Fifth Third Field

I always try to catch at least 4 to 6 games here a year. I love to see the Tigers current prospects, and was excited that I got to see J.D. Martinez play here the day before being called up by the Tigers. It’s never been sold out to my knowledge, so I can always catch games in the fly, and the stadium in general is really cool! The swamp store has all sorts of Mud Hen memorabilia and like comerica, they have themed days here like Star Wars day, super hero day, and ghost buster day! It’s family friendly with your typical stadium foods, but it’s in the heart of down town Toledo so if you want to stop at a bar for a drink you’re right within walking distance.

This is a beautiful stadium in downtown Toledo. It is fun and worth every dime. The food is a little over priced but is very good. Everything is clean. A trip here is worth it!

This is for the restaurant Bird Cage, and the whole stadium. For starters, the restaurant was a decent find. I had the summer salad and it was very good!!! I had no complaints! My husband had the philly flat bread, and that was less than mediocre. Not much flavor at all. But the restaurant looks out over the field and has good views of the downtown buildings. As far as the stadiums is concerned, it’s a great minor league stadium. I was very impressed! Lots of
Concession stands and a good variety of food. The alcohol drinks were a fraction of what they would be at a major league stadium!!! Everything was very clean including the bathrooms!

Came here to watch the Mud Hens win which of course they did! Lots of fun here and it ‘s great to come here with a group of friends. Parking wasn’t too bad, we were able to find a lot for $ 5. We weren’t able to get any seats so it was standing room ($ 9) only unfortunately. We were still able to get a great view of the field right in left field. They also had a unique funnel cake shop called Farr Out Funnel where there are abut 6 different funnel cakes to choose from that range from $ 4-​$ 6. We tried out the Farr Out Sundae funnel cake which came with ice cream, hot fudge, sprinkles, nuts, and of course whipped cream. This is a great place to bring the family here or a group of friends. They are always having fun events and promotions! We walked away with a bag of hickory smoked sausages last Friday night: D
Pros:
— Great baseball
— Funnel cakes
— Fun family atmosphere
Cons:
— we tried to walk around the back area of the outfield and we were told by this guy that we would have to go around the other direction because there was a private party going on. I’m ok with that but I wish there had been a sign to warn me about it so I wouldn’t have to walk around the whole ball field
Why I gave it a 4…
Lots of fun and it is a great atmosphere to watch the Triple AAA Detroit Tigers team. Can’t wait to come back but next time I will get a seat!

My absolute FAVORITE ball field. Would go here over any MLB venue. Just LOVE the small family atmosphere & all the crowd interaction! Quick in & out with an abundance of parking. Very reasonably priced (admission & parking) also, which makes for an affordable night out with the family :-)) However, have not found one really good restaurant near the park, that I would recommend, & I have eaten @ them all over the years, so plan on eating @ the park, which will probably be most expensive part of the night!!!

Little wonder this place is constantly rated as one of the best in the U.S.
Crazy easy $ 5 parking.
Restaurants in and out of the park.
All seats up close and personal.
The architecture is also fantastic. Also note this is the feeder team for the Tigers. This means some of the major league stats are rehabbing here.

Great opening day! Just wish the speaker system worked better so you could hear/​understand the announcements.

While my tour is far from complete (Been to all 30 MLB parks and 13 out of 30 AAA ballparks) Fifth Third Field in Toledo has stood out among the others and is the standard bearer of Triple A ballparks.

Great ball park! Everything is wonderful and so clean. The food is expensive… family of 4 for dinner $ 40.00…but oh well!

