    DOUBLE PLAY DAY This…read moreno-frills ballpark is fine for catching a game even though a handful of things are lacking. Downtown Joliet is home to Duly Health & Care Field, a small stadium that seats a mere 6,016 fans.  It was built in 2002 and renovated in 2018; the Joliet Slammers (née Joliet Jackhammers) of the Frontier League have called this place home for the last 24 years. The field itself is artificial turf, which I'm not a fan of, and I seriously doubt players prefer this to how real grass plays and feels.  Dimensions to the outfield wall are similar to the major leagues: 348ft to deep left, 400ft to straightaway center, 327ft to the right field foul pole. I came here on 5/20/26 for a 10am Wednesday morning game, a rarity for professional baseball.  This early start coincided with 'Education Day' and featured plenty of screaming school children in attendance.  Our group reserved a suite, and it was smaller than we expected. The food was basic though nonetheless appreciated.  In my mind, I'd envisioned a hearty breakfast spread for a 10am start, but in reality it was much simpler: hot dogs w/sauerkraut and toppings, chicken poppers, pasta salad, chips, cookies, and soft drinks.  Around the 3rd inning, they brought out cheese, pepperoni, and sausage pizzas. There was a bar just down the corridor on the suite level and I enjoyed a couple bloody mary's before switching to the bartender's cocktail-du-jour, a moonshine punch made with a hefty pour of booze.  After I tipped him, he asked me to leave a good word with management at least ~three~ times, which came off as pushy (and awkward). Some ballparks have majestic views, unfortunately Duly Health & Care Field is not among them.  Beyond right field is old Joliet Central high school (ick), past center field is a parking lot, and a fire station can be seen outside left field.  The overall landscape was that of a concrete jungle and I was not impressed. Ecolab is one of the Slammers' major sponsors (there's a large ad under the scoreboard, on the outfield wall, and on the back of their printed schedule), so I was stunned to see that the soap dispensers in the bathroom were....not ours!  Excuse me??  How dare you cheat on us!  "Uhhh honey, I can explain, you see, I still love you but uh, the other guys offered me a better deal on wholesale pricing!"   * TL;DR * It's not the major leagues (or even the minors), but at the end of the day you're still seeing a pro baseball game, and that's cool. Duly Health & Care Field is very modest in its capacity and amenities.  It's a smaller park with smaller-scale operations, so adjust your expectations accordingly (for comparison, the Kane County Cougars play in Geneva, IL at a venue that seats 11K people, nearly twice that of here). Food service was adequate and staff were relatively friendly, however the aesthetics leave a lot to be desired.  This is a perfectly serviceable ballpark, nothing more.

    This is such a unique and small stadium!…read more Parking is free if you choose the right lot. This stadium technically doesn't have its own parking lot. However all of the parking meters are free after 5pm. There is also a large lot next to the train station that is free after 5pm. The sign will say "$8". However in fine print it will say that it's only that price until 5pm. This stadium is a beautiful and small stadium. Every seat has a great view! We did notice that for most of the game the first baseline was in the sun. So if you're looking for shade pick a seat on the 3rd base side. For most of the game it was sunny due to the game starting at 6pm. Definitely check their instagram before arriving. They will sometimes post special deals for the game. When I went they had $2 hot dogs. This stadium has a very small gift shop but truly has so many wonderful things in it. Overall such a great experience and amazing stadium!

    Route 66 Raceway - the good and the bad. One man's perspective. First time here and I had high…read morehopes. First, it's a nice track. Plenty of seating, although for some reason many sections were empty/closed off to fans. Lots of food and beverage here, but my gripes are no cash, only cards. Not a fan. As for beer choices, it's all light beer. Mass produced Bud products, which I would rather drink tepid pond water. Parking - unless you arrive very early on a Nationals weekend, you'll be parking far away and walking a long distance. Even handicapped. No shuttles to be found anywhere. Food prices are a little high for burgers, sausages, etc. but what isn't nowadays. (Example $12 for a footlong corn dog. $15 for a ten inch Italian sausage. $8 for beers) As I said earlier, lots of walking. We parked on one side of the track and our seats were on the other side; meaning a long walk all the way around the track. One nice thing is you can walk all thru the pits and meet drivers and crew. Take pictures, etc. Oh, one more gripe was I could not reach anyone at the track via phone or email to ask questions. An 800 number directed me e to be a NASCAR ticket service. They gave me another 800 number which referred me back to the other number. My email I sent was never answered. All in all, not a completely bad experience, but it could be much better. Bring hats and sunscreen! You can park and tailgate if you wish.

