Parking
The Crawdads operate the main parking lot surrounding the stadium and the upper grass lot located before the eastern entrance (entrance closer to 321) to the parking lot. Parking is $5, card only.
The Crawdads will do everything in their power to play games as scheduled, but weather may alter the schedule. In the event of delays or cancellations, the team will post the most current information on social media. If nothing is posted, the game is on as scheduled but rest assured, we are always monitoring the situation!
What if it does rain out? In the event we are unable to start a game, or four and a half innings are not played, tickets for the rained out game can be exchanged for another game that season (upgrade required for concert dates and the Independence Day Extravaganza). Hold onto the tickets and bring them back to the box office to swap them for your new date.
