First time coming to lower level ball park to watch a game. And by lower I just mean not the MLB or…read morethe big leagues. I'm not big on baseball so I'm not sure technically what you'd call them. D league? G league? The Minors? In any case it's my first time at a ball park of that level. It's pretty small compared to the MLB ones I've been to. But that's to be expected. Keeping that in mind, they still had a fair number of food stalls open considering how not packed it was. They had everything from dogs, nacho and tacos to the usual pizza and beer. They had a cute little team shop at one end of the park as well. I can't believe the prices at the team shop though. They were comparable to that of the MLB teams. That was just wild to me. But maybe they don't control the pricing and it's more of a supplier issue? Anyways I liked that that had a bunch of fun little activities and stuff in between innings like races and such. Safety seems to be good priority for them as well. When a foul ball came over into our section someone immediately came over to make sure no one got hit or was hurt. That was definitely a nice touch. One down side was that it was pickleball paddle giveaway night and from what we could tell it didn't look like 1000 people had shown up before us but somehow they ran out. There were supposed to be 1000 from what we were told. Not a huge deal just kind of disappointed for my friend who really wanted one. So this is a benefit of the doubt kind of review as I haven't been to other ball parks of this level for a game. Maybe others are better and some are worse. But to me this wasn't a bad park at all. Maybe didn't blow my mind sure but it defied wasn't bad by my standing.

I spent a recent spring Sunday afternoon at the Banner Island ball park watching the minor league…read moreteam Stockton Ports. They are affiliated with the Oakland As. The weather was great, the stadium is modern, staff was helpful, and the vibe and crowd is family friendly. Just a classic day at the ball park. Memory making day. The Ports had a winning day against the Rancho Cucamonga (RC) Quakes. The RC Quakes are affiliated with the Los Angeles Dodgers. To think that these players may one day play in the Majors, that is pretty cool. Actually there have been many Ports ball players that moved on into the MLB. There is a stadium wall listing the players that achieved that feat. The ball park was built in 2005. Modern design, beautiful minor ball park. It is next to the arena (where the Stockton Kings basketball team plays), the marina is right next to both. The ball park seats 5,000. There are box suites and a connected VIP bar seating that is not open to the general public. All but two concessions closed by the top of the 5th inning. But those two followed suit by bottom of the 7th. The good BBQ was in the VIP section, and that section is locked down. The burgers, dogs, and pretzels at the concession tasted like Costco food court. The stadium is cashless. Tickets range $8- 22 with weekend pricing starting at $16. Parking is $10-15. There is a multistory parking lot between the two stadiums. In addition there were two additional lots, those were surface lots. The mascot, Splash, was present and super eager to take photos with everyone and anyone. He might photobomb your shot. I learned on Sundays, the Ports home game celebrate the Copa de La Diversion identity and they transform into the Stockton Cheladas. What does that mean? They wear a different uniform and colors in partnership with major league soccer to celebrate and connect teams to the local Latino/Hispanic communities. Did you know Stockton is one of the most racially and ethnically diverse large city in the U.S.? It is! 45% of its population identify as Latino.

Stockton has been my home for live hockey for a long time now. They are home to a minor league…read morehockey team currently known as the Stockton Heat Hockey Club, although I remember them often as the Stockton Thunder. They play their games at the Stockton Arena in downtown with a large parking garage attached to the arena for easy access. This place is just fun. I am a hockey fan, so I enjoy the action on the ice. You can get really close to the action at a fairly low price here, although I prefer sitting a bit higher to see the whole rink. Tickets are fairly reasonable here, especially if you get packages. I can often walk up to the window right before a game and get good seats. Fan experiences here are really great. They have many theme nights including the famous Teddy Bear Toss and other fun promotions. The place is family friendly with lots of children in attendance and a good atmosphere, although fights on the ice are common and encouraged by the fans. Concessions can get a little pricy though. The Stockton Heat manage to create a great product year after year independent of the team's ability. I have seen them in bad years and in good, and minor league teams always suffer since the good players move up fast. Fortunately, I nearly always have a great time, and even a loss is somehow a win.

I live closer to San Jose and should be a Barracuda fan, but I've already become attached to this team! This is fantastic hockey at a fantastic price. If I lived closer to Stockton I'd get season tickets. Every fan, vendor, player, and arena staff that I've met is friendly and interested in the team and the sport. These guys are moving up and down from the NHL, so this is legit hockey. There's so much talent and so many opportunities to see some of the great hockey players of today and tomorrow. There are lots of activities throughout the season, and lots of player interaction with the fans! P.S. try the hot chocolate at the stand by aisle E

