My sister and niece invited my Wife and I to Sonic Drive In, a baseball game and 4th of July fireworks afterwards. Who would say no to any of that? Not us! First. Anytime with my sister and niece Samantha is a good time. The only bad part is that my sister makes good money and pays for a lot of things Second. Sonic is bomb. I rarely eat there because of location but dang if it ain't good. Like slap your homie good. Third. I love baseball. No matter how late the game goes. Well, I may bow out at inning 24. I've heard of games going longer. This was a great game full of action from both teams. It went past 10:30. Our seats were awesome. Just a few rows back from home plate. Gotta keep an eye out for foul ball going over the net. Fourth. It was the 4th of July. Seriously. A baseball game then fireworks. They lit off near 11:00 pm. but it was well worth the wait. We had a glimpse of the new stadium being built. It looks amazing so far. I can't wait to see a baseball game there. I wonder what they'll do with the soon to be "old stadium?" It's still in great shape. Not for me to decide. read more

I hate to say it, but the old stadium was better. I don't understand what was wrong with it. I notice that the high end comfy chairs behind home plate are usually completely empty. Maybe someone miscalculated the demand for such seats? The drink holders are poorly placed, right behind the shoulder of the person sitting in front of you. If this person has long hair, then it will trail through your drink or ice cream or fruit cup. Who came up with that read more

Hillsboro Stadium - Poor placement of cup holders. Thank goodness these people are wearing hoodies and their hair isn't wrapped around my straw! - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

This is a GREAT light display!! and it is free!!! We pulled right up and in we went. It has grown over the last few years and has more displays and 2 tunnels. The big tree is a highlight! don't miss this during December it is easy to get to and you can eat at many restaurants near it. read more

We made it up to Hillsboro Stadium for the first time to watch Portland State Vikings take on Eastern Washington. Not only was it a great football game but the venue was terrific. The food choices were really nice and good variety of items offered throughout. The stadium is very clean and welcoming, bathrooms were spotless and no crowding. Very leisurely, clean, fun venue. Great job staff, we will be back! read more

What a fitting embodiment of Hillsboro government's overall worldview. Flanked by a highway, strip malls, wetlands and tech factory smokestacks, Hillsboro Stadium and the Gordon Faber sports complex's only redeeming quality was its use as a public good. Youth programs, rec leagues, Portland State and even semi-pro teams used its playing fields and parking lots as both venues and vital third spaces--gathering places that didn't necessarily involve buying a product. By 2025, three of those playing surfaces will be gone: Replaced by a Live Nation venue that will draw whatever acts Edgefield, Moda Center, Grand Lodge and Ridgefield reject and will host a Single-A ball club that, as of a recent Wednesday, drew fewer than 900 people to a 10 year old ballpark that fits 4,500. This new venue will cost $120 million and will use state, county and city tax dollars to fund events that will all charge admission. The "old" ballpark will stay up, because why tear down a car dealer's dream? Since the Hillsboro Hops arrived on the stadium grounds in 2013, their attendance has plummeted, their inability to promote Timbers 2 events drove that team back to Providence Park, their stint as temporary home to the Vancouver Canadians resulted in fewer than 500 people showing up for each game... yet their monopoly on these public grounds has only increased. Why? What public good have they contributed? How did they help youth soccer teams or the Fighting Shockwave? What support did they give one of Hillsboro's most prodigious sports--softball--whatsoever? None of that matters. The greying elders of Hillsboro government find the owner to be a "nice guy" and will hand him whatever he desires (including whatever tourism funds he needs from the country tourism board he somehow chairs). They fast tracked a publicly funded stadium without any public input--and without even consulting their own city's parks department--and have decided that these public playfields would be better served as private venues for Poison and Matchbox 20 shows. As excellent as those stage lights will look as they reflect off the steam of the Linde scrubbers and bounce off of the thick haze produced by the nearby Intel plant at Ronler Acres, Hillsboro Stadium and Gordon Faber just won't be a place that much of Hillsboro uses anymore. It'll be a monument to a handful of people's dreams of playing in the big leagues and providing a big-time destination by the highway. I hate to say it, folks, but if they aren't gathering under the high tension towers for Hops games now, no amount of REO Speedwagon shows will bring them to this joyless, transit-barren waste in the future. read more

awful experience. not enough restrooms and terrible facility and traffic management. this place is the pits.

