Best Minor League Ballparks: Dunn Tire Park

What's not to love about Minor League Baseball? It's got easier parking, cheaper food, wackier traditions, contests and great deals on last-minute seats. Seats that are close enough to the action that the visiting team can hear your heckling loud and clear. This week, we'll be guiding you around the country to play ball with the stars of tomorrow and the washed up heroes of yesterday on a Bull Durham-style road trip. We've even got the whole thing all mapped out for you.

Buffalo Bisons
Though the major league season started last night, the Triple-A International League kicks things off when the Buffalo Bisons host the Richmond Braves on April 5. The priciest tickets for the day game at Dunn Tire Park are only $10. The stadium holds more than 18,000, making it one of the biggest in the minors. (Bonus for architecture nerds: it was designed by HOK, the same folks who brought you AT&T Park and PNC Park.)

Getting There:
The ballpark is right downtown, off I-190. Parking around the stadium is plentiful. Scope the lots on our map.

Insider's Tip:
We shouldn't even have to suggest this, but you'll obviously want to get some Buffalo wings while you're at the game. You also don't want to miss Belle the Ballpark Diva. Think we are joking?
