By far one of my favorite things to do in Fort Wayne is to watch the TinCaps play at Parkview Field.

The TinCaps Baseball Game Experience

The TinCaps are a High-A Minor League baseball team who play in a top ranked ballpark in the heart of downtown Fort Wayne.

Since the ballpark is situated downtown you not only have a great view of the game but also a picturesque view of the downtown buildings in the background. And affordable lawn seats behind the outfield offer a fantastic view of spectacular summer sunsets.

If you need any more convincing to go and see a game for yourself (which I highly doubt), I suggest going to a game on a Thursday night. 

Thursdays are my favorite for one simple reason: Beer night. Not only do you get to enjoy a great game at a beautiful ballpark, but you also get to drink beer until the 7th inning at an affordable price.

Even if you aren’t a big beer drinker there are many other great food and drink options, so don’t be hesitant about going to a game on a “Thirsty” Thursday.

The TinCaps also have other festive nights including Family Feast Night on Mondays where hot dogs, soda, popcorn, and slices of pizza are all on sale for a discounted price. Finally, there are weekend nights where they have post-game fireworks, and who doesn’t love that?

As a side note: while you can buy tickets online, that option closes two hours prior to the start of each game. If you give the ticket office a call at 260-482-6400 they will be happy to reserve your seats! For more info on the TinCaps, check out their website.
