We both agreed that one of our favorite moments from the evening was when the National Anthem was sung by Ms. Once we had our food, we settled into our seats and got ready to watch some baseball. Neither of us actually finished our food because the portions were large! My meal was $10. I ordered a Mint Julep Chicken Sandwich which is described as a grilled chicken patty marinated in bourbon and mint. We landed at the Gravity Grille (semi behind home plate), and though the line looked daunting, it moved rapidly. We are big, big Champy’s fans, but I personally wanted to branch out and try somewhere different to eat. The stadium is entirely cashless, so we used our debit card for all of our purchases. His sandwich and fries were $12, a 32 oz beer was $11 (or $6 for a 16 oz.), and a canned spiked lemonade of sorts was $10. We waited about 10 minutes in the Champy’s line, where my husband ordered a fried chicken sandwich, fries, and a couple of adult beverages for us. With roughly 30 minutes until the first pitch, we had our sites set on dinner. We brought very little with us to the game since there is a strict “clear bags only” policy, so we emptied our pockets before going through the metal detectors and then breezed right in. Plus, every Wednesday dogs are invited to come into the stadium and hang with their owners on the green space (nearish to the outfield along the first baseline), so we enjoyed standing in line and admiring dogs of all breeds and sizes that also seemed excited about their outing. We didn’t mind waiting in line though as the energy was already high Everyone appeared to be light-hearted and excited about going to the game, and seeing a community all united in Trash Pandas apparel was awesome. We were soon greeted by the sight of long lines to get into the stadium itself, but they moved swiftly (we waited 15 minutes max). We now have the CLUTCH! app, which allows ticket holders to purchase pre-paid parking passes at a discounted $6. We paid $10 via our debit card but won’t do that again.

We’d both heard that there was an app one can download in order to secure parking passes ahead of time, but we failed to do so since we were mostly flying by the seat of our pants for this first game after extremely busy days. Thankfully it looks and sounds like improvements to the traffic situation were made extremely fast after opening night one (Bravo, Trash Pandas!), allowing for a super pleasant entry and exit situation for guests. We had heard and read all about the chaos of parking on opening night the night prior (it took some people upwards of two hours to go two miles to get anywhere close to parking), so we knew we wanted to get there with plenty of time to settle in. and flew straight to the parking attendant with zero problems.Ĭonsidering this was just under an hour ahead of the first pitch at 6:35 p.m., we were really happy with our timing. We live in Madison near-ish to County Line Road, so we took County Line to I-565 and headed east to the new ramp. Our First Rocket City Trash Pandas Baseball Game Experience The team is more than a year from making its debut, when the Double-A Mobile BayBears relocate to Madison.Last night my husband and I attended the second ever Rocket City Trash Pandas minor league baseball game against the Tennessee Smokies and enjoyed it immensely! If attending a game is on your radar, here’s a rundown of our experience as first-timers. The nickname Trash Pandas beat out ThunderSharks, Moon Possums, Space Chimps, and Comet Jockeys in the final round of fan voting, and the the geographical identifier Rocket City was chosen over Madison and North Alabama.

The Trash Pandas name caught popular attention almost immediately when it was announced, garnering comparisons to Rocket Raccoon from Guardians of the Galaxy (whom Star Lord derogatorily calls a trash panda), getting a mention in late-night talk show host James Corden’s monologue, and earning the dubious honor of warranting the sale of counterfeit merchandise online.

The full suite of logos has a patriotic theme, tying the raccoon to the aerospace industry that is a large aspect of northern Alabama’s economy and culture. That buzz crescendoed today with the much-anticipated unveiling of logos designed by Brandiose. The new minor league baseball team in Madison, Alabama, won’t make its debut until 2020, but the buzz around the Rocket City Trash Pandas has been growing for almost two months, since the name was announced at the beginning of September.
