Campbell’s Field

Not a bad seat in the house for sure. The staff was very pleasant from the ticket takers to the very efficient concessions. Had a blast watching the riversharks play the only way it could have been better was getting a w. The «street crew» seemed to be a motivated bunch, and seemed to genuinely happy to being what I would say is the pr face of the ball park. All in all had a blast and if they have another home game the next time I visit will have to make it a point to gi

Although Campbell’s Field is home to a minor league baseball team (Camden Riversharks), it is still a great night out with out the expense of a major league team.
The stadium is really clean and the staff works hard to involve the fans in-​between innings. The prices are also a lot cheaper than you would see at a bigger stadium– $ 7 for crabfries with cheese? Thats almost unheard of! Theres a lot of food options to choose from including ritas waterice, funnel cake, cheesesteaks and all your typical baseball snacks.
Tickets are fairly cheap ($ 10 range), but make sure to look out for all the promotions that they run.
There are usually fireworks after the games on Friday nights. With the bridge in the background, it is wonderful view that is hard to beat!

Pretty nice. Went here for the Color Run. Well ok. we weren’t actually inside. But I have been inside for a game or two, as well as for a leukemia walk. I’ve also walked the bridge and looked at the ballpark. It’s pretty nice. It’s your standard type of ball field. Complete with overpriced food and drinks.
All in all– a nice stop in Camden.

Came here for the final weekend of the season just to say that I had visited once.
It’s a solid ballpark. It’s clean enough. Sight lines are decent. The food offerings are good enough, and the family atmosphere is affordable and fun. I have no beef with Campbell’s Field.
But the truth is, Wilmington, Reading, Lehigh Valley, Lakewood, they’re all better minor league experiences and it really isn’t close. Either the food is better, parking is cheaper or even free, and the stadiums are better.
It’s good enough here and I’ll be back. But it’s not great.

There are not a lot of reasons to come to Camden, but Riversharks stadium is one of them.
This is a very nice independent league ballpark. However, the Independent League will never be confused with The Show. Luckily, the Riversharks make up for marginal on field entertainment with reasonably priced tickets (very common to find deals online — check for them), a nice sized and clean stadium, good sight lines, and a great place to take the kids to enjoy a baseball game without taking out a loan to cover the tickets.
This works particularly well when the kids are still young enough not to recognize mlb players names — they’ll think they are at a Phillies game. When the game gets boring — the Patco high speed line train rattling along the side of the Ben Franklin Bridge will keep them entertained.
The usual suspects on the concourse for food and beer. $ 6 for parking close to the stadium. Don’t be scared driving through Camden to get to the stadium — things will be fine once you get to the waterfront. Enjoy!

Me as my friend went to Campbell’s Field after talking about something to do and me bringing up that the Riversharks won the extra innings Thursday night. We went Friday night (07/​25/​2014) and I was surprised at how nice it would was. It’s a minor league baseball team so there is no bad seat in the ballpark. Me and my friend sat 4 rows behind home plate and the seats were amazing an affordable. $ 14 tickets to sit behind home plate and the view was nice. Being used to Phillies games I was used to a giant screen showing the player and their stats on the screen so the small screen they had kinda let me down, but it’s minor league baseball. The food was a little similar to a major league game as far as price and minus some selections, not sure if the concession stands accepted credit cards or not. The team won in the bottom of the 9^th and we got coupons for $ 1 off a wawa hoagie. Great time overall at 10x less the price of going to a phillies game. I’m also hearing the other teams in the Riversharks league don’t charge for parking but we were charged $ 6 for parking. Kinda bad. The announcer could do a better job getting the crowd hype when the home team bats. Especially when the home team is attempting a comeback.

This is a really nice sized ball park with all seats close to the action. Even if you’re not a big sports fan you’ll find yourself enjoying the game, as well as the quirky between inning entertainment. Check their online calendar for special days where they have give-​aways, fireworks, and free ice cream.
Also, who could resist the Camden Rivershark’s mascot, a shark named «Finley»? He’s there during every game, and afterwards taking pictures with the fans.

This is a very nice ball field and for it to be located in Camden I think it’s a step in the right direction with bringing good attention back to the city. This is a perfect place to hangout with friends or family. The prices are very reasonable. I definitely recommend this place if you like sports and just want to have a good time.

This is a really pleasant stadium for watching a baseball game. lovely views.
the PA is way too loud though. Bring earplugs.

