Food and Drink

If one thing is guaranteed about a ballpark, it is their delicious eating options. NymeoField at HGS provides a wine bar located next to Brewers Alley stand on the weekends. For food options, there are eight concession options in which you can enjoy a different variety of foods. You have the hotdog meal deal, and what would a ballpark be without hotdogs? The Frederick Keys provide that, as well at their outstanding array of nachos at Dugout Dogs. Hot Dog Nation is the next stop for a hungry fan to visit. Sunflower seeds, candy, kettle korn, hotdogs and pretzels can be purchased here, as well as sodas, bottled water and adult beverages. Next, Hot Corner Grill provides delicious meals such as the chicken tender meal deal, chicken tenders, Philly cheese steaks, burgers and cheesburgers, fries and soft drinks as well as adult beverages. Next, you have your popcorn stand with cracker jacks and candy. Then you have the Keys Creamery  with rootbeer floats, helmet sundae, soft serve bowl and funnel cake fries. This ballpark also provides a kids stand, dippin' dots stand and the Angus Grill, where you can purchase a delicious 1/2 pound burger or a 1/4-pound Hotdog.

Entertainment

Fireworks night, placing the camera in the crowd, and themed nights can provide unique experiences for fans. For instance, the Keys had Seinfeld night in 2015 where the actor who portrayed the Soup Nazi made a special appearance for autographs. The best part of a minor league game is the ability to surprise. Minor league teams like the Keys  are sponsored by companies, restaurants and charities. Almost every day and night provides a little special gift that will make baseball fans enjoy the small and peaceful environment of a minor league game.

Weekly Promotions

At this ballpark , you can be sure to have the ability to involve the family. Nothing says this more than the Keys' weekly promotions. Kids can run the bases following every Keys home game and are invited to line up down the right field line to begin a fan favorite run. Kids also have courtesy admission, where youth athletes in uniform 12 years of age and under are admitted free to a Sunday home game. Also, this admission is provided with the purchase of a regular priced adult ticket at the Keys Box Office. Kids also eat free on Mondays. All kids under the age of 12 will receive a voucher for a free hot dog, chips and a soda when entering Harry Grove Stadium during Monday Keys' games. There are many events that cover every day of the week for minor leagues and they give a good experience to be had.

Everyone is used to the big ticket prices on the Major League Baseball level, but the minors provide a little more economic choices for the fans! Adults from the ages of 13 to 59 can be admitted for $12 while youths, seniors and military with an active ID can come in for $9. Reserved seats range from $10 to $15 based upon the seating level. Reserved seats are also in the same price range from $8 to $13.
