This place is great for baseball fans. My 12-year-old nephew, a rabid White Sox fan from Chicago, was visiting with us last week, so we took him to a Bulls game in Durham. He was quite favorably impressed, declaring that the park is much nicer and bigger than the two Triple A parks he had visited in Illinois. I myself... More

We live for baseball and are moving to Durham. A night at this ballpark sealed the deal. Where do we buy our season tickets?!

Must go to a game if in Durham, great place to see baseball as it should be. Located downtown in a perfect setting, must also go to Tobacco Row in left field.

I enjoyed the Durham Bulls Park. Although I have never been to another stadium for a AAA team, I thought the stadium was still impressive. It has a lot of beer available--Budweiser and Sweetwater--and the generic stadium food. Everyone was very friendly who worked there. It was also pretty efficient getting in and out of the stadium. Make sure to... More

This is a relatively new park built for the AAA Durham Bulls. The games are good; the crowd is good - diverse and manned; the food is good; and they have good beer. What more do you want?

great seating options and tremendous merchandise store -- if you get the chance, check out the restaurant atop the left field wall. the non-store staff doesn't exude warmth and the concession lines can be long at times, which is particularly problematic because you can't see the field from the concourse (thankfully, beer vendors are stationed within the seating area)

Spent a couple days at the ballpark watching the ACC Baseball Tournament. A great place to watch a game and concession prices are reasonable. The bull from the "Bull Durham" movie was moved to the new park and blows smoke after every home run. Employees were very polite and helpful.

The park is designed for families, and the activities are as well. It's all about the kids having a good time. The food prices are reasonable, and a family of four can get away with tickets and snacks without taking out a loan. My only complaint is the price of wine. $7 for a tiny bottle of Sutter Home?

Good home for the Durham Bulls baseball team. The park seems to have its act together with facilities conveniently located and providing a pleasant place to watch a game.

In town for the ACC Baseball tournament. Asked locals if best to eat in the fabulous American Tobacco complex surrounding the stadium before entering ballpark & was advised they had great food with many vendors & food selections within the park. So sorry we listened. Only 3 food vendors open, food was mediocre & over-priced. Even the soda was warm... More
