Dwyer stadium is in the same spot, but it had dramatically changed as a result of major renovations. I still recognized the basic structure, but it no longer has wooden grand stands.

Knowing there had also been rumors early on in 2016 about the Muckdogs being sold/moved, I figured this year would be an opportune time to get to a Muckdogs game. There's no page available for Dwyer Stadium itself, so this review encompasses the overall experience. In terms of getting to the stadium and everything, I used my GPS (since I don't really know my way around Batavia) and found the stadium easily. Parking is free and readily accessible on stadium grounds. The staff is friendly and organized, and my Will Call tickets were readily available for pick-up. The stadium itself is typical for a short-season A team, and I think I showed up for the last game of the season (Labor Day). The fact that it was the last game of the season did mean that the concession area was out of the more popular food options (including sausage sandwiches, etc), so one had to stick to the basics... but plenty of people (comparatively speaking) showed up to enjoy the game. With ticket and concession prices being so inexpensive, it's not a bad way to spend a day. When it comes to the overall experience during the game, I suppose the stadium is missing any added "oompf." The mascot, for example, was out maybe... once during the game? Walking in front of the crowd/in the stadium; however, there was no participation by the mascot, including in the between-inning games with kids from the crowd (something that's fairly normal). The games too were pretty simple, and even the staff members assisting seemed to lack some enthusiasm. The game played was enjoyable though, and it's great to see such young players and their passion for the game. In a stadium like this, I suppose it's more about getting up close to the players... and while I didn't try and get anyone's autograph this time around, it would seem the stadium layout makes it fairly simple to get to players at some point. TL;DR Very local feel. Am glad I went in 2016 so that I could check it off the "to visit" list, but it feels lacking in comparison to other stadiums I've visited, including those for other short season/single A clubs.

The only hang up is that everyone who goes makes the same painting, so if you go as a date night, you wind up with two of a kind (obviously a little different).

I couldn't say no to participating since I've seen too many lived ones suffer through breast cancer and treatment. Plus I love being artsy so it was a PERFECT combination of doing good and having fun! There were 12 ladies in the class with all different levels of creativity running through their veins. Our painting was of a vase with flowers in it. I completely took a different (color and style) direction than that of the original painting and was pleased with my results. That's the fun thing about art- do what moves you! The art space itself is decent, comfortable for a group of 12 and I'm sure potentially a few more. But do note that you have to walk up a flight of stairs to get into the painting area. If you're handicapped or unable to walk up stairs, this space is less than ideal. I'm glad I unlocked my art talent once again. It's bee tooooooo long! I'm going to have to hit up an art store for supplies soon so I can make more creations at home. Very inspiring!

Deciding to attend the kid's fishing derby wound up being quite the catch (wink). The pond was…read morestocked with walleye, and normally contains bass, blue gills, koi fish, etc. The rules were that the biggest fish caught by a kid wins the tournament. With the biggest fish caught (twice) being an 18" large mouth bass, needless to say those kids did not flounder (wink). If a fun, free day of fishing with your kids or grandkids isn't enticing enough, the Club also cooked up hot dogs, french fries and hamburgers, gave every kid a very generous door prize and awarded 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishers trophies. Not too bad for free, and these conditions will bring me back next year, hook, line and sinker (wink). No good fishing expedition could be that good without embellished fishing stories to boot, and my son got his first lesson here. Not only did he catch his first fish solo here years ago, but now he can claim the fame of the only kid to catch a 14.5 ft. Hammerhead Shark. Well, no, but when he really wanted to win the tournament, I told the judges he caught that fish and then winked at him with a smile. The judges had a good laugh, but later my son said to me, "Dad, do you think they believed you about me catching a shark". They don't have to, kid, every fisherman tells tall tales. Like the fish they pretend to catch, fisherman too often fall for the bait (wink).
