Pelicans Ballpark Ranked #1

Pelicans Ballpark has been rated the number one minor league ballpark experience by <a href="https://stadiumjourney.com/" target="blank" >Stadium Journey_. This marks the ninth time in ten years that Pelicans Ballpark has been ranked a top ten minor league experience and the first as the number one experience across all classifications.

“The club combines a great product on the field with a beautiful facility in a hard-to-beat location,” writes list author Mark Viquez. “Great food; excellent choice of craft beers; free parking; nearby Broadway at the Beach; Splash and Slider; friendly welcoming staff; and Myrtle Beach combine to make TicketReturn.com Field an easy choice for your visit. It is one of the best in the minors. The salty air and the ocean breeze are truly the best compliments to baseball.”

The publisher’s annual list has varied occasionally, but generally encompasses all classification levels. Other past Stadium Journey rankings for Pelicans Ballpark include:

• Top High-A Ballpark Experience (2019)
• Top Ballpark Experience in South Carolina (2018)
