Coca-Cola Field – Bison Baseball Inc

I’ve been to a couple minor league stadiums and I think that the Bison’s stadium is a perfect stadium to go as a child and really experience what baseball is all about. I’ve been to a couple of Major League games, but the relaxed and family-​like atmosphere makes this place a wonderful place to enjoy your childhood.
Back in the day, my parents would wrap me and my brother up in blankets, bring snacks for us to enjoy along with several drinks (much different nowadays, haha. These are the days bags weren’t checked at the entrance.) We would get there between six and seven and stay until the game ended around 10 or 10:30. So much enjoyment trying to burst the sound meter and catch pop flies while simultaneously punching my brother out of the way to get the free t-​shirts. Oh familial love.
The food is pretty much terrible, but you have to accept that fact as something inherent to baseball stadiums. The most recent time I went, my soft pretzel had to have been at least an hour old. It was so stale that I almost spit it back out. Yikes. My friends had equally bad pretzels so I’m assuming they either weren’t cooked properly or very old (we also hit the last game of the season.)
The fireworks were pretty amazing for Fan Appreciation Day. They were dangerously close to the left field seats, though, so I don’t know. Death for good fireworks? Ehhh. I’m not sure if that’s a good tradeoff.
As previously mentioned by a couple of reviewers, this field represents your childhood. For ten dollars a ticket, it was such a cheap affair to bring the whole family. It’s good quality fun and even more enjoyable when you get to experience it with the people you love, teaching you about one of America’s favorite games.

Came here over the weekend to watch the Buffalo Bisons — the Triple A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays.
The field is pretty damn nice. It’s a nice place to watch some baseball with front row third base line seats for only $ 12 US.
The concessions were basic, but classic ball park stuff. Prices were okay, but the cool thing is they will let you pay with Canadian dollars (with exchange), and give you change back in American.
They have a craft beer section as well, which is always nice to see.

I grew up on the third base line in Pilot Field (It will always be Pilot field in my heart.) After logging over 300 games in my life at this field, there is something insanely soothing about this park. While the park keeps changing (The new Reserved seats are a tad bit bigger. More beer selections. Food fads come and go.), the constants are what makes this place charming.
I can always count on: Conehead schlepping beer up and down the aisles while giving his «cold beer guarantee.» Kids screaming for Buster Bison. Blue Cheese loosing the silly character race. Catching at least one die-​hard keeping score with pencil and paper.
While this stadium is deeply tied with memories of my father and childhood, the stadium is one of the best minor league stadiums. The grass is impeccably kept, the women’s bathrooms are easy to find and enormous, the lines move quickly for a large venue, and the stadium is always freshly updated and painted.
I’ve cheered for Manto, seen my players step up to The Show for Cleveland Indians, the New York Mets, and Toronto Blue Jays, and was inspired by the Earl of Bud to take tap dancing lessons. This field is Americana at its finest.
P. S. The craft beer game has exponentially grown in the past few years. The Mantos Brothers Red Ale is consistently amazing. They now have a Loganberry beer, which I have not tried, but it put a smile on my face.

Its a awesome stadium to see a minor league game. The tickets are reasonable and the experience is great.

I had a wonderful experience watching the Bisons play against Syracuse. I haven’t been to a game in many years and wanted to make it to a game after hearing about all the new activities they added.
Lines were a little long. but I guess that is normal for any sports game you go to.
Food venders were great. I had some pizzalogs that were ready in seconds and were fresh and HOT.
Our seating was way past the diamond on the right side. Section 122. Im not sure if its first come, first served to get tickets in front of the diamond, but I was still able to see off the BIG screen.
It happened to be Zombie night and it was fun seeing everyone who participated and perform the Michael Jackson Thriller dance.
I loved how they had entertainment to watch on the BIG screen with the fans by the Kissing camera and best smile.
Fireworks followed the game, which is always exciting to see. I will definitely be going to more games!

There’s something magical about minor league baseball. What’s not to love? The tickets are cheaper, the between-​game entertainment more creative, the food and drink options more creative, and the baseball … well, the play isn’t necessarily better, but it’s still pretty fun to watch.
It’s great to be able to go to a sports game and not be bankrupt by the end of it. There are a lot of local foods and local beers available, and of course Blue and Bud too, if that’s your thing. There are racing celery sticks, in between inning trivia, and of course creative theme uniforms.
It may not be the most picturesque ballpark, but the location is still pretty decent, accessible via the subway. All in all, we had a really enjoyable time, and definitely will head back soon.

