendly and affordable games me and my dad went to in NY as a kid in the 80s. The merchandise is high quality and affordable and there are always surprise give-aways at every home game.

Wade Stadium was my first baseball stop during my 2015 vacation where we watched the Duluth Huskies…read moretake on the Thunder Bay Border Cats. The stadium itself was easy to find...kind of. It was a little confusing because behind/beside Wade Stadium are several other fields which, at the time we arrived, were also being used for softball games. Ample parking is available in the lot that is surrounded by these fields. Once parked, we walked to and around the brick wall and found the official entrance for Wade Stadium and the home of the Duluth Huskies. We watched the home team win a good game while surrounded by a supportive local community. I bought a travel mug because the proceeds go to the Wade Stadium Renovation Project. The concession stands didn't have anything that really stood out. The team store had all your essentials. The stadium itself is currently a work in progress so it doesn't seem fair to be too harsh in judgement. I do like supporting local baseball clubs and would gladly return to Wade Stadium after renovations.

We went to see the Duluth Huskies, as a start of our summer outings. I called the main number and…read moreleft a message to get information about how accessible the park was. The Head Coach Daniel Hersey of the Huskies called me back and was very informative on how to get tickets, the handicapped accessibility, and how I would be able to sit together with my family. We went on a Sunday June 2nd, 2013 for the Family Pack, you get 4 hot dogs, 4 small sodas, and 2 popcorns for $30.00 on home games. But, we needed an extra ticket for KayMarie with the food options, as well. Head Coach Daniel Hersey said they would charge $10.00 extra for the ticket and food. When we got to the gate to purchase our tickets and mentioned that we needed an extra ticket with the food, it took them awhile to completely understand what we needed. I even told them that the head coach called me and that is the price he said. They charged us the extra $10.00, and we were in. The gate entrance was easily handicapped accessible, I was in my large chair which is bigger than the standard 32" chair. We didn't know where to go for the handicapped seating. The staff were kind, but they would just point directions. It would have been nice to have been ushered, since this was our first time here. We got to the handicapped seating, and there were steps that I had a hard time getting passed. A standard chair would fit just fine, but my chair had to be angled just right to get through. People had to wait for me to get through. They were kind, but I got a bent wheel out of it. The handicapped seating was right next to the teams dugout, which brought an added bonus for Christopher's and Jonathan's first experience at a baseball game. My family was able to sit with me in the handicapped seating area which was great. The Sunday we went, it was a Double Header, and staff had said there was going to be fireworks. But, there was not, which was a little disappointing. That's why we stayed for second game, but, in the long run, it was a long day. Another suggestion we have is having someone at the gate entrance directing visitors with kids to the information booth to sign up for the kids activity contests. Both Christopher and Jonathan asked where they could enter to try to win, we had to tell them that we were not sure. We did have a lot of fun watching the Huskies play and buying a baseball for the meet and greet at the end of the game. Jonathan got to meet the players, and had them sign the baseball. He was really excited to be that close to the players for his first time. It was hard to get the wheelchair through the grass to get to the players, because it was wet and muddy, but it was worth it. For a reasonable, fun time at the ballpark and to support our local team this is a STOP IN.
