Sloan Park has got to be one of the nicest ballparks I've ever ever been to. This is the Cubs spring training facility. Parking is a little confusing and a lot of the streets are down to one lane there's a lot of traffic during game days. There are ways to spend $10 for parking, but you do have to drive down past the hotel complex, you will park in the grass but it's very organized and you could only pay by credit card. There are parking lots for $25 across the street but it's not worth it in my opinion for $25 because it's not a long walk from the $10 lot either.
Facility wise. This is a extremely upgraded and clean park. There's plenty of lawn seating. It's very comfortable and green. There are so many food places here that you can go. Crazy eating all day. So definitely come hungry. I don't know if this is something they do All the time but there were about 6 to 7 food trucks around the perimeter of the lawn seats so you don't have to eat the expensive hotdogs you can have some unique food and save a little bit of cash too, and have a great time doing it. I did try the Birria tacos which were amazing and they were $12.99 for three of them. Highly recommended.
As far as the fan shops, there's about three or four of them. There's one very large one and there will be a line to get inside. But definitely go shop for what you need first because the sizes run out really quick. They usually end up with a lot of smaller mediums by the end of the day.
As far as the seats go, their standard, ballpark, stadium seats, but every seat has a great view no matter what. It's so close to the field. It makes you feel like you're in the game. And I love the fact that the players don't look like ants on the field. They look like actual people looking right at you. You can check out their face and feet features and looks like they're standing next to you because it's so close to the players.
I think the staff here were super friendly everywhere from security, to the ticketing agents, to the concessions, to the store, employees, to even those that were selling the 50-50 raffle tickets. read more
