Ironbirds Stadium

We bid on and won tickets to the Ironbirds game at the Silent Auction at TPP.  We scheduled our game for later in the season and chose one with fireworks at the end.  Prior to the game, we had stopped for dinner and made sure that both boys took a nap in hopes that they would make it to the end of the game.

We had to mail our certificate for the tickets to the Ironbirds office and when we arrived, they didn't have all 4 of our tickets in the envelope.  It took a little bit longer to process but we were rewarded with fantastic seats.

The boys were immediately enamored by the mascots.  Rip Cord was the first one that walked our way.  Both boys wasted no time at all to get a photo opportunity with him.  

After we returned to our seats, we secured some cotton candy to satisfy our sugar fix. 

After Jackson finished his cotton candy, he spent some time closer to the field and was able to secure a high five from Rip Cord. 

Next up was the official Ironbird mascot, Ferrous.  Jackson raced to get a picture with him.  Connor missed out but we eventually found him later in the night and he happily obliged his request for a picture. 

After several innings in what may have been the longest minor league game ever (no exaggeration), we picked up some tokens and the boys were able to have some fun playing the games. 

It was a late night but it was so much fun.  We made it to the fireworks and the Ironbirds made it an interesting game by not giving up.  There were rally gals and dancing and a race among the mascots. The small stadium fosters a great environment and puts you almost on the field.  Definitely a must do for next year!!!
