Parkview Field



Last Saturday night we went with a big group of our friends and family to Parkview Field to see the Tin Caps play. Jonathan sang the national anthem, which got us all there, but we will definitely go back. It was a blast!

The stadium is beautiful and designed so that when you go to get concessions, or walk around, you can still see what's going on. You don't go into some dark concourse to get a snack. There was lots of other entertainment during the game, keeping the little kids happy. And the baseball itself was really enjoyable.

I love being downtown and I love being able to see downtown from the stadium. After the game two of the boys were hungry--having so much fun that they didn't ask for food at the game--so we went to King Gyros.

I've been to lots of ball games at pretty much every level, but this is the first time in a long time I've been ready to go back soon. It's a great value for good family entertainment. (Cheaper than a movie!) I'm even looking at getting partial season tickets next year.

The boys and Winston.

How did Jonathan get chosen to do this?

Any night spent downtown should always end with King Gyros.

Anna-Thanks. He was having some trouble with his throat that night, and he's going to the doctor today for what looks like either tonsillitis or some other kind of infection. He wasn't quite at full voice.

Susan, they had open tryouts. We found out about them from a friend at church who had heard it announced on the radio. He went and tried out.

Lora--Yes!!!!

Adriane--yes for you young folks. :) I love King Gyros but need to eat it HOURS before bed.
