We went to Coca Cola Park, which is the home of the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs.
They are the Triple A affiliate of the National League Champion Philadelphia Phillies.
In addition, it's the host of the 2010 Triple A All-Star Game which will be played on July 14th.
As for the ballpark itself, it's one of the very best in the minor leagues.
It opened up just 2 years ago.
It's a 2 level venue which makes for a great place for the local people to enjoy some affordable family entertainment.
Saturday night was a perfect example of that.
The game was sold out. They had their largest crowd of the season thus far.
As for the experience, unlike the major leagues here the concession prices are rather reasonable.
It was only $5.50 for a bottle of beer which is a bargain compared to Yankee Stadium where it's $9.00 a pop.
They had an unique stand that sold roasted corn as well.
With that being said, you have added incentive to "pig" out if you decide to go there.
Most importantly, they had a variety of in house promotions which kept the crowd entertained throughout the game.
After the game, the crowd was treated to a fireworks display.
Being from NYC, it was nice to getaway to see how other people in other areas of the country live.
In this case, we only went 100 miles to get a contrasting life style.
If this kind of trip suits your needs and wants or tickles your fancy, please feel free to contact me so I can arrange to give you all the pointers you need to see it for yourself.
Follow the royalty way, make the most of your leisure time.
