Cedar Rapids Kernels

Catching a baseball game at Kernel’s Stadium is one of the many perfect ways to soak up a summer evening in Iowa.
So far I’ve only ever sat in the group seating area at the end of the first base line. Despite being at a less desirable angle to watch the game, I’ve never had a hard time seeing all of the plays — one of the perks of a smaller stadium! The stadium itself is pretty new and overall really nice, which is a nice surprise. I love love love that the stadium carries brews from local Millstream Brewery on site, as well as several other delicious (though not local) craft brews like Surly and Bell’s.
So what’s missing? I really wish the food options were better at this stadium. They carry the classics and even a veggie burger, but nothing jaw-​droppingly delicious. I’m craving some locally-​grown sweet corn, gourmet popcorn from one of the many local popcorn shops, and brats straight from a local farmer or Sausage Foundry meats.

Great activity for kids. Great baseball atmosphere for adults. Stadium seems about 10 – 20 years old and it was well designed. Every seat is absolutely awesome. Maybe that’s standard in minor league baseball, but I can’t imagine a much better ballpark. Good value. Not too many between innings crap. There’s some, but it’s not overdone. Just a quality summertime activity. If I lived in Cedar Rapids, I would go frequently.

Some of the best entertainment you can get for $ 10 in CR! I’ve been to 2 – 3 dozen baseball games over the past few years (including having worked here one summer) and it truly is a lot of fun. They have ‘promo’ nights during every home game; Star Wars Night, Jimmy Buffett Night, Armed Forces Night, College Night, Dollar Monday’s, Twins Tuesday’s Thirsty Thursday’s, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Night, Hawkeye Sports Night, Daddy-​Daughter Night and more. Post-​game fireworks are plentiful after home games as well. Lots of food options and various seating from $ 7-​$ 15/​ticket. If you want to go ‘all-​out’ you can even rent a suite. This season you can get 2 for 1 tickets on Tuesday nights. Kernels souvenir shop is top notch and the stadium is exceptionally clean and well maintained. FREE parking. Check out the Kernels website and Facebook page for more info.

The stadium is pretty new, still clean and in good shape. They usually have thursday night $ 1 beer night, and other specials through out the week, this is always a great place to take your kids, family, or friends. They have lawn seating, I think it’s a good place for kids to sit with there parents babysitters brothers or sisters! The Cedar Rapids Kernels are the single A team for the Los Angeles Angels of Anahiem of California of the United State of America.
