Every seat is a good one. Park is clean and offers several places to grab a hot dog and beverage. Attended a spring training game and you can't beat the prices. Worth the trip for an afternoon or evening of fun!

The renovated stadium gives the feel of a major-league ballpark with the closeness of fan friendly action. There is ample parking all around the park, and it makes for a great day in the sun.

Great stadium, great team, fun experience at a spring traing game but this city has very limited parking and I got a ticket when I parked along the street with NO no parking signs. Last time I will visit this sad city.

Ed Smith Stadium was recently "redone" and the result is a wonderful little ballpark. The sight lines are good from all seats, you are close to the field ( pay attention to those foul balls!) and the food is good...about what you'd expect at a smaller ball park... take good dogs, beer, add some sun and a baseball game...you're all...

The Ed Smith stadium is conveniently minutes from the Sarastoa Airport! The Pre-season venue offers a "little league" experience ( small stadium, up close to players, no over-crowding). Food selections are limited however and are not of the outstanding variety or quality of the major league stadiums. Get dinner prior to the game! However, the proximity to the airport and... More

Ed Smith is a great place to enjoy a ball game. We go as a family right from Great Grandfather down to grand kids. The stadium offers everything expected from ballpark fare and has a decent souvenir shop. Our only holdup was that with most spring training games starting at 1pm, the sun was directly over head for most of... More

Loved the stadium. Hated that the Mets lost to the Orioles in Spring Training. Stadium is very nice and all seats seem good.