Got a Groupon so grabbed four tickets to the 100-​level along with $ 10 in cash to spend on food or merchandise. In general though, ticket prices are very reasonable. Parking can be found in and around the stadium for $ 5. We parked in one of the closer lots to the stadium, which I’m glad we did as coming out at night, you don’t really want to venture too far off the beaten path. We saw people walking to lots a bit further away and it was not well lit. As long as you are with a group of people, I suspect you’ll be fine. But honestly, you don’t want to get too far away as it can get pretty dicey real quick.
KIDS ACTIVITIES
There is a Fit & Fun Zone complete with rock climbing wall and bouncies that your kids can enjoy for a little extra money. There is also a carousel for $ 1/​ride. Parents getting on to supervise their children don’t have to pay. My boy enjoyed the carousel, but look out, it does move fast! Simply stand in line and pay the ride operator when you get to the front of the line.
You will find Finley, the mascot, around, but he wasn’t around as much as I would have liked or even what I’ve experienced at other ball parks. It wasn’t terribly hot out during our visit, so I don’t think it was because of the weather.
On Saturday nights, kids can run the bases after the game. Start lining up at Section 203 as the line gets pretty long pretty quick. They only allow so many kids on the field at a time, but it still moves relatively quickly. Note parents are generally not allowed on the field.
FOOD & DRINKS
All the food and drinks can be found on the mezzanine level. If you are looking for healthy options, check out the Healthy Plate concession stand. The Club Grill can be found on both the first and third base sides and serves up the typical burgers, hot dogs, chicken fingers, etc. A typical meal here with a drink was about $ 10. They also have cheesesteaks (not all that great in my opinion) plus a Ciconte’s pizza. If you are looking for chains, you’ll find Turkey Hill, Rita’s, Chickie and Pete’s (crab fries only), and Auntie Anne’s. Turkey Hill had a nice variety of flavors to pick from, as did Rita’s. Beer can also be purchased throughout the food stands. A bottle of water was $ 3.50. In general, I didn’t find the food and beverages prices to be all that great of a deal. They were somewhat cheaper than Citizens Bank Park, but not as cheap as say the Reading Phils.
MISCELLANEOUS
Gates open one hour before game time. There are some great views of the Ben Franklin Bridge and Philly. The team store has some nice items and prices were pretty reasonable. Bathrooms were clean and staff was friendly. The third base side seems to shade first and if you are here on a fireworks night, they launch them in the parking lot behind third base. Looked like some of the seats in front of the press box were shaded earlier in the day. There some activities between innings, but not as much as I’ve seen at other ball parks. My boys got a little bored throughout the game. Overall though, not a bad park and I would certainly come again. I prefer day games as I feel a bit safer.

Camden conjures up a lot of negativity in people’s eyes but this is a project that people should support. The team isn’t the greatest but both staff and front office are trying to do something worthwhile, namely giving Camden something to be positive about. Ticket prices are reasonable, food options are good and its a pretty stadium next to the river.

This was my first visit to a minor league baseball game, and I had a great time with my boyfriend and our two friends.
Parking is plentiful and costs $ 5. We rolled up to two girls standing at the entrance of the parking lot, paid our $ 5, and were handed a receipt. We then drove over a pathetic excuse for a barrier or something and easily found parking.
We walked toward the stadium and bought our tickets. There are a couple of seating options and thus prices, but when we were in line debating where we should sit, a few people handed us complimentary tickets and coupons. It seemed like almost everyone had one of the two options. The four of us got in for $ 10!
As we made our way in and up the stairs, workers took our tickets and gave us raffles and pieces of paper, good for free glow sticks and other things. It wasn’t overly crowded when we arrived about 45 minutes before the start of the game so we were able to walk around peacefully.
We purchased Rita’s regular sized ice for $ 4.25 and shared that to cool off. We walked around a little bit and decided to go outside and sit by the waterfront to kill some time.
The waterfront is awesome! Inside the stadium is awesome! With views of the Ben Franklin Bridge and downtown Philadelphia, it was a perfect summer evening.
We showed our stamped hands for reentry into the park, and my boyfriend bought us chicken fingers, fries, a soda, and a beer. I think it was about $ 17. We didn’t end up sitting where our tickets assigned us to. Instead, we found seating closer to the home plate and sat there. There’s plenty of seats to move around.
We watched the Riversharks beat the Sugarland Skeeters 4 – 2, and during the game, each inning would have a mini thing (sumo wrestling, bean bag toss, tug of war, etc.). Then at the end of the game, we were treated to fireworks. This kept the crowd around the stadium longer. When the fireworks were done, the lights in the stadium were turned off, the bathrooms locked, and people were essentially forced out. Since most people left at the same time, it was slow getting out of the parking lot.

As sad as being in Camden made me, that sadness was washed away inside this lovely oasis of a ballpark.
This was the site of my first minor league baseball game, a corporate event hosted by folks from my lovely lady friend’s work. We arrived on the later side, and the game was a complete afterthought (for me — there was a family in the section beneath us who were really, really into the Camden Riversharks), aside from the incessant hail of foul balls being swatted in our direction. We were in the sweet spot, I suppose.
Our group had paid for buffet food, which ranged from not so good to surprisingly delicious (pulled pork, yum!), and had an absolutely marvelous view ahead of us: the Ben Franklin Bridge, the Philadelphia skyline, and a wonderfully minimal presence of Camden in anyone’s mind. Downstairs from us, there were plenty of places to buy food and beer, and plenty of staff to keep lines at a minimum.
The point comes off for the bad beer selection, and of course, for Camden. But I had a terrific time here with new friends, in a perfectly family-​friendly atmosphere, at a pretty low price. It’s definitely worth a try.
