Even worse, I paid for songs on the jukebox and staff paused the music and turned the volume so low you couldn't hear it. If you're charging people to play music, at least let it be heard. The place has potential, but the attitude toward customers makes it hard to recommend.

Visiting Falcon Park to see the Auburn Doubledays was a nice addition to my growing list of ballgame experiences. I ordered my ticket for a game before the start of the season (I like to plan my visits in advance). It took some fidgeting, as well as contacting the Doubledays staff person in charge of the ticketing website (credit card authentication issues), but I managed to purchase my ticket and have it held at Will Call. Upon arriving at the park for my game, I visited the ticket window and picked up my ticket without issue. Easy enough. Sidenote: parking is free and located across the street from the park - unless you're a season ticket holder. There's no signage either way, so I didn't realize this until after driving into the premium parking lot and inquiring. It was hot, so I was hoping to find some shade; alas, I ended up in the general lot without any trees to help stay cool. Haha. I got into the park and happened upon Abner, the Doubledays mascot. I picked up a program and headed to the souvenir stand to get my MiLB Ballpark Pass-Port stamp, but it turns out that they keep the stamp/ink pad at a table with a green Tompkins Trust Company covering. The guy tending the table had a big plastic tub with all sorts of random, disorganized papers, booklets, and whatnot. He kept digging and found the stamp... then had to go on a wider hunt for the ink pad. I didn't want to be an inconvenience, but it all felt a bit disorganized. He ended up finding the ink pad after a few minutes, so I got my stamp... but it took a bit. After grabbing something from the concession building, I checked out my seats... and I was directly in the sun. On a 90 degree day. Oops. I took some time and enjoyed my lunch under the tented area near where the Doubledays were warming up. After a bit, I noticed a kid was calling out after players to get autographs, and I thought it'd be humorous to kinda approach the fence and get signatures from some players at the same time. It did end up working fairly well, admittedly. Once the game was about to start, I noticed there were plenty of open spaces in the general admission area - i.e. where seating was covered. Since it was a day game, and I figured there wouldn't be a huge number of people filing into the park after the start of the game, I found myself a seat with a decent view (i.e. no metal building frame in the way) and enjoyed the shade while watching the game. The staff at the game didn't seem to take issue with any of us seeking cover from the sun and heat, and I think they even offered a visiting group of school kids the opportunity to move into the covered seating. All in all, the staff was generally helpful... if a bit disorganized in parts. The stadium is what you would expect for a short-season, Class A, minor league club. No frills, but a comfortable/local feel. There's a lot of netting in front of the seats, including over both dugouts - hinders the view a bit, unfortunately.

This ballpark offers up a great community feel, everyone seems to know each other and if you don't- the stadium is small enough that you'll probably go home having made a few new friends. Other fun facts: - on select nights you can find yourself $1 beers and/or hot dogs - select innings you may also find $1 fries or cotton candy! - the rest of the food is pretty standard ballpark food: burgers, fries, popcorn, slushies, sausages etc. - goofy games & such between innings. - Fireworks! - Kids run the bases! - Ball Player autographs before every game. - Abner the mascot! - Parking is FREE in the lot across the street from the entrance.

My usual routine is to go right at opening and beat the larger crowds, but this year I went in the evening on Saturday. Some streets had WAAYYYY more congestion than others and it was hard to move -- made even more difficult by the occasional person who had obviously been visiting the beer tent and had trouble walking straight. That aside, most lines moved pretty quickly, and was still able to get like 7-10 samples in the hour or so I was there. Standouts for me this year were the mango cheesecake loompya at Oompa Loompyas and the crab rangoon at Vietnamese Noodle House, but there were lots of tasty things. This festival is always a great way to check out brand new businesses making their debut in the CNY food scene, along with hitting up an old favorite or two.

Chen bringing in authentic chinese street food was also a huge hit for my group, as we are all foodies loving to try other cultural foods. We got the grilled squid on a stick and were very happy about that. Always get there early, to keep lines smaller.

First of all there wasn't any music, some girl would occasionally buy a crappy song on a juke box, hurting and eventually killing our ears. Next the oil pattern was god awful, I don't know if it was just our lane, but trying to hook the ball was a genuine nightmare. I also should also mention that the interface was acting a little special, multiple times, the pins would randomly drop down, I'd say I'd have to reset the pins every other frame. The smell, the alley smelled like absolute crap, it smelled like a school cafeteria, and the food looked like complete slop. Lastly the line, there was only 3 people ahead of us in the line, but somehow it took 20 minutes to pay for our bowling. The shoes that I was offered looked like it was from the lost and found with multiple holes, torn up laces, and shredded insoles, they were Al's tied together extremely tight. Balls, one of the balls here initially looked fine, but when inspected had a hole covered up by a damn band aid. But hey if you still want to go, buy one of their overpriced crappy deep fried hot dogs, they sure do love those.
