My wife and I were at a minor league game late this summer, watching the Quad City River Bandits. If you’re looking for the American experience, you know, the apple pie, Chevrolet, baseball thing, look no further than our minor league ballparks. There’s a jovial feeling to the crowd, perhaps because they didn’t have to pay out the nose for parking? Concession prices are very reasonable, so you see a lot of people, especially children, with ice cream and hot dogs. Reasonably priced craft beer seems to be the concession of choice for the adults and lots of it.
