    Minor League Baseball…read more Home of fried food, cheap tickets, a racing pork roll mascot and, oh by the way, there is actual baseball going on too. I love this stuff because it's an experience. The promos, the seating choices and every now and then you actually see some good play on the field as well. Each team is a slightly different variation from the next. Our experience here was fairly basic but overall nothing surprised me. We came for a Wednesday game in mid-June and even though all of the premium seating down front was "sold out" (i.e. it's sold to season ticket holders that are rarely there so most nights the seats while sold, go empty) the overall physical attendance was maybe 2000 tops. 101-103 was completely empty the same as 113-115. The place was dead. For a backup plan I chose the firepit seating. Some good and bad here. The good is that even though you are way the heck out past the LF wall, the sightline isn't bad. Regarding the fire pit seats - I. A few of the fire pits didn't work and couldn't be lit or in the case of ours (#5) it took the better part of the top of the 1st for it to finally get going which was good since it was cool and breezy out. II. In principle you don't need tickets for these seats to sit at them. A few of the fire pits went unsold yet magically people were sitting at them all night. Yes, the staff won't light them but they also won't stop you from sitting at them. It really defeats the whole point. I guests next time here if I see an unused seat right behind the plate I'm moving in for the kill. The food we experienced was total trash. Cooked in the fires of hell overdone chicken finger baskets that had various amounts of fries meaning some of the orders had a lot and some barely had any. Total ripoff. What works here are the obvious things. Ticket prices are reasonable, the parking charge is in line with what you pay at most minor league parks and the stadium is small enough that all seats are good seats. Locationally it's also an easy on/off the NJT. Oh right, the baseball. Well, you get what you get for High A ball. A few throwing errors, two pop-ups that were dropped and more of what is killing the sport as a whole with a combined K total for both teams of 20+. All in all it was a good time and a good experience. Was it my favorite minor league park? Not by a longshot but it's good enough and I assume we'll be back in the future.

    Went to a game the other night - American Legion Day! Our seats were excellent and the weather…read moreactually cooled off a little bit as the game progressed. The game started with a parade of Legion Riders on their motorcycles - impressive. The experience did not disappoint as we were to experience the normal entertainment on and around the field - there was even a game! The Blue Claws lost, however, even though we were able to witness three individual home runs. It was a special night, for sure, as the Blue Claws welcomed their 8,000,000th spectator! I was spectator # 7,900, 949! An overall good experience and an opportunity for families to see some young men playing their hearts out for their chance at a brass ring. Prices are definitely affordable.

    We saw Earth, Wind and Fire at multiple venues, the band had the Mark G Etess Arena rockin' a few…read moreweeks ago! More importantly, who is Mark G Etess?? When this venue was the Trump Taj Mahal, Mr Etess was returning by helicopter to Atlantic City. The helicopter suffered a mechanical failure, leading into a crash killing three executives. The Trump Taj Mahal arena was named in Etess' memory. 2025, this venue is now inside the Hard Rock Casino. There is a bridge from Resorts Casino connecting to Hard Rock Casino, we didn't have to walk the boardwalk at night in January. After we had dinner, we walked inside to the venue. Once inside and the band came on stage, everything seemed magical. The huge screen behind the stage were showing clips of the band starting from the 70's and then every decade up to today. The acoustics in the venue were also very good. They had the area filled with sound from all angles. Our seats had a nice vantage point. We were facing the stage, in the bleacher section. The floor seats seemed like you weren't able to see the band and video screens very well. If you need to come to the hotel to park and you're a *Veteran* get the players card for the hotel and you'll get free parking! When we saw Yacht Rock Review last summer at the theatre, the venue removed all the middle seats?! Those folks were rockin' for two straight hours! To me, I'm from Long Island and the Jones Beach Theatre is the best place to see a concert. The Mark G Etess Arena is a great venue to see any event while in Atlantic City.

    Entry and navigating to our seats was easy. Staff was great. Views seemed to be good from every…read moresection. Sound could be a bit better but we enjoyed the show. The area around the venue inside Hard Rock casino itself was also clean, didn't smell of smoke and was easily accessible to a variety of dining options and clean bathrooms.

    Two stars is the best I can do and that's being generous in my opinion, which is what reviews are…read moreall about - speaking openly. The fields are in good condition, period. The bathrooms are a disgusting mess. Often no soap is available and the place is dirty and unkempt. WHEN THERE IS NO SOAP AVAILABLE FOR SIX HOURS, IT MAKES YOU WONDER HOW THE FOOD HANDLERS WASH THEIR HAND PROPERLY. The refreshment stand was made aware of the lack of soap and yet there was no action taken to fill the dispensers. The food prices are extremely high and the food is nothing to brag about. We come here often for baseball games and it's close to our house, but I'd rather travel further to go and watch games at decent facilities. To charge an entrance fee for the above? Tsk Tsk to whomever runs this place.

    We have played and ate here more times than I can count. The quality of the facility does not…read morejustify the entrance fees and badgering at the gate. The concept here is cool, and it has gotten slightly better over the years, but they never finished the place, the walkways are a mess and theres not enough nets. (I've been involved in softball 10+ years with two daughters so we've played everywhere, and the foul balls here are the worst) Plus they have a bunch of kids basically running things and they aren't very well trained. Speeding around in golf carts and doing a half butt job. Food is OK, a little pricey but again, its kids taking orders and serving and cooking and they need more training. Egg sandwiches always have shells in them, burgers are so-so, and i'm not sure they change the cooking oil enough. Plus lots of flies. It's just not a welcoming atmosphere. The bag checks and strip searches (exaggerating a little) and not being able to even bring my own coffee just makes me hate coming here. And for heavens sake how about some scoreboards? $10 entry fee and $8 eggshell sandwich and you cant hang scoreboards? I am more than happy to go to a dirt/grass field and watch for free with my own food and drinks.

    When it comes to ballparks, Yankees stadium is beautiful. Is it better than Camden Yards...NO!! But…read moreI'm from Baltimore so I might be a little bias lol. To be honest I was there for a game. I was here for Jay Z!! The park has a few great food vendors and actually reasonably priced meal deals. The price and quality of the food was probably the most pleasant surprise. If you're a baseball fan I think it's a ballpark that's a must visit.

    As a lifelong Yankee fan waiting YEARS to see the new digs, I was shocked and appalled how hard it…read morewas to literally just *gain entry* to the stadium. this is a multibillion-dollar organization and they can't figure out how to move fans through? just appalling really. nobody knew which gate we should go to despite having higher-tier seats. once finally inside, the place markings were a joke--"guest services" was a rando area that was NOT MARKED BY ANY SIGNS. guys, you need to do better with all of this. the food was okay and of course pricey, and some of the folks were nice enough. but everything was overpriced and, for example, we had to decide if waiting on a huge line to see Monument Park was worth it. we decided it wasn't, despite paying top dollar for it. we were in the upper deck and had a great view of the game, but for real. with all the cash sloshing around that place you'd think they would figure things out better. come on. my Yanks clobbered the White Sox, but parts of our experience were far less fun.
