Super bummed We bought tickets early that the time was unknown @ time of purchase for 3/30 then updated it would start at 630 pm having to drive 2 hrs both ways a late game is ridiculous I’ll never buy tickets that don’t have a starting time at time of purchase , wasted money
Took the kids on Easter Day. Everyone working there is so incredible nice from the parking gate to the stadium entry gate and inside the park. Amazing people and kindness! Game was great! The only issue is that we were excited for the 12:30 Easter Egg Hunt but apparently they put the eggs out early and didn't block off until time. The eggs were gone before The Hunt Time. Disappointing for the kids. Great park though!
Over-all Okay, The concessions were dismal. I got up at the end of the 2nd inning to grab two hot dogs. The lines were horrendous and it was hard to tell what line went to what concession. I walked up to the front and asked people what line they were in and worked my way, way way back to the end. There was an announcement when I got close that a lot of items were sold out. Thankfully not the hotdogs. One hour later with hot dogs in hand I had to go to three different condiment stations to get mustard for two hot dogs. I missed 3 innings and my wife got so worried she came looking for me. Only ketchup and mustard, not the usual fair with pickle relish & onions etc. Not the River Cat experience I am use to. With parking up to $25 from $15 and major league prices for seats the Giants could have at least tried to win the game, or make it exciting at least. The River Cats performed well. I hope the seat and parking prices go back to normal. I was excited to see beer getting sold in the stands, I do hope that practice continues.
My family all had a wonderful time at this game in Sacramento, with some great quality baseball played, and the players were nice enough to take time and sign autographs for kids. I only wish that there was a printed ticket option (even if it’s after the game)—these are commemorative keepsakes and nostalgia that the four of us really would like to add to our collection. We have ticket stubs from games we attended when I was growing up and even before. I don’t like the exclusively digital ticketing.
Rivercats definitely not ready to handle the masses. I remember years ago just driving into a parking lot, paying cash, and parking. Easy. Now, there seems to be a variety of parking lots, but some are not open to the public (which you don't realize until you're at the lot) and there was nobody directing traffic. What a mess. So...we drive around and finally find a lot. What we didn't know was there would be a 40 minute wait to pay for parking using a machine that was extremely slow (many in line just gave up and said they would risk a parking ticket!). We left after 5 innings, and noticed some lots originally closed to the public were now open. Of course, at that time, nobody was looking for parking. We also noticed a lot charging $25 for parking was immediately next to a lot charging $1.75. Should also mention all the concession lines were the longest I've ever seen at any ballpark and extremely slow. This was a really bad experience.
Sutter Heath Park, home of the RiverCats, hosted the San Fransisco Giants in a pre season game. There was a "sell-out-crowd"but the vendors were only equipped for the usual... less than half this amount! The result of having 3 servers at a stand and a 1 hour wait for a hot dog! The "Park"knew, week in advance, of the sell-out but did not get the vendors in the loop. The new ownership has shown it real goal ... get the money...screw the fans!!
Enjoyed the game, loved seeing the Giants in Sac. Rivercats need to up their concession game. Way too many 30 minute lines. Cold Hot Dogs. No Mustard in the dispensers. Same thing happened Opening Day last year. Do Better!
Got in at 3pm to watch batting practice. Sat close to field , great view ! Packed stadium of fans enjoying a big league team in Sacramento. Rivercats won! Fun experience.
We arrived early, about 3:45. We asked where handicap parking was and parking staff did not know where and they didn't seem to have any idea what their purpose was? We waited an hour to get a (COLD) hot dog and a HALF-FILLED french fries container. When i mentioned the half-full container, he said, "well that's how they're filling it."Yeah, thanks for the assistance. Went for condiments and the ketchup and mustard was empty! Part of the experience of a live game is the (EXPENSIVE) food but that was totally ruined for us. IF we ever go to a game at that park, you can bet we will eat first!!
There was not nearly enough parking! Cars were stuck in streets with dead ends. Plenty of vacant lots but people were not allowed to park in them. The lines for food were so long that people missed several innings of baseball, which is what we came to see. I had to go home hungry and very thirsty. I would not recommend!
Great field, good baseball, but way too crowded. Lines for concessions were up to a 30 minute wait. They should sell to a manageable crowd size.
Game was enjoyable. PARKING MUCH TOO EXPENSIVE. FOOD TOO EXPENSIVE. Vendors not prepared for a sold out game - ran out of hotdogs. Too much time wasted in different vendor lines to get the different food item choices.
Standing in line for 1hour 15 minutes with no t v monitors to watch the game is agony. People on line together became life long friends. Everyone patient thank goodness.
Awesome time at the game, positive fan experience. Everyone working there is very kind and helpful! Can't wait to go back 😊
Sutter Health Park is a great baseball venue, but was ill-equipped and ill-prepared to handle the sellout crowd for Giants vs. River Cats. Hot dogs were cold and lines were unbearably long and slow. Kudos for requiring plastic for payment, but still not enough to make things move better.
They oversold the game. Every single line to get food was 30 to 45 minutes long, hundreds and hundreds of people at every entry gate at any given point in time. Such a frustrating experience. They even ran out of food at many kiosks.
Awesome day at the ballpark. Even with the huge crowd, lines were manageable. Great job!
Stadium was not ready for large crowds at game. Wait times for food were 30-40 minutes. Long lines everywhere!
The announcements were very hard to understand. The concession stand lines were super long and when arrived at the register we wanted a Dinger Dog which was on the advertised menu and they said they were not selling them on that day.
