My wife, kid, and I headed out to that same Ports game. It was our first time there as well. The ushers were helpful and happy to see us as well. We parked down the street and walked a ways when we got there after standing in line to get in we noticed “no backpacks” new rule. It was a long way back to the car, but the ticket taker was kind enough to let us in with it and with out a big hassle. Nice park. Sold out 5,592 people out there on a chilly friday night. The whole family had fun. It was about an hour drive for us. I’m sure we’ll be back before the season is over. Ports won 3-1 by the way and Brett Anderson looked pretty good pitching 4 scorless innings his first night back from injury.

I’ve been to 3 games at the new stadium. Very family friendly and great prices.
How many single A stadiums can you walk 360 around the stadium?
I wish they had this stadium when I lived in Stockton.

gonna head up there at least once this season. i’ve heard rave reviews about it and this is no different

Brett Anderson
This game was sold out + about 300 standing room only seats. From what I was overhearing, this was a much, much bigger crowd than usual. I’m sure this had something to do with it being fireworks night.

saw Cahill pitch. His fastball (88-90) has crazy movement, biting in on righties. He was a little wild early and all three of the hits he allowed went for extra bases (2 doubles, hr) but ended up pitching 8 innings, 3 hits, 3 runs, 2 walks. Once he settled down after the third he was perfect for his last 5 innings.

He was replaced in the 9th by Arnold Leon, who threw a little harder (90-92) but with considerably less and more conventional movement.
