Guide

Good to know

Arrive early for events
Getting there early is critical for securing a decent viewing spot on the grass hills, especially for concerts or games.
Bring something to sit on
The turf-covered concrete hills are hard and slippery, so bring a blanket, chair, or cushion for comfort.
Great for active kids
The open grass areas and baseball-themed playground are well-maintained spaces where children can run around freely.
Expect high food prices
Food and beverage options are limited and expensive, so consider eating before you arrive.
Check bag size policy carefully
Security enforces strict bag dimensions (roughly 5x7 inches); bags slightly oversized or non-rectangular have been rejected.
