I just got back from a vacation in the Carolinas, and had a chance to see a game in Myrtle Beach, the Pelicans. I thought the stadium was very nice, but I have a few complaints about the other aspects of the environment there. First of all, it is not near an interstate, so I took the main route, Rte 17, to get there, and there are no signs from 17 indicating this way to CFF. Once I made the turn off 17 to get to the game, there were no signs near the street indicating which way to get to parking for the stadium. When I got to the box office, I discovered that they raise ticket prices for day of game purchasers. For each of the 5 seating areas and accompanying prices, they have one price for advance buyers and a higher price if you buy it the day of the game. Granted, the increase was only a buck, but it didnt sit well with me. I have been to several other stadiums, and have never seen higher prices for day of game purchases. Also I, on many occasions, couldnt understand the PA announcer and what he was saying. Finally, when I went to get some chow, I ordered 2 hot dogs, and they were the worst ballpark hot dogs I have ever had in my life. So all in all, would I go back there again? Maybe, but only to see the Nationals' affiliate Potomac play there. (They werent playing there this time.) I grade the Pelicans experience a C.
