duluth huskies at wade stadium

I know there are renovations planned, but this venue is the best for feeling like you are stepping back in time to a place when you could hear the crack of the bat and the huffing andd puffing of players running the bases. It's fantastic!

The Huskies may not be having the best season but as with all minor league ball games the atmosphere is wonderful and the entertainment both on and off the pitch great fun. Always a value for money evening out

It's a great way to spend some time with the family. They also have great concession stand food with decent prices. I usually get the nachos because they give you a lot of chips.

Nothing like a ball game in a historic stadium. Lots of family fun. Lots of food options, good prices for tickets and seating areas in or out of the sun. All weather dependent in Duluth :-)

While visiting Duluth, I attended a Huskies game at Wade Stadium with my husband who attended Duluth Dukes games there over 5 decades ago as a boy when he was part of the "knot hole gang". Possibly the only thing that has changed at the stadium since then is the name of team! So why the stellar review? Precisely because it hasn't changed over the decades. It is pure fun to experience a game in a facility that exudes history. Yes, we are used to the gleaming major league ballparks of today. But this made us nostalgic about our youth, and there is something endearing about remembering baseball and its players before the advanced farm systems and multi- million contracts. There is a nice family atmosphere and the games are casual "fun". Plus the BBQ sandwiches are great.

We bought tickets early for a 6:35 Friday night game. They were helpful in answering my questions. We got to the ball park when they said the gates opened, there was a long line but it went fast. It was free hat night and we all managed to get a hat. We sat in section B, row 2 seats 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Great view of the field, reserved seats have a back rest which was a bonus for us. The announcer did a fantastic job of keeping the crown entertained in between batters and innings. Lots of neat stuff for the kids. Food was good, not overly expensive. Didn't know they had different concession stands with different options though, that would have been nice to know. The Huskies came from behind and won 8-7. Great game.

We went to see the Duluth Huskies, as a start of our summer outings. I called the main number and left a message to get information about how accessible the park was. The Head Coach Daniel Hersey of the Huskies called me back and was very informative on how to get tickets, the handicapped accessibility, and how I would be able to sit together with my family.We went on a Sunday June 2nd, 2013 for the Family Pack, you get 4 hot dogs, 4 small sodas, and 2 popcorns for $30.00 on home games. But, we needed an extra ticket for KayMarie with the food options, as well. Head Coach Daniel Hersey said they would charge $10.00 extra for the ticket and food. When we got to the gate to purchase our tickets and mentioned that we needed an extra ticket with the food, it took them awhile to completely understand what we needed. I even told them that the head coach called me and that is the price he said. They charged us the extra $10.00, and we were in. The gate entrance was easily handicapped accessible, I was in my large chair which is bigger than the standard 32" chair. We didn't know where to go for the handicapped seating. The staff were kind, but they would just point directions. It would have been nice to have been ushered, since this was our first time here. We got to the handicapped seating, and there were steps that I had a hard time getting passed. A standard chair would fit just fine, but my chair had to be angled just right to get through. People had to wait for me to get through. They were kind, but I got a bent wheel out of it. The handicapped seating was right next to the teams dugout, which brought an added bonus for Christopher's and Jonathan's first experience at a baseball game. My family was able to sit with me in the handicapped seating area which was great. The Sunday we went, it was a Double Header, and staff had said there was going to be fireworks. But, there was not, which was a little disappointing. That's why we stayed for second game, but, in the long run, it was a long day.Another suggestion we have is having someone at the gate entrance directing visitors with kids to the information booth to sign up for the kids activity contests. Both Christopher and Jonathan asked where they could enter to try to win, we had to tell them that we were not sure. We did have a lot of fun watching the Huskies play and buying a baseball for the meet and greet at the end of the game. Jonathan got to meet the players, and had them sign the baseball. He was really excited to be that close to the players for his first time. It was hard to get the wheelchair through the grass to get to the players, because it was wet and muddy, but it was worth it. For a reasonable, fun time at the ballpark and to support our local team this is a STOP IN.