I felt like this would have been a total waste of time and money, but I got a deal from groupon or…read moresomething so it took the sting out of it. It was a nice early morning drive out to Stockton from the city, flocks of birds in the grass along the highway and other nice scenery. It was nice to smell the fumes on the small small (tiny) track. No driving skills to be leaned. In fact, the only thing they teach you is race track etiquette (but only as much as you need so that you can change position on the tiny track they have). I was hoping to be amazed my something besides some beat up old race cars. I swear the coolest thing about it was getting dressed in a race suit and crawling in the window of the beater car and then having the steering wheel put on after I was strapped in. Some thing I could do halfway in my own car if I welded my door shut. In fact, I wish I could have put my own car on the track out there. The one other cool thing, the track as small as it was did have a nicely banked turns. It was almost worth it just see how hard you could throw the car into the corner and push it harder and harder, unfortunately the time on the track is so short that once you start to get a feel for it, it's over. The extra insurance matter? If you are a crappy driver in real life it's worth it. The entrance to the track is narrow and I could see someone scrapping the edge. I could see it happening to someone who has crashed their own car in the real world, otherwise it's a rip off, just like the rest of it. Side note - Everyone who works here is very nice.

My BF and I went on a Groupon Voucher on a VERY hot (90 degrees), Saturday. Our appt was for noon…read morebut the letter informed us to arrive about 30 mins early. We checked in at a trailer, signed some forms and then was asked about whether or not we wanted to purchase insurance for $70. The other Yelper (Hung T.) mentioned that during his experience the staff mentioned wreaks and they mentioned it to us too. (His account of the whole process is pretty accurate and it helped me figure out what was happening.) Out of sheer fear of having to shell out a bunch of money, we both purchased the insurance. OK, disclaimer: we totally did NOT need to purchase the insurance, BUT for your own piece of mind, do what you want. The track is very small, like a high school football field. You really can not go as fast as they state in their ads. I think my bf's top speed never reached 80 and he's a speed freak too. I, on the other hand kept a pretty safe pace and I'll explain why later. There was one more guy on the track and the max is three cars plus the pace van in the beginning. The main problem I had with my experience was their lack of height guidelines. I'm short, 5'2 and 108 lbs. They didn't have anything that fit me. My fire suit was too big, my helmet was too big, the car was too big and they had to shove a bunch of fire suits, under me, and behind me. They even brought over two seat doughnuts too! With the helmet on your head and the safety bars, it was hard to see. Then add the fact that I'm tiny and I may as well drove with my eyes shut. It was near impossible for me to reach the pedals and put the car into gear. It was even harder to stop completely. Since I couldn't get my pedal to the metal, I ended up stalling the car when we finished our laps in order to not hit the parked car in front of me. SCARY! My bf who had the opposite problem, being 6'4 and almost 200lbs, felt that the cars were a bit small. At least he was able to reach his pedals! haha For the discounted price it was worth it. I had fun and I can say I drove a real Nascar race car. But, I think we had higher expectations going in. The Nascar race cars are old and probably from the early 90's. The staff is really nice and that's why I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 3.

My travel companions are national park people first but baseball aficionados second and they're on a quest to visit as many ballparks as possible. I happily tagged along for this Single-A game, and to my surprise, I absolutely loved it!!! This ballpark is tiny and cute with a cozy feel that makes you feel close to the action no matter where you sit. We even found free street parking just steps away which I would consider a small miracle compared to bigger stadiums. Since we arrived early, one of my friends and I ended up participating in not one but two of the in-between-innings promos and competitions. Did I want to be on the Jumbotron? Not exactly... but when in Stockton, right? I even won a trivia contest and walked away with an adorable little bear which I brought home to give to my friend's son. To top it off, one of my friends got me a baseball for my travel collection and he also gave me the t-shirt he got after winning a blackjack promo, beating the dealer. It was all so fun and silly in the best way. This is definitely a small-town baseball magic that made the whole experience memorable. I think the Ports ended up losing, but oh well! Between the friendly crowd, the quirky promos, and the charm of such a small, intimate ballpark, it was a delightful day. I'm genuinely glad I went and I'd happily come back for another game here!

Soul Food Festival- Location Weber point in Stockton, CA…read more So this was the 8 th annual Soul Food Festival in Stockton, Ca. It's on August 1st of every year. This was the first time I ever heard of the event. I came here with my Grandpa and our friend to check things out. The admission was free and the parking was free since it was on a Sunday. Inside there was all kinds of booths with different types of soul food. We decided to try out some Jamaican food from Delroys. I had this chicken called jerk chicken with rice, beans and a salad. The jerk chicken was really good, whatever spice they use. It hit the spot and the Jamaican rice was bomb as well. The beans were like a pork n beans and the salad was pretty much a house salad. My Grandpa had a tri tip sandwich and he enjoyed the Sammy. Our friend ribs, greens, Jamaican rice and beans. From what our buddy said "the ribs are really good". There was some booths that sold clothes and some had where you can get your hair did. There was live entertainment and it was under a big tent. So you wouldn't be in the sun. Also the water fountain was on for the kids to have fun in the sun. So yeah, I had a great time. We'll definitely be back next year on August 1st. Hope to see you there. Sincerely VD taking yelp into a different direction.
