I got into the game no issue. But as soon as i was in the game security was a constant thorn in my side. First they stopped me because I had 2 beers in my hand (100%)allowed. Then i got stopped bc i was “walking drunk”. I had one sip of the beer I ordered and they literally took the beers (Same beers as before). For reference i am actually 22 years old age. I have never written a bad reviewe before but this place and game really got under my skin

The downtown location is terrific and easily accessible from the downtown hotels and light rail system. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great seats with close up access to the players at reasonable prices. Lots of food choices, I recommend the bbq nachos.

I cannot imagine anything to add to this ballpark nestled in the middle of uptown Charlotte!
The setting sun and nighttime vista of the skyline are fantastic and who doesn’t love watching America’s favorite pastime while eating BBQ and chatting with friends at picnic tables ?

The stadium seats about 10,000 fans and it is fan-friendly. I enjoyed the concessions, the atmosphere, which is family driven, and had a good evening. You will too!

We had a work group get together with our families to take in a game on Saturday night. My wife and I got to the ballpark about 45 minutes early as we wanted to walk around and check things out. This is a great looking park and they’ve done a fine job with setting up all of the food and drink choices around the park. They also have a nice gift shop that you can check out. And there are a lot of interactive games for the kids to take in too.
There doesn’t appear to be a bad seat in the place. We were in section 123 and had a great view of the Charlotte skyline. The tickets were only $18 which we felt was extremely reasonable. And the parking near the park was very reasonable as well. Most places across the street were in the $2.50 to $5.00 range which puts you right next to the park. The prices on hot dogs, pretzels, pizza, funnel cakes, etc. are all reasonably priced as well. They really aren’t out to price gouge you. A regular beer is $6 and a 25 oz beer is $9. Again reasonable for sporting event pricing. So the entire experience is friendly on the wallet.
They have mascots that make their way through the stadium and do an outstanding job interacting with the kids to keep them happy and occupied throughout the course of the game.
They also shoot off fireworks after the Saturday night game. We unfortunately missed out as we left after the tenth inning. But other friends that have taken their kids say that they do a nice job with it.
If you are taking people that need to stay out of the heat (it was 91 degrees when we got there) they also have some nice air conditioned areas where you can sit and eat and drink. I honestly don’t know the price for this but at least they do provide the option which is nice.
It was a great first experience for us and we are happy to see that we now have another first rate place to take our guests when they are in town visiting. We highly recommend.

We had my son's 10th birthday party at the stadium and he was so excited. On the web site, it states that they play "rain or shine" and Homer the dragon will visit the birthday child at his seat and the child will get to go on the field at the 4th inning for a birhday announcement. Well, it had rained some during the day, but during the party under the shelter, it wasn't raining at all. The young girls that ran the party mostly giggled and talked to each other and we had to ask several times for them to bring out the cake. The cake was frozen and disgusting. We went to our seats at 7:00 for a 7:15 start time and there were players warming up on the sidelines, but then they left. At 8:00, after sitting for an hour with 13 adults and kids, they announce that the game has been postponed to a later date, due to rain. It wasn't raining! We went to guest services, and we told that since we "ate the food"(hot dogs) already, NO refund would be offered. We paid $208.00 for my son's birthday party and had cold hot dogs, frozen cake and no game. HORRIBLE place to have a party, terrible policies in place. Unbelievable.

A beautiful stadium for our first ever baseball game. Excellent location / backdrop. Lots of food concessions. Highly recommended if you get the chance. This was due to be a night game, but was changed at short notice. As a result, a small attendance. Take care if it's a hot, sunny day = few of the seats are in shade. We ended up stood in the shade close to home plate.

Was an easy trip by metro to get to stadium. If you have kids under 12 download the app, and get a free dinner box for them! Very clean, but very pricey!

The ballpark is absolutely beautiful and the views of the city in the background are awesome. The park was very clean and staff friendly but the food and drink prices crazy high. There's really not a bad seat in the park but eat before you get here.

There are some gluten free foods available inside the stadium. In addition, there are some great gluten free options available nearby but outside the baseball stadium. B Good is one example.

The park is downtown and there are multiple restaurants in the area including Mellow Mushroom near the outfield. There are several pub/sports bars within a 3 block radius. Many higher end restaurants are also available.
Can anyone give me reviews on Club 93 Seats?