Concert venue review: I don't know if they regularly have concerts here, but it was totally unorganized from beginning to end. It took about an hour to get in due to the huge backed-up security line. They didn't open more lines until the line stretched to the parking lot. I've never been searched so thoroughly--the woman really stuck her hand in you bag looking for anything suspicious. And don't try hiding anything under your hat--you have to remove that too. There were giant trash cans full of practically full drinks, which were not allowed--what a waste! This was followed by a hand-held metal detector. The field itself is nice, and I was appreciative of the large covered/shaded bleachers on the south end. There's a section of chairs with backs on them as well. Even with several vendors on the field, lines were long and slow for food, drinks, concessions, and bathrooms, of which there were 2/gender for over 5,000 people. Early on in the festival, one side of sinks was out of soap, leaving 1 soap dispenser for about 10 toilets. Empty bottles for water were allowed, but there was even a line for the water fountains. There were only 2, which were side-by-side, and right by concessions, making all of the lines hard to keep track of. When we tried to use the ones at Ron Tonkin field, we got busted by security. There were also technical difficulties on the stage throughout the afternoon/evening. The stage lights went dark after 3 or 4 songs into the headliner. I don't know what happened, but didn't stick around to find out. read more

Hillsboro Stadium is part of a larger facility called the "Gordon Faber Recreation Complex". Who is Gordon Faber? He was the mayor of Hillsboro from 1993 to 2001. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Faber I've had the opportunity to attend a few Century High School JV football games here this season. Our friends' son is on the team (O-line and Defensive End, for you football guys). This is a seriously nice place. It's proximity to Highway 26 (it's right off the Cornelius Pass Road exit) and ample parking make it easy to want to attend events here. The seating is extremely comfortable, and you can choose between actual seats with backs or standard bleachers. It's ADA compliant, which is convenient. You've got your standard concessions via a stand, and they've even got hot cider, which is nice on the chilly fall days in which football is played. Watching football games this season has been nostalgic for me, and I will admit that may be a contributing factor to the 5 star review. I haven't been to a high school football game since, well, high school, and we're beyond 20 years ago at this point. It brings me back to a time when I wasn't worried about mortgages, bills in general, deadlines at work... etc. A nice escape, essentially. Century High School is lucky to be able to use this facility for football games. I'm looking forward to attending many, many more in the future. Go Jags! read more

This is a heavily used multipurpose stadium complex. It has football, soccer, lacrosse and baseball fields on turf and a couple of grass baseball fields. Considering how heavily the placed is used, it's in fantastic shape. Only a couple of issues. If it is a big event, there really isn't enough parking and I discovered during a championship marching band competition. I've also learned that the volunteer groups doing the concessions don't necessarily have food handlers cards. Your safe with packaged items, but otherwise, I wouldn't touch it. Don't know of anyone getting sick, but who wants to take a chance? Not I. Right now construction is going on with the Single A baseball stadium, which is kind of making a mess of things, but that should be done in a few months. read more

If it's good for softball, it must be for other sports. With this Gordon Faber complex concentrating on field sports- baseball/ softball and the main stadium for football/ lacrosse, it can surely accommodate a lot of people. There is ample parking space for everyone. If it fills up like on a sold out Hops game, there is an overflow somewhere. Tons of it. read more

Great stadium. Beautiful park. Years ago I came here for a football game. It was nice then. Now they have a beautiful Baseball Park. I love it. Great atmosphere and a great place to have fun with your family. read more

This is an impressive stadium for the area. Multiple fields and organized seating. I didn't go to Concessions, but it looked like they had good options. It was cold and rainy the day I was there, when I went to the ladies restroom it was so WARM and clean! I wasn't the only who noticed because there was a group of us that just huddled in there to get warm enough before we headed back out. read more

