Veterans Memorial Stadium

Beautiful stadium, great atmosphere. Can’t beat a good baseball game at a place like this! Staff was very friendly, and overall amazing environment for baseball!

Great place to watch a ball game. Friendly staff and great prices on tickets. We were also lucky to be there on Thursday night for $ 2 beers!

My work buddies and I were here to see the Cedar Rapid Kernels, the Twins low A team, which used to be in Beloit, WI. We were on a work trip to Cedar Rapids so we had a perfect opportunity to see Bryan Buxton in action, the number four pick of the Twins last year whom Tom Kelly called the fastest player he has ever seen, which is high praise.
I bought myself a Kernels fitted hat and settled down with my Thirsty Thursday $ 2 Budweiser beer. Good stuff.
The scoreboard was huge and seemed like it was in high def. The stands were about half full and kids were having fun all over the place.
They had a stand where you could order a burger with lots of toppings or a pulled pork sandwich on a pretzel bun. I got sauerkraut, jalapenos and banana peppers. My only complaint is that they could have put the pretzel bun on the grill for 30 seconds, it was pretty weak cold.
The pulled pork was good though, and the beer flowed a few times.
A lot of laughs with buddies and a great time in a Single A ballpark. A lot like a St. Paul Saints game.

Came out to visit the corridor therapy dogs and their visiting friend from overseas. Fantastic stadium and I hear they’re going to have a night where and your dog can go see a game together!

Like said before this place is a jewel, I remember going to Cedar Rapids Reds games when I was little and we needed a new ball park bad! I think they did a great job on this ball park!
The only thing that keeps me from going to more games is that the Kernels are the single A team for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and I’m a Cubs and Tigers fan so I usually only go when the play there minor league affiliate teams.

any chance i get to use ‘ball’ and ‘club’ in close proximity– gets an automatic 3 stars… this place loses one star cuz if you park on the lower level it’s weird trying to find out how to actually GET IN?

This stadium is a jewel for Cedar Rapids and the state. A great place to be on a beautiful summer night. Not a bad seat in the house, you can even see the game from the concession stand. Which you’ll want to visit, especially on dollar dog night (Wednesdays) and Thirsty Thursdays ($ 1.50 beer). The Cedar Rapids Kernels make an entertaining evening at a great value. Kudos to Jack Roeder and his professional staff for making Cedar Rapids proud with this wonderful ball club and facility.
