Toledo Mud Hens

I recently moved here from the Akron area and was pleasantly surprised at the crowd on Saturday night. I have always went to pro games, this was my first experience at a minor league game. I plan on attending again!

For my wife’s birthday, we went here for the first time. I was impressed that all the tickets were $ 12 or $ 15 each. While I was able to find good seats on the website, going to stub hub, I found first row tickets for $ 20 a piece.
Parking wasn’t bad and only cost $ 10 directly across the street. Before the game, we were treated to the Budweiser Clydesdales and a nice little stroll along the riverfront. Once inside, we were warmly welcomed by the ticket takers. The stadium is a nice size with plenty of vendors and most of the seats are close to the field.
We really enjoyed the game as the the close proximity and the passion of the fans makes for a great atmosphere. It was nice to see players that are not all multi millionaires.
The only downside to the experience was that the concessions are still sky high. I understand marking up a hot dog a few dollars, but when I can get a whole package of dogs and buns for the same price at my local Kroger, it is a little overpriced. It would be nice if the concessions were more affordable for the fans.
Overall, everything was great, besides concession prices. We enjoyed the atmosphere, the passion, and the location within Toledo. We will definitely be taking in at least one game in Toledo and might completely forgo our trips to Comerica Park.

The Toledo Art Museum, Zoo, and Mud Hens are the top 3 attractions in Toledo. Family friendly with delicious food and drink. The best time to catch a game is when a Tigers star is on a rehab assignment.
Watch out for foul balls.

What a great place to see a game! There is not a bad seat in the house. And lots of great concessions, too.

best minor league stadium around.

I’ve never been to a minor league game before the Mud Hens, but it was so much fun! The mascots are so entertaining, and the overall atmosphere is light-​hearted, family-​oriented, and fun. Plus, there were fireworks. I never laughed so much at a baseball game.

Toledo is a great day trip for anyone living in Metro Detroit. A trip to the zoo followed by a Mud Hens game, will be enjoyed by the entire family.
The stadium itself was nothing special, but it did have a great feel. Low ticket and concession prices were nice on the wallet, after the game there was fireworks. Good times were had by all.

Review from 7÷15÷2011 (yes, sitting in draft). Beautiful minor leauge park in the middle of downtown Toledo. Everytime I come to town, if the Mud Hens are in town, I am here. This time saw Mud Hens and Yankees. Great game… great times. You can’t go wrong when you cone see a game here.

What a great place to be… always fun and always exciting. You can’t ask for more from a local MiLB. Not much more to say about that.

This was my first time at a minor league stadium and I didn’t know what to expect. It was great! Just like a regular baseball stadium but smaller. Typical food and beer available. They even launched fireworks after the game and it was a quality show. The mascots did a great job engaging the crowds. Tickets for a game are pretty cheap around $ 12. Perfect location downtown for pre-​gaming at Tony Packo’s.

The Toledo Mud Hens are just a great experience for anyone that has not gotten the chance to see them. They offer great baseball action as well as family friendly entertainment throughout the game. The fireworks that they offer on weekends are awesome especially around the Fourth of July. Tickets are extremely inexpensive so you can go to many games compared to MLB. Sometimes you will even see major league players from Detroit.

I’ve heard such great things about Toledo Mud Hens games ever since I moved here last year. The locals swore that the games were so awesome and fun, but honestly, how much more fun were the games compared to an Angels or Dodgers game? I was a skeptic, and I believed the baseball games to be overrated due to the lack of things to do in Toledo. I officially state that the game last night was one of the most fun baseball games I’ve been to (as much as baseball itself can be fun).
The traffic towards downtown was insane, but once we were in there were a lot of parking choices (ranging from $ 5-​$ 10). I’ve never seen so many people in Downtown Toledo! It was easy to get to our seats. Vendors circled around regularly offering classic baseball game food. Surprisingly, there was a lot of food to be sold. What caught my attention the most was how FAN-​FRIENDLY Mud Hens games are. They had games between every inning (which were hilarious) and lots of entertaining tidbits. I’ve never seen so many little kids at 1 baseball game before. The fireworks show at the end of the game (after every weekend game) was impressive and definitely exceeded my expectations.
Mud Hens games are a cheap and entertaining way to just get out for a wholesome, family friendly evening. Next time, I’d probably look into taking a bus or shuttle so I don’t have to worry about the parking and traffic.

The Toledo Mud Hens. Youve seen Jamie Farr and Harry Morgan wearing the jersey. Now let me tell you about them.
The Hens are a AAA minor league team whose parent club is the Detroit Tigers. They are a contender and rare is the time when you will see a bad game. Unlike the parent club, the Hens know how to win games as in back to back championships of the International League.
But, moreover, it’s not the baseball that I go for. I go because it is a cheap evening or afternoon; a mere 9 dollars gets you any seat in the house, and they do fill up fast, but me as Mr Last Minute has never encountered a sellout.
The food, while good can be on the expensive side, so go get grub somewhere else, but in case you do want to eat the food, get the Italian sausage made right there in Toledo by the Sofo family. It is worth the 6 dollars you’re gonna pay for it.
If you happen to go on a Fri, Sat or Sunday, there are always fireworks at the end of the game. Don’t bother trying to leave early, there is no way out when the police block off Monroe St. Stay and enjoy the show.
Better yet, park your car at one of the satellite lots like Franklin Park Mall, or Westgate and take the bus in. They have shuttles for every home game, and it’s pretty cheap at 1.50 per ride.
There are a number of places to eat at before and after the game, one being Frickers. I’ll cover that in a later review.

What a great day (or night) out. It’s cheap, it’s fun. It’s family-​friendly. It’s group-​friendly. It’s first-​date friendly.
Tickets cost next-​to-​nothing and they have a lot os special events. They have been known to sell out, so if you’re planning to go, def get tickets ahead of time. Typically, I have taken groups and their group sales is VERY EASY to work with.
Their gift store is terrific, and don’t go home without getting a picture of Muddy or Muddona (mascots).
When we go, we typically round out the day with a visit to Tony Packo;s (the original location) for delicious Hungarian food — and to check out some pretty good buns.
