Baseball diamond, that is.
The Arkansas Naturals, the Kansas City Royals' AA affiliate, play right here in our backyard at Arvest Ballpark. You can't beat minor league ball: $10 tickets, $3 parking, and $1 cokes on opening night. The young men play with energy and enthusiasm, the mascots happily take picture after picture, and the mid-inning entertainment is non-stop.

Fleece jackets, fleece mittens, and fleece headgear don't normally signal opening day, but it's been a cold spring so far. At least it wasn't raining.
We only made it through a few innings - it is a school night, after all - but the Naturals are just another great thing about living in NW Arkansas.
wow! our ticket prices are a bit higher.....for seats, parking and sodas! (parking is $10) must be because we get the AAA boys??? but you are right.....what a wonderful way to pass an evening!
ReplyDeleteYou know what's funny, I'm not sure what the actual ticket prices are... there's a local Living Social type company called NWA Deal Piggy and I always buy the half price tickets when they have them! They did the opening day ticket deal right before Christmas, so it was a perfect gift for the hubs. I think they do different $1 concessions for different days of the week... last night was $1 cokes, $1 peanuts, and $1 mozzarella sticks. Yum!!
