Playing the Field

Ask most people and they’ll tell you.. It's not summer without a trip to the ballpark!

Recently, we dropped by Y’alls stadium in Florence for a Y’alls (formerly the Florence Freedom) game.

Let’s start with the prices. Everything is incredibly affordable! Especially for families.

• Tickets are $11 in advance. On game day, they’re $13. 

• Parking…It’s free!

• We were there on “Thirsty Thursday,” so many draft beers were $2! We opted for a Summer Shandy, a large bag of popcorn, an all-beef hot dog...All of that was $14!

Let's talk about the ballpark.

It’s clean, easy to navigate, handicap accessible, and you can keep the kids fidget-free in the Kids Zone! 

The Kids Zone features inflatables, 2 play-scapes and a basketball court.

The Y’alls tell us entry is free but if you want to play on the inflatables, there’s a $5 charge.

“However, if you purchase a Lil’ Y’allers membership, it gives you access to the inflatables for free all season long!”

Trying to catch a foul ball? You're in luck. There are two outfield areas that are open to sit (or stand) in. On this particular game, a group of kids in far right field cleaned up.

Need some Y’alls gear? Drop by the team shop. We grabbed a Y’alls tank top and a hat for $34. (Imagine buying that at the an MLB stadiums!)

Want a picture with the Y’alls mascot? We gotchu! 

The mascot is hard to miss, modeled after the Florence Water Tower. They’ll stop and pose for pics all game long.

Y’alls staff – everyone from behind the scenes, in food service, and on the field – make the game fun and enjoyable. 

You’re truly missing out if you don’t have this on your summer “must-do” list.
