McCoy Stadium

I love going to watch a pawsox game. In my opinion it’s better then going to Fenway! Great family atmosphere. The facilities are clean and nice. The prices are very reasonable.

LOVE it!!!
It’s a long story but I grew up here! Always taken for granted until 2016 when I move back to the area. It has always been, and hopefully under new management, will continue to be a great place!!! We look forward to going & while we could go to a Boston Red Sox game McCoy is only 10 minutes for us ! So F that long & expensive commute! I’ve been to enough ball parks/​games in my life that I feel I truly can compare them 2 each other.

Took the kids again today for the afternoon game. We love it here! You really cant beat it. Its all about the kids! Every foul ball gets tossed in the crowd, the mascot is always around and today they drove a minivan around the warning track. If you got a foam ball in the sunroof you won a prize!
The place has free parking and the security guards are so friendly. There is no BS here no drunks, no swearing, nothing! There isn’t a bad seat in the whole place. and the food isn’t that expensive!

This is a great stadium! My boyfriend and I had such a great time at our first PawSox game. Having this stadium right in Pawtucket is great. As a Rhode Islander I hate driving anywhere else around the state. This stadium makes you feel like you’re in a big city but you’re in your town supporting the local economy. Good beer and food!

Goin’ to games here is great. I hope they don’t move it to PRovidence.

You can’t veat this wonderful family stadium! For the price of tickets, parking, snacks abd drinks for a family of four… your still under the hundred doller mark! Kids absolutely love comming here. before the game they can hang a bucket down to the dug outs and get autograph balls! This isca great opportunity to see a Boston Red Sox player rehab an injury with out the cost of Boston.

Always a good time here! Stay in Pawtucket!!! Been coming here since I was little! Go paw sox!

An excellent place to take in a minor league game. Close enough to the action, but far enough back to have time to duck on a line foul. The PawSox don’t always win when I visit, but they put on a good enough show for the p[rices they charge.

Before I start let me preface this review by stating that this stadium is OLD and I don’t mean that In a bad way. I just mean it is well loved and should be taken into consideration for those whom are expecting all the bells and whistles of a newer minor major league ballpark.
BUT what it lacks in fancy amenities it makes up for in good old fashioned fun. For less than $ 20 where else can you sit within spitting distance from future major league ball players. Where else can you grab a beer (There is one vendor that sells Foolproof IPA so search them out) and a chicken sandwich prepared before you and watch patrons who are there for the very reason you are… to watch America’s past time and maybe catch a glimpse of tomorrow All Stars.
Parking is easy and it’s a great place to bring the family. Thee is not much entertainment around but hey you are here to see baseball what more could you ask for.

I’ve been going to watch the Pawsox play at McCoy stadium ever since I was a little kid. Over the years I’ve always enjoyed the fact that you could drive 15 minutes, pay less than $ 10 for a general admission ticket and watch a baseball game with players who might one day be playing for the Boston Red Sox.
The stadium itself was been well maintained over the years and while it’s probably not the most modern minor league stadium, it offers some good seating and standard ballpark options for both food and drinks. I have noticed recently that beer prices have gone up a little bit (still not horribly expensive) and the food is reasonable /​what you would expect to find at a baseball game (burgers, hotdogs, popcorn, etc).
Heading over to McCoy on a weeknight after work or weekend afternoon game with friends or family is always a good time. I’ve been to Fenway plenty of times, which can get to be a little pricey… that is why it’s so nice to have this team /​stadium right here in RI. Fun atmosphere, reasonable prices & a competitive team to watch, exactly what a day at the ballpark should be.

I’ve seen games at a number of minor league parks before this one and was looking forward to a relatively inexpensive family day at the ballpark. Which did not even come close to happening. While the seat prices were pretty reasonable, everything else was not. First, who charges to park at a minor league game? Sure, it’s «only» two bucks, but it’s the principle. Next, the beers are priced like you’re at Fenway. Although not really, because Fenway prices are absolutely obscene. Here they’re merely outrageous. Next, the food is crap. Mediocre sausage, and the burgers? My kids decided they’d rather stop at McDonald’s for a burger than eat the thing we tried to give them here (and this if from kids who abhor McDonald’s because the burgers «are full of chemicals»).
Frankly, you may as well pay the extra for a Fenway trip because, unless you’re only going to sit in the seats and not have any concessions whatsoever, you’re paying about the same price for an inferior baseball product.

