The parking was $30 and you get to park decently close to the stadium. Bring a clear bag because they are very strict with their bag policy. The food was surprisingly good also.

So this review is for the park as an MLB park, not minor affiliate... Visiting all the ball parks ( over 20 at this time), as well as several spring training games and minor league affiliate games... that said: *Poor-fair signing throughout the park to make it feel like an A's place-- I mean, I hate the Yankees but they totally transformed Steinbrenner Field last year ('25) to look like the Rays belonged there- complete with signs on every day, including janitorial closets!!! With the TB insignia *only one spot had ice cream helmets -- on the first base side-- which we discovered late into the game when we saw someone enjoying one by our third base side seats *standard minor league food choices--substandard majors..glad I ate before the game *fair fan interaction *why don't you list the player's positions? Not only on the lineups but also at bat? I knew nothing about the A's, so can't build a fan base if I don't know where they are on the field The good: *lots of grass seating: great for families *friendly team shop staff *tons of toilets in the ladies room- no wait *decent scoreboard and stats info across the stadium *fun baseball themed kid's playground as well as a mini field *Spent 5 days in Oakland back in 2019, so West Sacramento is definitely an upgrade for many reasons... *recognized the "beer guy" as the beer guy in our section at the Giants game the other day! Memorable and recognizable in a good way, and he was truly humbled that we recognized him!

Surrounding stadium area: Located at Heart Health Park in Cal Expo, the Sac Republic facility is a really nice spot. Outside of the field was almost a dozen food (pizza, Greek, Tacos, German, frozen treats, etc.) & drink trucks (beers, Margaritas, Agua Frescas, etc.) options. Stadium area: VIP seating to the South, Home field side to the West, Away side to the East, and the tall bleachers to the North. SRFC also has a really nice field. Overall: Good area, good assorted food & drinks options, good stadium.

Extra-OK. Could've been better is a more accurate description…read more Exciting that the home team won but the venue will be happy when everyone has relocated. It feels like a Band-Aid...probably because it is and has been for over a decade. The brand new venue, whenever it shows up https://www.republicstadium.com will hopefully be a good one. Sure, if you can't survive a couple hours without alcohol, you can splurge and sink some earnings in to a beverage and even scarf down some food for a premium. Passed on all that this time. This felt permanently temporary and with good reason- it is. It was exciting to stomp on the metal bleachers when that happened. It also felt like a high school rally where the kiddos would stomp and pout and make as much noise as they could. Found myself applauding because that seemed appropriate at the time but could not understand what seemed like trying to play an instrument with your feet on the metal bleacher. Parking seemed convenient enough. $15 for the evening with a back exit to split when the time came. It will cost more at the new place because this is left over space from a pretty much fallen California Exposition Center. They'll have to pave new lots. Yay. Bathrooms were porta-potties. Most of them were anyways. Yet another permanently temporary band-aid. Let's hope they don't take them out to the new stadium. Food venues looked like leftovers from the fair. Not about that. The "premium" spots gated and guarded by folks who want more money to sit down will hopefully get some real upgrades as opposed to the fancy net protecting them at this place. Had some dudes sing the National Anthem (ooh, anthem time baby!) and a brief half time display. Thanks Rachel, for the scarf. It seemed warm and the stadium was half in the sun upon arrival so shorts and a t-shirt were too much. Sun went down and it got a little chilly so the scarf-ish thing was welcome. "Bonney Field is not meant to be a permanent structure." This is the same place but with new name tags. The quote is from over 11 years ago. Out with the old, in with the new. Not entirely disappointed in going to this old setup (will most likely be the first and last time going here) and not bothered in the least that it's going away.

Another Kings game, and today, I am visiting the Backstage Lounge for the first time. The…read moreBackstage Lounge is available, 90 minutes before game time, and cost $175. for access. It includes food and drinks. It's a cozy space to accommodate guests with a few screens to view the game if you haven't made it to your seats on time. They have a few buffets set up. Today, One has the main food, including grilled chicken, brussel sprouts and broccoli, fries, chicken strips and hot dogs, with servers. There were also hamburger sliders upon request, and they were served by staff. One bar was a charcuterie display, another dessert bar on top with salad bowls on the bottom. Another bar had dogs in a blanket with cheese sauce optional. It was great to experience, but pretty pricey if you don't drink. The game itself is always a lot of fun, but it wasn't a packed house while Kings only had 9 players available tonight. There was only one veteran player and the rest were the young/new players, so they were fun to watch. We did lose tonight. Only a few home games left.

So the first person to review the Hornets Nest gets to be someone who never attended Sac State! The…read moreHornets Nest is the home of the Sac State Basketball team and likely others. It is located on the northern part of the campus closer to J Street. Parking is pretty easy with a very large parking garage near the facility which includes abundant EV charging. The Nest is actually on the smaller side. They recently repainted the interior which makes it a little darker and feeling a little smaller than before. Seating is basic with bleachers and retractable chairs along the side court section. The nice part of this is that all seats are really close to the action. As you enter the Nest, there is a small concession stand selling nonalcoholic drinks and snacks. Tickets are sold online, but they also sell tickets at the game. Restrooms are small and old, but the crowds are usually small so it's not an issue on the mens side. Staff are great and helpful, even for the opposing team's fans. If you are like me and root for the other team, sit behind the visitors bench for the "Away" section. Come here for a great basketball game. The games are less than two hours and action packed. Sure, you could pay more and see professionals downtown. However, the Hornets Nest is a great way to see the action up close and is cheap enough for the whole family to enjoy.
