We went with two other families and their children, so it was 6 adults and 6 kids (3 5-year olds and 3 3-year olds). The best part? It didn't entail trekking into Boston, fighting the crowds, paying an obscene amount for parking, and promising a firstborn child for the opportunity to secure coveted Sox tickets, and THEN being bent over for the outrageous price of said tickets!
[Do I sound bitter? You betcha. It's so frustrating that Hubby has been unable to take Eldest (forget about a family trip!) to a game at Fenway this year for those very reasons. Because we need to pay the mortgage each month... ]
So, a day at McCoy Stadium:
Parking: $2.00
Tickets: $10 each
Enjoying time spent with friends at the ballpark while your children actually behave through
And aside from the annoying group who sat behind us and proceeded to eat their faces off (did I mention the cheap food?) and then spilled the remainders (soda, popsicles, ice cream) so that the melty/sticky/wet debris ended up underneath our seats...it really was a picture perfect (and cheap!) day!
I'm all about the wine!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a great (and relatively inexpensive) time.
ReplyDeleteI went to Fenway a few weeks ago - my friend won tickets from Jerry Remy. So, we got in for nothing, but holy cow. $8 for a beer, $15 to park my car. I couldn't get anything to eat because I couldn't afford it. It was nuts.
Sounds like you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteWe took the girls to a Defenders game last year. They didn't care who was playing - they just had fun being there.
I love going to PawSox games. Fun and cheap - what's not to love?
ReplyDeleteIf any of you have the chance, and are ever in that area, I have to recommend going to a Durham Bulls game. I really enjoy the PawSox but the experience I had at the Durham game was amazing.
sounds heavenly. I know this is crazy, but I've never been to Pawtucket. Must go now!
ReplyDeleteGoing to McCoy Stadium is a real treat. It's good, clean, INEXPENSIVE fun! And who knows, you just may be seeing the next Manny or Big Papi playing right in front of you!
