Even though the game was just seven innings long, cutting it off four innings prior to the end seems ridiculous compared to the usual “after 7-innings” of a nine inning game.Īs nice and new as the stadium was, the parking situation was awful. I would like to note, however, beer sales were cut off after the 3rd inning last night (it was a double-header with two 7-inning games), which was pretty disappointing. And of course, the overpriced drinks of $4 waters, $6 sodas, and $7 beers were offered as well. Prices were standard for ballpark food, with your best bet being the chicken tender basket that came with fries for $8.50. There wasn’t any local flavor as far as food went, or at least I didn’t come across anything. Unlike a lot of ballparks, though, I didn’t notice anything unique to the area offered, besides four selections of Foothills Brewing beer. The food was pretty standard for ballparks, with chicken tenders, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, fries, nachos, soda, beer, and water being the highlights of what was offered.
Off in the distance downtown Winston-Salem could be spotted, though it wasn’t a big part of the stadium scenery at all. The field itself was beautiful with real grass and dirt, the way baseball fields should be, instead of turf. Whoever designed it definitely wanted to make it unique, and I very much favor that instead of the usual cookie-cutter ballparks that are all designed the same. The dimensions of the outfield wall are wild, with the wall jutting in and out, and going from really short in some areas to very tall in others. One thing that may stand out to visitors, and like Yacs from The Sports Chief stated, the field is reminiscent of one created on a video game. And like a minor-league ballpark should be, it provides the intimate atmosphere fans seek so they can feel like they are part of the game itself. Like all modern ballparks and stadiums, there’s really no bad seat in the entire place. The brick exterior on the outside of the stadium give first-time visitors high expectations of what’s on the inside, to which they won’t be disappointed. Built just over ten years ago and opened for play in 2010, everything is modern-looking and fresh. But for a minor league baseball stadium, especially for a single-A team, it is very nice. This was the second time I’ve visited it, so it was no surprise to me. After the 2020 craziness that shut everything down, it felt good spending a summer night at a baseball stadium. The Dash are a high-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox and play at Truist Stadium, previously known as BB&T Field before the bank merger between BB&T and Sun Trust banks.īefore getting into my review, I would just like to state how nice it was being at a live baseball game again. the Hickory Crawdads last night in the Triad city of Winston-Salem. Me and a few others went to the Winston-Salem Dash game vs. For the first time since 2019, I attended a live baseball game.
