I didn't feel like I was there long enough. Just didn't want the evening to end I guess. Would do a few things differently next time though. We will eat on the way to the ballpark. There are three or four restaurants around the stadium, but they are usually crowded before a ballgame. It is not a huge ballpark, so... More

We go every couple of weeks during baseball season and it is always fun. Somehow the positioning of the park makes it less hot than you would think for summertime in NC. The food selection is good. They have lots of great beers. Parking is easy. It's very laid-back with no bad seats.

Going to a Bulls game at this park is always a good night out. The game itself is always fun but they also have some good promotions between innings that are amusing. The food is good and the beers are cold. Sometimes the lines are bit long. This is an event that is affordable and fun.

My husband & I love baseball (BIG Detroit Tiger fans!!!). We were visiting our daughter & family and she suggested we go to a Durham Bulls game- it was very enjoyable even though it was somewhat chilly. And the funnel cakes are delicious!!

the DBAP is a Durham landmark and great neighborhood gathering spot, with a pretty decent selection of concessions (tho pricey, of course), but if you don't want to eat there, the American Tobacco Campus next door offers a nice variety of restaurants (mostly upscale)

Terrific minor league baseball experience going. On a nice evening with the weather perfect, there is no better place to be. Food is good with the Burritos really good. Beer is reasonable and kids love it.

this is a terrific ballpark with all kinds of vantage points and the aroma of funnel cakes is almost overwhelming.... several seating arrangements above and beyond and there's a different view from every angle... parking a little challenging and it's disturbing to see exits you can't use, makes for a lot of extra walking... liked it a lot, but liked...

Minor league baseball is alive and well in Durham. Every seat is a great seat. The stadium and field is perfect. The ball players are committed to their craft and their team...not their paycheck. A fabulous night out.

Went to our first AAA baseball game and it awesome. We are big baseball fans and this place and team out on a great show. We went on Thursday night which was $1 night at the park, Brightleaf hotdogs, fries, and popcorn for only $1. The Durham Bulls won over the Norfolk Tides 9-0....

Great park with a good setting. You can see the downtown buildings with good views from all around the park. Has a lot of nice restaurants next door.
