The Picnic Area at Harbor Park is a great venue to hold your annual company picnic, reward important clients and employees or entertain family and friends. Perfect for groups big and small, the Picnic Area is available for pre-game and in-game picnics for groups of 50 or more.

The recently renovated Picnic Area features a covered space with picnic tables, high-top tables and an outstanding view of the action. With a picnic, your group's name will appear on the scoreboard throughout the game, and your name will be heard on the Tides game broadcast on ESPN Radio 94.1.

Seating is "open-seating", and there are no designated areas for individual groups. Only two different menu choices are allowed during a picnic, so there is a chance your menu may be based on another group's menu selection. Food is served during two sessions per game. For more information on reserving a picnic, please contact the Tides Group Sales Department at 757-622-2222 Ext. 103, 107, 109, or 171.

How To Set Up Your Picnic

  • Contact the Tides. Contact the Group Sales Office at 757-622-2222 ext. 103, 107, 109, or 171 to confirm an open date for your group. Two weeks notice is required to schedule your party. Book your group early, as dates do fill quickly.

  • Confirm Your Tickets. Call us with your final count 10 days prior to your game date. Tickets will not be added once final count has been processed. Please note you must observe the 50-person minimum. Special Picnic Tickets are required to access the picnic area. No extra guests will be allowed into the area without one of these tickets.
  • Pick Up Your Tickets. Tickets will be available for pick up at Harbor Park. Final payment is due when you pick up your tickets. Pick up and payment are expected seven days prior to your game.

Group Postponement Information

In the event that your date is postponed, we will attempt to work with you to reschedule your group outing to another date. Please note that you are required to hold on to all of your tickets, as they will need to be returned when your group reschedules. If no satisfactory group date is available, your rainchecks will be honored for any remaining non-restricted regular-season home game during the season. The Tides are unable to give cash refunds.

Stadium Parking Information

The city of Norfolk charges $6.00 per vehicle for home games at Harbor Park. The city of Norfolk reserves the right to raise the price that any time.
