Great event for a great price. Perfect for family time.
The best fireworks show I have ever seen; and I have seen many in my 74 years of life.
We had a great time at 4th on the field! Recommend going to the food trucks early because the lines were long and did not get shorter all night. The lines were much better for the vendors which was nice. The firework show was amazing! Definitely worth it!
Fireworks were amazing. There wasn’t much to do before them though except sit around and eat and concessions were pretty pricey. They did have plenty of food trucks and other concession options so the lines weren’t too long so that was good. We walked so didn’t have to deal with the traffic after, but it looked terrible, so if you go I wouldn’t recommend driving. They could use more activities around the stadium for all ages. There was a splash pad and small area for kids about 6 and under, but nothing else really. I’d do it again, but I’d go later and just enjoy the fireworks and definitely walk there from downtown.
If this is a family event, allow outside food for a picnic. This event was very expensive for entry, food, and snack. Vendors were expensive as well $15 for face painting is way too much. I will not pay for this event. I will watch from the street and create my own experience.
Easy entry, great venue. The exit was backed up no fault to venue staff, just small roads surrounding the park. I’d definitely go again and park in a different location and walk in.
20 minutes of fireworks an hour and a half to get out of the parking lot. Never again. It absolutely sucked.
There were several parking staff just on their phone instead of directing traffic and it took people hours to leave the venue. I asked one of them to direct the parking and she said “it’s too much traffic to direct. Nothing I can do” and went back to her phone. Pretty disappointed in the people they hired for parking.
I had a fairly good time at the July 4th firework event - sitting on outfield grass and the variety of food trucks available was appreciated. However, food lines were extraordinarily long - more vendors would have been better and better traffic control leaving the parking lot is needed. Spent an hour and a half getting out of a relatively small parking lot. But the vibe was family friendly, safe and courteous.
I bought 3 tickets to share the local fireworks with out of town guests. I had attended fireworks before both after a River Cats game and on the 4th. I must admit I was disappointed with the show as there was no " finale" and the sound qualify was at best poor. Possibly the PA system is in need of an upgrade? Not sure if I will go again next year.
