This was our second visit to the Peoria ballpark, with seven years in between. They have made many great improvements to the park. The fan experience is still excellent. The food prices and variety are really good at this park. They have outside vendors all through the park, especially behind the lawn seats in the outfield. They have a great craft beer selection in several places in the park. Their dedication to bringing in outside vendors kept the prices considerably lower than in other parks and the variety is wonderful. The only warning I would give fans is that there is very little shade at this park even in the seats. Overall, because all of the cactus league teams travel around, if you want a great experience come watch your team in Peoria.
