I would suggest you bring an umbrella or wear a helmet to be protected from foul balls. The fields are OK but the facility has dirt around the snack bar and the diamonds. Limited seating on diamonds other then the stadium field so you should bring a chair.

It's a great facility to play in as a player! Some parents will have their qualms.

Just a heads up, NO outside food is allowed inside Arnaiz. We just pack a lunch and walk back outside the Fields to eat.lunch. But they do have good food at the snack bar.

fields are nice, but the backstops are too short. Foul balls raining down from every field on the walkways. or into the stands. Really not a safe place, and if you have little ones you need to be extra careful.

Everytime I talk to the guy who seems to be in charge he keeps promising that they will rectify but that conversation has been going on for almost two years.

You wont find better field conditions, backstops are actually just about the right distance, not too far not too close. Lighting is good, infield sprinklers between games work well. Snack bar has cement walk way all the way around, I dont know what you want where the dirt is, you want more cement so when its 100 degrees the heat radiates even more, that sounds great!, you want grass, that will last about a week, what else is there?? Foul balls are a joke and need to be taken care of, and only warm up area is across the street at park. Snack bar 'crazy guy', is not going anywhere, so just have a BBQ in the parking lot between games, and dont let him bother you with the TSA checkpoint at entrance, he is just trying to make a buck :roll:

It was a good experience this weekend. Fields were groomed and watered (chalked). Warm up area is poor. We did experience the crazy snack bar guy! What a freak....poor communication. The designer of the fields screwed up on the height of the backstops. If they would just raise them another 10 ft would not solove all foul balls but definitely help.
