Best Minor League Ballparks: Frontier Field

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.

Rochester Red Wings
As long as we're talking about upstate New York teams, we should mention the Minnesota Twins affiliate Red Wings. We've been to a few games at Frontier Field--we thought they were pretty average. But one Jaunted tipster obviously had more fun than we did:

For a friend's bachelor party we reserved a hot tub in right field just behind the outfield fence our group of 10 guys. We had our own private outdoor area complete with chairs, picnic table and hot tub big enough for 6 people. We shared exclusive access to the entire area spanning around the outfield with another group allowing us to scoop up or catch home run balls. Our group scooped up 2 of those homeruns. The stadium sells local food favorites like garbage plates. They also had locally made beer--like blueberry ale from Rohrbach--let us enjoy cold beers in the hot tub. The reservation included  our own private EMT watching over us throughout the game as a precaution/ possible stadium requirement.
