I
will
say,
"Sutter
Health
Park"
has
got
to
be
one
of
the
nicest
Minor
League
stadiums
in
all
of
professional
sports.
Having
been
opened
since
2000,
this
park
was
the
Sacramento
Rivercats
Minor
League
affiliate
to
the
Oakland
Athletics
(from
2000-2014)
while
serving
as
the
Minor
League
affiliate
to
the
San
Francisco
Giants
(from
2015-present).
This
place
was
once
known
as
Raley
Field
(from
2000-2019)
but
was
renamed
Sutter
Health
Park
as
part
of
a
naming
rights
agreement
with
Sacramento-based
Sutter
Health
that
serves
hospitals/medical
facilities
surrounding
the
Northern
California
region.
Going
back
to
the
park
itself,
I
have
been
here
on
quite
a
few
occasions.
Not
just
for
baseball
games
but
also
for
soccer
matches,
concerts,
graduations,
and
even
a
beer
festival.
The
parking
itself
is
rather
spacious
as
it
is
in
close
proximity
to
a
major
freeway
as
well
as
surface
streets.
Over
the
years,
this
entire
area
has
been
revitalized
by
utilizing
a
full
pavement
parking
lot
while
constructing
nearby
housing,
businesses,
and
a
bike
trail.
My
most
recent
visit
came
during
the
evening
of
Saturday
6/25/2022
as
I
got
to
see
the
Sacramento
Rivercats
host
the
El
Paso
Chihuahuas
for
a
6:37pm
game.
The
best
way
to
expedite
the
ticket
process
is
by
purchasing
everything
online.
This
includes
the
parking
pass,
food
voucher
(if
applicable)
and
seat
tickets.
Getting
through
the
entrance
is
rather
simple
(and
much
less
stressful)
than
a
Major
League
Baseball
game.
Keep
in
mind
that
only
clear
bags
are
allowed
inside
the
park.
Furthermore,
they
do
not
allow
food
or
drink
inside
except
for
sealed
plastic
water
bottles,
baby
formula,
&
small
milk
cartons.
Since
we
are
on
the
subject
of
food,
I
will
say
that
Sutter
Health
Park
has
a
nice
menu
selection
including
their
popular
hot
dogs
(aka
"Dinger
Dogs"),
wings,
nachos,
tri-tip
sandwiches,
burgers,
popcorn,
and
desserts.
I
ended
up
ordering
a
"Bacon-Guacamole
Cheeseburger"
with
a
regular
sized
soda
which
came
to
about
$20.
Prices
mirror
that
of
a
professional
MLB
game
so
be
sure
to
bring
extra
money
if
you
wish
to
enjoy
a
$14
beer.
But
overall,
the
food
concession
stands
move
rather
quickly.
As
far
as
the
aesthetic
layout
of
this
park,
it
is
absolutely
beautifully
designed
and
laid
out.
From
a
distance,
you
can
see
the
Tower
Bridge,
the
pyramid-shaped
Ziggurat
building
and
a
couple
other
high-rise
buildings
in
plain
sight.
The
seating
itself
holds
over
14,000
guests
which
include
fixed
seats,
lawn,
and
standing
room
only.
The
digital
scoreboard
is
rather
small
but
still
fairly
easy
to
read
a
players
stats.
There
are
other
areas
displaying
digital
information
including
balls/strikes/outs,
a
pitchers'
MPH
(after
every
pitch),
and
a
timer
(of
when
a
pitcher
must
release
his
pitch).
From
any
seat
at
this
park,
you
can
definitely
see
a
lot
of
action
going
on
the
field.
Whether
you
are
sitting
in
the
upper
box
section,
the
lower
deck
area,
or
even
the
lawn,
this
is
a
very
nice
place
to
watch
a
baseball
game.
You
can
also
see
a
view
of
both
the
home/away
dugouts,
the
upcoming
batters
on-deck,
and
the
home/away
bullpens
(behind
the
outfield
wall).
And
if
you're
lucky,
you
may
get
a
foul
ball
hit
in
your
direction
so
always
keep
a
lookout.
With
that
said
and
done,
I
am
rounding
out
my
4.5
rating
of
"Sutter
Health
Park"
to
a
perfect
5-stars.
Great
location,
amazing
views,
excellent
food,
and
friendly
staff.
