Springfield Cardinals

Reviewed By ozarksguy573 - Pawleys Island, United States

The Springfield Cardinals AA Minor League team playing at Hammond's Field is a fantastic place to have fun while watching a baseball game. Lots of entertainment between innings to keep children interested and having fun. Food vendors have a variety of offerings to please most anyone. The parking is convenient and access is good. We participated in a special ticket promotion last season and was able to get all Friday night games that had fireworks displays after the game. Wow, this was entertaining for the grandkids! If you are a baseball fan, you get to see a quality product, often consisting of some major leaguers who are rehabilitating and others who will get called up to the St. Louis or Memphis teams before the season is over. Being a fan, it is great to see the future major leaguers.

I attended the KC Art Institute in late 60's so am a very avid Chiefs fan, visiting Arrowhead on many occasions. Some Good, some Bad, some Happy, some Sad....I was a student when we won Super Bowl #4, which tells you how old I am and how loyal...No bad seats in Arrowhead, some just better than others. Last game attended was the Chiefs/49'ers this year..Great game, great seats [10 rows up in the end zone]. We won! Every experience at Arrowhead has been a special one. Best seats ever...50 yard line, 4 rows up right behind the Chargers bench...and JR, Seau was amazing...We won!...Joe Montana and Marcas Allen came to the Chiefs and really made it magic. I'll give up Hunting, Fishing and Golf for a trip to Arrowhead. And that's giving up a lot.....Go Chiefs!

The Missouri Mavericks, members of the ECHL and Kansas City's only pro hockey club. Also the Missouri Comets, members of the Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) and Kansas City's only pro indoor soccer club. Artists such as Ariana Grande, Bruno Mars, Kelly Clarkson, Alan Jackson, Chris Tomlin, Zac Brown Band, The Band Perry, Hillsong, The Fray, Chris Young, Lee Brice and many more have performed at the IEC! Located right next to the arena is the Centerpoint Community Ice Rink.

We attended a Mavericks hockey game over the weekend. The venue is clean and easy to find your way around. The staff was very helpful and friendly. There are family restrooms near every main restroom which is helpful when attending an event with small children. I would recommend this venue. The parking was free and very easy to get in and out of as well.