My husband and I have come to this park every year to watch after game fireworks. The Bisons have won every time I’ve gone to a game. I’m not saying that I’m a good luck charm but they should probably give me free tickets for life. The food and drink options are great although a bit pricey. This is too be expected from a ball park though. The fans are definitely entertaining and I want to go back for their many themed nights including Star Wars night.

OK, first time here and this will be short. A great place for a baseball game and every encounter i had was completely painless, from buying a walk up ticket, getting into the stadium and finding my seat among friends who arrived earlier than me. At every contact point was treated exceptionally well and when i walked up to my seat a fowl ball landed in my friends hand. Wish it was mine! He did a great thing and gave it to a kid 2 rows in front of us! I have great friends! Got to see 2 players from the majors in this game and the setting is great!

Good stadium, in a good location of the city. There’s a lot to do around the field before and after the game, which is more than Rochester can offer. The game we went to was sold out and it was packed. The walkways and concession areas weren’t designed to handle the amount of seating they actually have. That being said, the concession prices were surprisingly lower than I expected. I still wouldn’t say reasonable, but I feel like they’re lower than your average stadium/​field. We sat all the way in left field and the sound was terrible. I could hardly understand a word the announcer was saying it was so quiet. The TV screen there is the largest in minor-​league baseball which is cool. All in all, a fun, clean atmosphere in a good area of the city.

Tomorrow’s stars and today’s medical rehabilitation of baseball players. Fun family environment. Reasonably priced games. Friday night fireworks for home games. Specials all season long. I love our small ballpark. Improvements are underway for the next few years to bring the place up to par. Star Wars Night Is Amazing, Highly recommended!

What an awesome way to spend an afternoon! After living in Buffalo for 2 years, I had no idea that this field even existed. I really felt at home while I was here watching the game, as I used to live very close to Citi field and frequent the games there. The experience was great, lots of fun, lots of friendly people just looking to enjoy some baseball and soak in some nice weather. They keep the grounds exceptionally clean and being located downtown, there is plenty of parking. Didn’t have a chance to try any of the food they had but we did have beer. They had an area for craft beer which was cool, but we stuck to big blue lights. They also had a blue option. You can only buy two beers at a time, and make sure you bring your ID or else you won’t be served. As mentioned in previous posts, there isn’t a bad seat in the stadium. General admission is about $ 11 per person and you choose whichever seat you want, which is cool. This past Sunday, the place wasn’t crowded at all so we had our pick. They throw t-​shirts throughout the game, give baseballs away to fans and sing songs throughout. They have a race towards the end of the game with a chicken wing, hot sauce, bleu cheese and celery. Thoroughly entertaining let me tell ya. My friends and I ACCIDENTALLY said a curse word and got yelled at by man sitting four rows behind us. That was awkward, so make sure if you are coming to the game with your friends and think you might get a little loud that you don’t sit near people with little kids.

Who doesn’t love a ball game in the summer?
I actually have never been to a Bisons game up until a fellow Unilocaler invited me on a double date with her husband to check one out. I had NO IDEA the fun I was missing (when it’s a good game). Seriously, I missed have missed out on a good bit of my childhood since my parents are Russian and they never «took me out to the ball game.»
I’ve since been back on my own as a friend of mine wanted to celebrate her birthday by going to a ball game. It can get kind of chaotic in the lines coming in. Finding free parking isn’t easy (we found some near CanalSide and walked 10 minutes).
Tickets are only $ 10 and you can often times find them for free through various non-​profits, Delta Sonic and other promotions going on. They have a $ 3 discount for seniors and veterans.
Luckily, there’s not a bad seat in the stadium. Food is iffy — standard ball game food, but they did recently start selling craft beer which is nice. There is also «La Nova Pizza,» which is cool, but they don’t have any wings. Blue Cross & Blue Shield has a stand where they serve healthier food, such as veggie burgers, tuna sandwiches and etc. They never have a long line, but it’s a nice touch for those that are seeking a healthy option.
Don’t miss out on the celery vs blue cheese vs buffalo wing races. Those are always a ton of fun. Tuesday night is «fan appreciation night» at the Bisons where they do giveaways (i.e. shoot T-​shirts out of a cannon) after every inning and have a fireworks show at the end of the game.
If you’ve never gone to a ball game in Buffalo, definitely consider checking it out before the season ends!

