Take Me Out to the Ballgame

     What's a better way to spend a summer evening than watching the hometown boys play some baseball? St.Cloud's collegiate summer team is named the Rox after the minor league baseball team that played here in St. Cloud many years ago.

     Games are played at the Joe Faber Field in west St.Cloud.  Tickets for Rox home games are available at the St. Cloud Rox Box Office located just outside the gates of Joe Faber Field on game days beginning 90 minutes prior to the scheduled start of that day's game. Tickets can also be purchased by stopping in at the Rox business office located at the west end of the Municipal Athletic Complex, or calling (320) 240-9798 from 9am to 3 hours prior to game time.  Tickets can be purchased online at www.stcloudrox.com 
24 hours a day.

     Tickets may be purchased at the Rox business office (located at the west end of the MAC) on non-game days Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm, by calling (320) 240-9798 or on www.stcloudrox.com

     We chose to purchase our tickets through the Value Connection which has a booth at the Crossroads Mall. These were for General Admission (seats in the Rock pile) which really weren't too bad for the price as you can see from these photos. Be advised that until the sun starts to set it does get in your eyes if you don't wear a hat. There are also no backs on these seats.

    Besides the cheap seats there are more comfortable seats with backs behind home plate. Another option is The Sports Deck. It offers up to 400 fans a festive atmosphere while providing unlimited food, soft drinks, and $1 beers during every Rox home game through the 7th inning. Check the website for cost and more details.
     One more option is The 3rd Base Terrace which is located on top of the third base dugout It offers groups of 35 or more an exclusive seating area and hospitality during a Rox game of your choice.  Your group will get a meal grilled on site, along with unlimited soft drinks and beer through the 7th inning. 

      What makes the Rox games especially fun are the activities between innings. Fans are chosen to participate and have the opportunity to win prizes. These human balls were a hoot to watch! The Rox also have promotions for their games. Fans might get a piggy bank, a Rox poster or a Rox hat to name a few. Friday night fireworks are a hit too.

     Rox baseball is fun for all ages--from the very young to the older folks. Add in a hot dog, peanuts and CrackerJacks (and possibly some beer) and you've got a great way to take in a summer evening!
