Sugarland Skeeters!

Astros, who?? Move over- there is a NEW baseball team in town! Our family visited the new Baseball stadium in Sugarland, Constellation Field. It is home to our new minor league team, the Sugarland Skeeters. Do not be fooled- there is nothing minor about this! The field is beautiful! There is lawn seating available in the outfield, there is a splash pad and park and a bar located directly next to the lawn seating. The food choices were great and the entire atmosphere was wonderful. They have kids run the bases, fireworks on fridays, and a ton of other give-aways and activities. The best part?? It is SUPER AFFORDABLE and the parking is FREE! Check it out! www.sugarlandskeeters.com