A weekend in Buffalo for a another dang wedding got super jazzy when I stumbled across this stadium. The Bisons were playing the RailRiders on a bootyful August Friday night. We walked up to the ticket booth and were given 2 free tickets by the nice ticket check gal. Beers are only 6.50! And the Bisons won! If that isn’t awesome, I don’t want to go on living.

Take me out to the ball game ! I have not been to a buffalo bisons game in years apon walking up to the stadium. The flash backs of popcorn peanuts and cracker jacks skipped through my mind. Being so young I forgot how fun a game can actually be considering it is only minor league baseball.
Food and drinks are well priced compared to going to a bills or Sabres game and they have a full bar too! Long Island ice teas for 6.50 yes can’t beat that with any baseball bat!

I came here tonight for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by how large and graceful the field was. We were in one of the suites and the view was excellent! It was amazing to see the 190 and Buffalo buildings, also the rising land out yonder.
The service of the catering staff was average. There was plenty of (somewhat cold) beer and the chips bowl was refilled but they served only meat (chicken fingers, hot dogs, hamburgers). As a very hungry vegetarian (having come right from work), I had to get creative. I placed a slice of cheese on a roll with lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, and some mustard. It actually wasn’t bad but get with the times, people. At the very least serve grilled portabellas.
The game itself was enjoyable for baseball. The field was very green and perfectly lawn mowed. There were a lot of kids around and an overall sense of safety and peace. The music played during breaks in the game was quite groovy.
A gorgeous night, the Bisons won, no one went hungry. I’d go again!

We had a great time. It was both Happy Hour night and Fireworks night. The beers were great. They had many craft brews from Western New York. Can’t beat that. My favorite was the watermelon wheat. The Stadium is nice and clean, unlike the park in my hometown of Las Vegas. There were lots of promotions. My only beef is when I emailed them, they said the mascot would be in the crowd throughout the night taking pictures. Well we only seen him in the crowd twice and had to look for him very carefully because he stayed by the concourse both times. If you see him and want your picture with him don’t wait or you might miss your opportunity. Overall a great experience.

I am NOT by any means a baseball fan. I find it boring and long, but I did have a very good time here seeing the game last night. I decided to attend a game with a group of friends last night. They all had tickets, so I had to buy my own for the same section when we got there. Only $ 13 so not bad at all!
It wasn’t a sold out game so we all got to sit together regardless of where our tickets said we had to go, which seems to be the general rule unless the game is sold out (which it never is except for 1 or 2 times a year). The ballpark itself is really, really nice. For a AAA team, it’s very impressive. They have amazing craft beer selection; way better than I ever expected. Sure they cost $ 7, but the choices are awesome and way beyond your typical Labatt and Molsen. I had a Great Lakes and a Rohrbach Scotch Ale.
Some of the between-​innings things are cheesy, but it’s all in good fun, and it’s nice to see the Bisons do well in the game. Being in the heart of downtown, surrounded by the beautiful architecture and the nearby cranes, it’s almost easy to forget where you are! Definitely a great venue, and seeing a game every once in a while is not as bad as I would have thought for someone like me who does not care for baseball.

I’ve been here a few times for games and it’s always a good time. I have also been in one of the suites and it’s pretty nice in there. I’m glad that they do have vegetarian options for the food that they have catered to the suites. There was a hockey foosball game in there along with some comfortable couches & TVs. I have also been on the field for concerts and other events. For concert if you are on the field. I’ve never been to a concert in the stands. It seems like this would to be too far away to enjoy if you were in the stands but I have never experienced it

Great ballpark. It’s family-​friendly with lots of food options, clean bathrooms, cheap tickets, and the ability to sit pretty much wherever you like. The food and drinks are expensive, but that’s to be expected at any sporting facility. The games are always entertaining, even if the Bisons aren’t playing too well.
An extra star for their «Craft Beer Corner.» Right by the entrance there is a corner where you can select from no less than 12 different craft beers including Long Trail, Brooklyn, Flying Bison, Saranac and others. This would be a great beer selection at any bar, let alone a ballpark. Unfortunately, you get what you pay for — this beer will set you back $ 6.75 for a regular 12 oz. Much more expensive than the tall Labbatt Blue/​Coors Light being served throughout the rest of the park.

Star Wars night! What a great time for young and old alike. When did Darth Vader become a good guy? Wow, I’ve missed a lot! Anyway, kudos to the players, staff and performers and not to mention the awesome fireworks at the end. Everyone we ran into that worked there, actually seemed like they enjoyed being there, everyone was friendly and always had a smile.