    Went to our first Windy City Bulls game and I was not sure what to expect. We decided to go since…read moreit was Filipino Heritage Night. The Windy City Bulls wore Philippine themed jerseys which was pretty cool. Throughout the night they celebrated or talked about the Philippines and the history. They opened with the Philippine National Anthem followed by the United States National Anthem. For the first 2,000 fans, they gave away a toy Jeepney and if you wanted a special hat, you had to purchase it with the admission ticket. The game was entertaining and the Bulls won! What I really loved about it was it was very kid friendly and all the kids loved it. The were really involved and were into the game! The big screen and score was not over the court like most arenas, but it was off to the side. The benefit of that was the screen was bigger than the normal over the court screen. Overall, I really liked the arena, the game and the way they made it kid focused. What a great way to get the younger kids to love Bulls basketball. Parking was free and it took sometime to get out but once you got past the main lot entry, it was smooth sailing (unless you were trying to get to the 90 Interstate. I would go to another game for sure! I highly recommend going if you have little ones that loves basketball.

I'd always passed the place hopping off of the skyway from Chicago but always thought it looked like a creepy, empty place that could be the scene for a scary movie. The place actually is bigger and nicer on the inside than I thought. Held our graduation well and there was more than enough room for friends and family. Parking was a bit of a hassle but with an event like graduation, what's to be expected? We got ushered out of there quickly when it ended. They didn't want the rift raft tearing down the last recognizable building in the city. *shrug*

    It is one of two places in Gary to see a show (West Side HS would be #2). However, I've been to…read moremany shows here with positive experiences. All the big names/concert come here when visiting Gary. The city host their large events here, like MLK, Jr day. Overall the shows here are good quality for the city and the surrounding areas. However, I have also seen the Genesis Center used for major shows, such as the Ms. USA pageants that Trump brought to the city in the early 00's, which was top quality. So the Genesis Center can do really great shows, as the place has been kept up mainly due to the use of the Steelcats team. Yes, you are coming to Gary, IN for entertainment. However, it does not mean that you will miss out on receiving a top ranked experience due to the location. The Genesis Center is more than able to provide a quality show.

    Does this building have its age? Yes. Does it take away from the overall experience? Not for me. I…read moreagree with others here that it is nice to have a venue like this outside the city that still has a lot of top acts and shows to see. I have attended many different events here throughout my life. Chicago Wolves games, Walking With Dinosaurs, Monster Jam, Trans-Siberian Orchestra and WWE Smackdown. I do agree that the place could use some upgrades, but it still gets the job done. Concessions are bit overpriced, but not the worst quality in my opinion. The dogs and pizzas are good, and the cotton candy can't be missed. Popcorn is okay. The staff are usually nice, but the ushers can sometimes be a 50/50 shot between super sweet and a grump. Lots of good memories here, and hoping for more soon.

It was Connie's Pizza and the slice was lukewarm So bad that the cheese hardened and cracked across the middle. $10.00 a slice !!! Next time I'll just wait and go to Connie's in Chinatown, where it's Hot and Fresh The girl ( section 112 - 114 ) gave me the slice and looked at me , I gave her the look back and was like ok whatever. There were better slices available and I didn't want to be that person but now I'm understanding some of why people do what they do. Did you really have to give me The F Up slice ? You have your reason and now your getting this review. Buddy at the register had to be reminded about my water. These people don't want to work and hate their jobs ( ^ x ^ )
