After a day of fun in the sun and surf or on the golf course bring the family down to Ticket Return Stadium to enjoy the baseball game under the lights. As the moths flutter about under the bright lights, watch the Myrtle Beach Pelicans as they take on their rivals. As the Single A Advanced affiliate of the Chicago Cubs, the Pelicans are always eager to impress the crowd. Many past players have made it to the pros including, Jason Heyward, Ian Happ, and Joey Gallo. Who knows? The young team you watch tonight could be the future stars of the Major Leagues soon after.
Now baseball is the main reason you come down to the ballpark, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t other things that will keep the kids from wanting to leave. The food is not only affordable, it’s incredible. Brats, hot dogs, pretzels, and nachos are just a few of the snacks that can be had at the many concession stands throughout the stadium. There are also some treats for the thirsty as well. Ice cold soft drinks always on tap along with beer. Check your schedule for special offers as on some nights beer is only one dollar and food prices are also reduced.
Throughout the season there are also many nights when there will be a fireworks show after the game. The Myrtle Beach Pelicans have more fireworks nights than the average team does at the Major-League level. There are also 50-50 drawings and entertainment for the kids to keep them entertained between innings. If the little ones have a hard time sitting still, there is a small playground behind the right field stands and throughout the game booths within the concession areas with games to test their skill. It’s also important to consider arriving at the ballpark early. Although parking is free and plentiful, it is also a lot easier to get autographs from the minor leaguers than at the professional level. So bring some balls to autograph and you probably won’t be disappointed.
Ticket Return Stadium is a “must visit” destination when booking your trip to Myrtle Beach in the summertime. By booking your tickets online you can score seats close to the field for as low as $13 a piece. However, even the seats furthest from home plate will still put you closer than at a major league ballpark. If attending a game is a last-minute decision, the friendly staff makes buying your seats quick and easy. Either way, there’s no reason to miss an opportunity to watch baseball at the beach. So grab your glove and some sunscreen can come see the boys of summer before they make it big!
