I was so happy to be able to watch both games with my daughter. The volunteer staff at the ball field was very friendly and welcoming. The games were exciting with remarkable action. It felt so good to cheer on our athletes from Canada and to also experience the talents of teams from other countries. The field was hard to find but it was well worth the effort!
The playing field was spectacular as well as the grounds crew. The teams played a quality and very entertaining game of baseball. The parking was much too far from the field - I've been to pro events in every sport and never had to walk so far. The in-game presentation lacked. While the PA announcers were top-notch, the music choices really left much to be desired. The crowd was pumped up going in, and all you did was soften them to sleep. Country songs that nobody has heard of, love songs, slow melody songs ... you missed the boat completely. Play upbeat songs, songs that get people clapping and toe-tapping. And then, immediately after the game, with Canada just having lost, the team gathered in a circle in right field and the crowd cheered them, as deserved. What do you play over the sound system at that moment? The complete version of "I could have had it all"! It was completely distasteful, disrespectful, and frankly, unpatriotic. After these women busted their butts trying to win gold, feeling like they had let down a crowd of 5,000+ (which they didn't!), you kicked them while they were down.
The baseball field was Olympic caliber ! I'm so happy that I came. However the walk from the parking lot was tough.........not very easy for older people especially in the heat.
We enjoyed a great game of baseball for the Pan Am games. We watched the bronze medal match, Cuba VS. Puerto Rico. Good match up! It was a very hot day, 33C + humidity, and there was not shade. This is okay though as it is the summer time! The location is great, very clean and lots of toilets (port-o-potty). Only downside would be the long walk from the parking lot to the baseball field. If you are not up for a km+ walk, this may not be your thing?! Otherwise, take your time and go for it!!
