Traverse City Beach Bums

the players and coaching staff are fantastic. that is where it all stops. the ownership is made up of the worst human beings on earth. they hate the players the players hate them. they pay less then minimum wage to some of their staff. they belittle their entire staff to their face and behind their backs to the other staff. they can’t keep anyone more then a year because people can’t stand them. the only person who stays is a convicted drunken driver who knows he can’t get a job anywhere else. they yell at the fans every chance they get. just sick that a place that could be so great for family’s has gotten worse every year. traverse city has had enough of them. don’t waste your money. help them go out of business. i can’t say enough about how nice the players and coaches are and how bad the management is.

While in TC on vacation we took in a Beach Bums game and had a great time.
The stadium is beautiful. It has an old time feel and has a Churchill Downs look. I was impressed with the quality of baseball they played and with how they cater to families and kids. Every seat in the place has a great view, the have a play area for when the kids attention span expires and a promotion every night. For $ 10 ($ 6 outfield lawn), this was the best value of our trip. Everyone had a great time.

Poorly run team. Owner needs more involvement in what his coaches are doing. Save your money and stay home. There is a reason these former major leaguers are in Traverse City as coaches. They don’t know what they are doing.

I love baseball. I love the TC Beach Bums. Why did I rate this a one star? Bugs, bugs, bugs. The owners obviously put a very low value on the comfort of their fans. Certainly, something could be done? Bad, very bad. We won’t be back, too bad, I love baseball…

Ok, if you haven’t been to a Beach Bums game, then it’s time you do. First thing that I’d like to point out is that it isn’t in Traverse City, they play in Blair Township. And second, excluding the stadium lights, you’d have a hard time locating Wurfel Park because the entire park resembles a beach house. When you get inside, go to one of their fabulous concession stands; they have all the stuff you want. The bathrooms are clean and the PA Announcer/​on field Emcee really DO keep us entertained. The fireworks go off during the national anthem and home runs. They’ll play silly sounds over the speakers every inning such as the classic of glass breaking and what not. The 2 mascots are Suntan and Sunburn. What can I say, just that you’ll have an unforgettable time. So come down today

How can you best $ 1 hotdogs on wednesdays and baseball? Most beautiful park in minor leauges.

Pretty nice Minor League Stadium and Family Fun.
When vacationing in Sleeping Bear Dunes in Empire/​Glenn Arbor we wanted to take in a baseball game and were able to do so.
Traverse City is a beautiful region, and the location for baseball seems highly attended. Ticket prices of $ 11 were reasonable but it is still more expensive then AA baseball. All sidelines were good, and the quality of baseball was high for Frontier Level. If your a sports fan visiting the area this is the best your going to get and worth a try!

So much fun for an evening outing while in TC. Everyone is super friendly and the atmosphere is just so enjoyable!
Seats everywhere provide a great view. Tues and Thursday games are buy one get one free. So four of us got 5^th row behind home plate for $ 24. Awesome. With parking only at $ 2.
This is a definite must do while in TC if you’re visiting during the season. The whole game is just awesome as each inning they have some type of entertainment for the kids. They have your typical ball park eats. Be sure to get your picture with the mascots, Sunburn and Suntan!

We attended a game during the Bums’ first season about 5 years ago and again just recently. Great fun both times.
Minor league sports is always especially family– and budget-​friendly, and the Beach Bums experience fits that bill on both counts. Tickets are reasonably priced, parking is just $ 2, a huge beer that lasted me the entire game was just $ 5 and caramel corn was just $ 2 a bag. There’s a playground for young kids out in the lawn setting section, and there is plenty of fun and promos with the cute team mascots (Suntan and Sunburn).
The level of pitching in the Frontier League sometimes makes play a bit slower, but we were lucky enough to see a couple of decent pitchers the last time out.
If you plan to drink beer during the game, be sure to pick up a wristband right at the front door (they ID everyone there and issue wristbands).
I also like the fact that they grill hot dogs on a real, live grill (one in each corner of the ballpark), making the dogs here among the best I’ve had at a baseball game.

Family Friendly Fun! What a great place to enjoy a cool summer evening! Food concessions include pizza, soft pretzels, hot dogs and ice cream treats (a few choices from Culver’s). Beer selection includes Stella Artois in the can.

Lots of parking around a ballpark that doesn’t looks more like an apartment complex than a ballpark. The location south of the city also makes for easy access.
Like all minor league park, this is a family-​friend place which I highly recommend.