Fifth Third Field was my first stop on a 4 day baseball adventure that took me to Akron, Columbus and Fort Wayne, and Toledo was my 2^nd favorite stadium on the weekend. It’s a spacious, beautiful stadium, with good food, a great store, and an awesome return on your investment.
The people were incredibly nice here, and it’s nice to see the mascots so available and friendly (they weren’t as awesome in other stops)

Wow, wow, wow. This is baseball heaven. This is what Kevin Costner was talkin bout when he made «Field of Dreams». This place makes me proud to be ‘Merican. No really. Imagine a stadium brimming with shiny, happy people who are there for the love of baseball and where they come from. This field reminds me of a smaller (but no less impressive or modern) version of Comerica Park, where the Tigers play. Cool views of T-​town (Toledo) over the outfield. Not a bad seat in the house. Top shelf facility with happy employees. Eminently affordable. This day-​into-​evening was especially spectacular because it was «Dog Night» where owners get to take their dogs and run the bases at the end of the night. Everyone had their dogs in the place on leashes, and THE DOGS WERE EVEN HAPPY. I didn’t see a single dog fight, or «accident», for that matter. How does this happen? Maybe I dreamed it all? If so, let the dream continue through and endless Summer… this place is where baseball dreams are made for players and fans alike.

The park is a pretty average ball park in my opinion. Obviously the food is over priced and terrible for you. If you are lucky enough to sit by people that know how to act in public your experience will be great. However, if you have to sit by people that are there to drink and don’t care about the game, your experience could be pretty awful. The bathrooms are kept pretty clean, but can get messy pretty quickly on the wrong days.

This was my second trip to Fifth Third field and I gotta say I’ve been impressed on both trips. For a minor league park this place is great. Always clean, great concessions, parking is easy, and the amount of restaurants/​bars around is a great draw. The Mud Hens are a great team and if you’re lucky you might catch a Detroit Tigers player who might be working on a DL warm up game or one of them that might’ve been sent down for a few. Great place and can’t wait to visit more this summer!

Fifth Third Field was part of my first baseball vacation trip that started in Cleveland and ended here in Toledo. Despite the fact that we were sitting near a group of children on a hot July day, I still enjoyed the park. Though my enjoyment began after I got up from my seat and walked around.
There’s not much of a view beyond the park but at Fifth Third Field it isn’t necessary. The concessions offer lots of great options (I’m a sucker for a helmet sundae or a souvenir soda). The Swamp Shop sells a wide array of team products (I was happy to find an old school T hat like the one worn by Klinger on M*A*S*H). There are great views of the game from the outfield patio/​terrace areas (which is where we ended up for most of the game) and lots of fun throughout the game for the whole family (loved the race between Kitty Holmes, James Flealand and Jamie Farrmadillo).
Mud Hens fans take their team seriously and I totally respect that. My only regret is not getting a photo with Muddy before I left.

From 7÷15÷2011 (late on getting to my drafts): Great time… too bad we lost. Very nice stadium!!!

Good park for minor league baseball. Three stars only because of the limited food and beverage options and all at major league prices. Great seats all around and the mascots are great though.

The park is fantastic and you do not have bad sitting anywhere. The stadium is always clean. The staff is always friendly. The food and drinks are decently priced as is the gift shop.
We had our rehearsal dinner at Fifth Third Field and was just overall impressed with everyone that made our wedding weekend amazing. They were nice enough to even have Muddy come up and take pictures with us.

⁵⁄₃ Field is as first class, or more so, than many MLB fields. It is just smaller. The only bad sightline is down in the right field corner if you are sitting in the right field/​line box seats. The asymmetrical outfield adds interest. The grass is immaculate. The dirt is perfect. The lines are short. The tickets are cheap. The traffic is tolerable. The entertainment just outside the park is plentiful. It is just hard to beat. If you like baseball you should patronize this place several times a year. Toledo is lucky to have it.

This is a great place to watch a ball game. The mascots are always friendly and fun.
I would love to see more food and beer choices but they do have a good but limited selection now.
The low cost for the ticket along with the atmosphere makes it well worth the trip from Columbus.
They have fireworks after the game on the weekends so that makes a nice added bonus.

Great park. Nice scoreboard. Clean and friendly. Wonderful gift shop! The mascots work their tails off, not like that lazybones Wally the Green Monster, who phones it in every night at Fenway.
They could throw in a couple of exciting beers for the curiously thirsty, though.
