I have been many, many times. It is a VERY clean stadium and the views are great from any seat. The food is very good for a ballpark. Parking is great no issues.. Go and enjoy yourself..

There were several games there while our boys were in a tournament--we went as a team to watch the game and everyone truly enjoyed the evenings. The stadium is very clean, views, and food are above average. A great baseball experience.

Ripken Stadium is a great place for watching minor league baseball. I tend to prefer watching minor league baseball as the games tend to be exciting because the players are trying to work up to major leagues and put out everything they have. Ripken stadium is a compact. open stadium with good views from everywhere. Even the typical "nosebleed" seats are close to the field with great views. You can even see the action on the field when standing in line at a food concession. There are also special areas/events such as dining behind home plate, the crab pavilion, kid's playground, and more. Parking is close and free. "The Hanger" has a huge selection of Ironbird souvenirs at reasonable prices. The stadium is easy to get into and out of and located right along I-95. It is a fun and relatively inexpensive place to take family and friends to watch some great minor league baseball on a summer night.

Loved the Ripken stadium. All the kids enjoyed playing on the different fields. Plenty of batting cages and fields to practice/warm up on. A few suggestions: More bathroom facilities. Had to continue to walk to the stadium to use the bathrooms because the port-of-potties were disgusting. I feel there is enough money made to have more "bathrooms" and not so many port-of-potties. Maybe build a small playground on the complex so younger sibling will have somewhere to play. The concessions stands, of course, was extremely overpriced. For the price paid to play, there should be some relief at the concessions stands. Both of my boys played here in October (different weekends) and both got a chance to play in the stadium which they say felt like you were on a real MLB field. Wished every team was able to play in the stadium to experience that. There was a charging station which was an extra plus.

Ripken stadium is a wonderful place to watch baseball. In my opinion, the seats are very comfortable and feature drink holders on the backs of the row in front of you. I couldn't give the ball park a rating of 5 because the food and drink prices are just too too high. I expect to be overcharged a little, but $3 for a small cotton candy? That is blatant theivery, to me. The mascots and the personalities provide a lot of fun - they get the spectators involved in various games and they also fire t-shirts into the crowd. I say, plan your night out for when fireworks or a giveaway is scheduled. If you come on a giveaway night, but sure to be there EARLY as the premiums are generally limited.

The most uncomfortable seats. There is no leg room. If someone has to leave their seats everyone has to move out of the aisle. We left early because of being so cramp that we couldn't enjoy the game and we never went back.

Wow I wish our baseball teams here in Australia had facilities this good! Clean, good parking. Enjoyed the game.

I went for a company outing. This was my 3rd time being there. We go to company sponsored outing at least once a year since they are one the largest venues for my company in Harford county. This year I am not eating pork or beef. Of course they served pork, beef and crabs. I do not eat crabs either, so all I had to eat was C-O-R-N. That was Ripken's fault since my company ordered what they thought was pleasing to everyone. The corn was good and sweet, but for $50 a head for an all you can eat, they certainly made money on me. But my wife eats all that but she did not eat $100 worth. The atmosphere was very good and the view was excellent. I would and will go back again, but not for the Ironbirds (not a great team), but for the kids little league games and the free food of a work function.

Just attended the last 6 nights of the Ripkins League games/playoffs for the Babe Ruth 12 year old league. But we also attend Ironbirds games there. It is the perfect size so that every seat is a good seat. The atmosphere is always family-friendly. They have several fields for playing youth league games. We love going to Ripken!

Hello. As a long-time volunteer of Ripken Stadium, I have had the opportunity to speak with many people who walk through the gates. I love hearing from folks who travel and go to as many minor league stadiums as they can (avid fans), and they always tell me that Ripken Stadium is right at the top of the list of the Minor League stadiums in the country. I can tell you, that the stadium offers very personal service, has fantastic food, and of course, the main food attractions is Conrad's Crabs, where you can get and eat Maryland steamed crabs, shrimp, shrimp salad, and many other yummy food. Such a friendly atmosphere, with lots for children to do.

Cal Ripken has dedicated himself to the development of baseball in a number of ways, but building this stadium in Aberdeen stands out as his best. It is classy with excellent views from all of the seats, good concession stands and reasonable ticket prices. The Single A league competition gives fans the opportunity to see young ball players at the earliest stage of their careers. The coaching and managing has to be the best in order to build a basis for moving up to the next level and maybe even the majors. You will enjoy the game but the surroundings as well with enough of a touch of Camden Yards to give you a feel for the stadium just down the road. Two very good motels right across the street and a number of good restaurants in Aberdeen make a night at the park very enjoyable.

Proud to push our single A stadium. The City of Aberdeen did it right when they built this stadium in honor of the Ripken family. There are major league stadiums not as nice as this little stadium. Coupled with the Ripken Baseball Academy and the management of the stadium and team by Ripken Baseball, Aberdeen has set the bar for minor league facilities! Come visit, you will be impressed!

We went to the Ironbirds game for their "Christmas in July". Even though the team is not that good they have really good fan support. There is a guy who encourages the fans to cheer, gets involved with the games between innings, etc. Wish they would put more player stats on the scoreboard and a scorekeeping sheet in the book. Food & drink prices were okay. The Ironbirds won this particular evening. There was a good fireworks show afterwards. Women's restroom was big and clean.

We enjoyed a six day stay at a nearby hotel and took in the stadium views during our sons baseball tournament at the neighboring Ripken Experience. This is a top notch single A stadium and is perfectly situated for the family that loves baseball. The Ripkens have done it again, excellent offering!