I was here this past Sunday for a PawSox game and enjoyed it. The box office lines were very short and easy to understand. My seats were along the first base side which is a far walk from the box office because they are near the left field foul pole. So it was a long walk. Concessions were very close to each other there are a lot of them. The restrooms are very large. The one problem I have with the male restrooms is that there is a line of urinals against the wall but there are only about three toilet stalls. The prices are reasonable for food and drinks. My seats were under a canopy which I was happy for because it was cold and rainy and I was surprised that there was no obstructed view even under the canopy. I will defiantly come back for a Paw game if I ever get the opportunity.

I’m a big Sox fan, and having said that I want the team to move to new city where they can benefit from a new stadium. Its not very visually appealing, has those long winding ramps, the concourse is very slippery when its damp, and the seats could use replacing. Don’t get me wrong, if/​when they do move to a new city I fully expect a AA or A team to jump at the chance to make McCoy home, but for a AAA team this stadium simply isn’t going to cut it much longer.
That being said, the concession options are extensive and affordable, but the cons outweigh the pros here.

I wanted to give McCoy another shout out with the hope that more people take a trip this season. I went to the home opener again this year and have been a few times this season, including today.
I met a friend who I have not seen in a bit and we caught up over a nice game and beautiful day. The food at McCoy is pretty good. We got a few burgers and for a ball park they were pretty good.
Take a trip to McCoy, plenty of free parking around and the most you will have tp pay is two dollars.

I have been going to the pawsox since I was a little kid and I have to say each and every time I step into McCoy stadium I know that will be in for a good time for the next 3 hours.

McCoy stadium offer so much for family entertainment. The ability to take your whole family to a baseball game without breaking the bank is amazing in today’s economy. It has all the fanfare of the huge stadiums, without the cost. This is a Rhode Island treasure, A gem, creating memories for families that will last a lifetime. #rhodeisland #baseball #family #fun #happiness

Great change of pace for people from the Boston Metro area, you can get a ticket to a game, food and pay for parking for under $ 30 no problem a welcomed change from the ridiculously expensive prices at Fenway Park where just parking alone is $ 30.
While it may seem like a long trip from Boston I typically go here once a year and have never taken more than 45min to an hour to get back home from the stadium (I live right outside Boston in Newton).
For parking, don’t panic and pay for a spot blocks from the stadium when there is more than enough parking less than a block from the stadium at the exact same price (if you cannot find street parking or a spot in the stadium parking lot (these spots fill up fast so chances are you will need to).
The food is typical stadium food but far more reasonably priced.
If you’re brining kids, get there a little early and you can get plenty of autographs and maybe even a ball. To get a bunch of autographs bring an empty 2 liter bottle and string. Cut out a section from the 2 liter bottle so a baseball and pen/​marker can easily fit and then Tie the string to the bottle. Use this contraption to lower your ball down to the players who will happily sign and pass the ball around. You need this because there is a drop off from the seats down to the bench and this solves the problem. Don’t worry you won’t be the only one, many people will have this and where i got the idea.

One of my favorite places to catch a game, and I’m not a Sox fan! Inexpensive, very family friendly and very few bad seats (avoid GA section 7! but even there they give you free wifi). Lots of shade under the awning or bring a blanket and sit on the grassy berm. No matter where you choose, you’re close to food and drink service and restroom facilities. A true Rhode Island gem and a Unilocal Best Bet!

McCoy went through a renovation/​expansion in 1999 to prep for the 2004 AAA All Star Game. Have to love the old time charm of a minor league park.
There are small things that make it Rhode Island like the food offerings (doughboys, clam cakes, Narragansett beer, etc). Since it is AAA, the caliber of play is top notch because these guys are just a call away from the majors and most teams draft fairly well. So you will see Durham (Tampa Bay) and Pawtucket right near the top almost every year, save for some trouble in the parent club.
Now with the expansion, the park is still very small compared to other minor league parks. And it appears the bowl needs to be revamped a bit, I was quite cramped in a box seat, where you think they’d invest a bit in making it a little nice.
Now, the prices per game are cheap, so I guess you get what you pay for. However, if there is a chance, I always go to McCoy at least once a summer.

baseball love is here

I don’t really care about baseball, but I love America, and that’s how I ended up watching a PawSox game at McCoy Stadium. I must say, it was a pleasure!
First, it takes about 45 minutes to drive to Pawtucket from Boston. That’s as long as it takes to get to Fenway from anywhere in Boston during a Sox game. The parking costs $ 0-​$ 5 depending on where you park. It costs $ 12 for the closer seats and $ 8 general admission. There are plenty of covered seats (= shade and shield from rain). Every seat is a good seat. The food and beer costs about $ 5 for any one item (hotdog + beer = $ 10). AND the crowd was a ton of fun and made for excellent people watching.
Fun date = PawSox.