My husband and I love this ballpark! There isn't a bad seat in the house. They carry great beer options. They even have lots of vegetarian options!!! You just don't see that at venues like this. My favorite is the veggie burger. They even cook it on foil to prevent any meat dropping. I love the care they take with the food. The veggie dog is a little weird. Its super hot. I'm not much for spicy food so I couldn't eat it. But if you love spicy food, give it a try. read more

This is a nice complex to watch the Hillsboro Hops but where are the water fountains? I have an inkling parking will soon become a problem as the team becomes more popular. read more

We saw a Hillsboro Hops game here and it was great! Not too big, not too small, really a comfortable size. Every seat has a great view of the game. I didn't try any of the food/drinks, so I will not comment on them. I am not sure if the parking lot would actually be big enough to handle all the people who might come, and I wonder if there is a common issue with foul hits hitting the cars. Oh well, I guess we will find out with time. read more

Cutest mascot EVER Aqua Sox vs. Hops was sadly a loss for the hometeam, but everyone in the stands went home happy. While the size of the stadium is small, they don't short-change patrons in the concessions, beverage, and fun factor department. There was a variety of food throughout the several concession stands, and to my extreme joy they had no less than 3 Bridgeport Brews on tap. And at $6 for a 20 oz. not a bad price to boot. There were so many bright shirt bedecked employees milling around to pump the crowd up, help out if they were needed, and even walked down the aisles towards the end of the game to pick up trash. Between innings there would be games on the field set up to entertain the crowd. Most of them involved little kids being adorable and humiliating themselves at the same time, so everybody wins! This was a nice touch, and definitely helped lend to the small town community feel. Overall, never a dull moment and a fun experience. So glad to have a minor league team in Hillsboro. I just hope the Hops get hoppin' here pretty soon. read more

Beautiful park with good seating, lots of amenities. Lots of food and drink choices, reasonable parking. Love it. Went to a couple other non-baseball events there which were also very good. read more

Nice place. Roomy. Comfortable as stadium chairs go. Good beers in tap. Enjoyed the game with my company.

As far as small ballparks go, this is a great experience. Everything is clean and maintained. The staff are all fairly personable and it's just a great environment with fairly cool food selections. The reason I can't give it a full 5 stars is because, like any entertainment venue, I just am unwilling to accept the exorbitant prices for food and beverages. Even for a small, single A baseball club. It's the principal of it all. You'd think the prices would be a little less than major stadiums, but alas it is not, and that's because we all pay for it because we're going to be there for a few hours and we can't bring our own peanuts. read more

As good as it gets! Such a fun experience to either go as a family night and get hot dogs and sodas and take in the game on a sunny day or do an adult night and get beer and peanuts. The stadium is beautiful, atmosphere is lively and if you want to celebrate the All American game of baseball in Oregon... this is your place. Fun music, mascot and upbeat vibe. We did season tickets the first year and picked 5 games but this year we will hit 2 or 3 games. SO much fun. I am pleased we have baseball back in Oregon. Great experience! read more

PISS POOR SERVICE.!!! Recieved tickets as a gift and my boyfriend and I were excited to spend the afternoon at a game. Traffic is horrible since there is only one road in and one road out... $5 to park. There are no signs letting you know where to park for specific events. Today there was softball, soccer and a hops game. We parked and walked up to the gate. There was a sweet couple in front of us and she looked to be 8 months pregnant. We all get to the gate and the punk teenage "ticket checker" refused to let them and then us through the gate. We were told to walk back out and ALL THR WAY AROUND THE.SOCCER FIELD so we can have our tickets stamped. The pregnant couple turned and walked away. Im sorry thats not cool with me.. I said the the punk kid " are you kidding me? She is pregnant! And you wont let jer in!?" He responded with "I dont care and looks like they dont either, they dont have a problem walking all the way around!" I saw an official looking man and asked who manages those ticket takers and he said " they dont take tickets... its policy, go around" fuck that im sorry but there arr no signs of where to go or park. I demanded my $5 back for parking and gave away my amazing tickets. Thank you teenage punk and Mr. Official Prick for ruining my day. I will never be back. Im really glad I didnt pay for thosr tickets! read more
