Use of the park facilities can be requested from the Allentown Parks Department.

I am pretty obsessive when it comes to visiting a venue like this for the first time. And it was…read morealmost impossible to find good reviews so I thought I would share in case it helps somebody else. As far as parking, I had a lot of people helping me by telling me that street parking wasn't really hard to find, you just have to get there at a reasonable time if you want to be closer. We actually arrived later than I wanted to, maybe 20 minutes before the event and we still were pretty close. I kept reading about a giant hill that you had to walk up to get to the seats and I didn't understand until I got there. So if you park on a street near the "bottom" entrance of the stadium, when you enter, you climb a steep paved path to get to the higher rows of bleachers. If you're sitting in the first 15 bleachers starting from the field, though, you can simply just walk around the track from where you enter and walk up the steps. If you park in street parking that's at the "top" of the stadium (we chose to park on West Chew St between 22nd-20th) then when you enter and show your tickets, you're in a good position to walk down to the higher bleachers. I am the idiot who parked near the top of the stadium and had to walk 21 rows down (with a knee problem and no rail to hold onto) to our Section E, 9th row seats. The bathrooms are not as bad as I had read, they're near the top and bottom entrances and I didn't find them particularly difficult to get to either from the top of the stadium, or walking along the bottom of the track. We were there for the DCI event and there were also lots of portable bathrooms that were easy to use. I brought a stadium seat that had armrests on it and didn't have any problem using it, but I can see that if you are in a section that is completely packed out and you are in the middle of that section, it might get dicey because it's so crowded. I was on the aisle, and my son was sitting next to me so it was fine. I saw some other people using the same kind of chairs without problems, but again they were not in sections that were completely packed with people. But I will say that, even though our entire section was not packed out, there was a point at which there were people in front of me and behind me plus my son sitting next to me and I was still able to easily use the chair. I was told beforehand that those chairs were not allowed in the stadium, but when I got there, nobody was saying anything to anyone who had them. And speaking of sections, I think next time I will still choose seats in E (or K). They're right next to the premium center sections, but still close enough to center to be well placed and not nearly as crowded. However, I will pick higher row of bleachers (between 20-25) to get an even better view. Although where we sat was perfectly fine as well, and maybe the sound was better? All in all, we had a very positive experience , and look forward to returning.

I have had some unpleasant experiences at the stadium when trying to leave during camp days - i.e. being blocked into my parking spot by a school bus. Not fun, especially when I had to ask the bus driver to move a bit and the woman was REALLY irritated about it. Would definitely help if camp/education days had better organization in the future - at least with regards to parking of the buses/pickup of the kids. Besides that though, I've always found Ironpigs staff to be helpful, for Coca-Cola Park to be clean and enjoyable, and c'mon... how can you not enjoy a team or stadium with so much bacon-y themed goodness around?! (Though they have non-bacon items as well, of course... and the corn available from the "Aw Shucks Roasted Corn" concession is something I still crave!). Besides, there's not really a bad seat in the park. TL;DR Though I'm not a Phillies fan and have no horse in the race when it comes to the Ironpigs playing, Coca-Cola Park is still one of my favorite minor league stadiums so far. Definitely planning to go back, even if it is a 3 1/2-ish hour drive for me (one way).

Once you get to the ball park, you need to go to the ticket booth outside the gates to the far left of the parking lot to exchange your email confirmation for an actual barcoded ticket. You'll get your hot chocolate coupon there, too. I didn't know this at first, so I waited in line at the gate at 6pm, and a ticket taker was nice enough to try to figure it out. He let me in with just the email receipt. Had to go back out front for my coupon so it was all for naught. Once officially inside, I went to get my hot chocolate. They also sold s'mores kits and pastries. It was 32' out so the fire pits where the s'mores were being toasted were busy. There were heaters sprinkled around the stadium but not enough. It was too cold. I made a quick pass through the market area, and bought some freeze dried puffed candy. Took some pics by the decorated sponsored tree section. Went into the closed in Oasis bar while it snowed a bit, then finished the upstairs loop enjoying the lights. I didn't make it down to the field where the train was, but I think I did it.
