Champion Stadium At Espn Wide World Of Sports

Great venue for Spring Training baseball. The field is small, but well designed. There’s not a bad seat in it. It’s pricey, but you get what you pay for. We went to a Braves — Yankees game, so it was packed.
But even with that, the beer and snack lines on the second level were always short, though prices were relatively high. There wasn’t much of a beer selection.
The complex seems cool too, but all we saw really was the ESPN restaurant, which was underwhelming. I’ve been to much cooler sportsbars, with better beer selections and more TVs. The bar has limited seating and a whole section that’s basically shut off from everyone and everything. There aren’t enough TVs. Yes, at the ESPN sportsbar, there aren’t enough TVs.
The gift shop was nice, but didn’t have much. Even a Braves fan we talked to was disappointed. They had one Yankees cap style for sale, that my dad joked was more tattered than the 10 year old one I was already wearing (the one for sale was designed to look worn, but still).
The gift shop in the stadium itself was just as good (nearly all Braves stuff) but they at least had a Spring Training shirt with all the team logos on it. I’d have liked a Spring Training cap as well, but no go.
Anyway, great place for a game, everything was just OK. I’d expect more from ESPN on the extras. I remember being disappointed in the ESPN restaurant in Chicago a couple years ago. If they don’t want to do restuarants right, they should leave it to someone who does.
Also, we took a cab from Magic Kingdom, and the ride was quick and not too expensive. It was easy to get a cab after the game, and a good way to get out quickly. Props to the employee who was directing everyone to cabs, he was doing a great job.

Typical Disney. Stadium is top notch with a friendly staff and a beautiful environment.
But be wary of your food choices.
$ 8.50 Hot Dog Combo consisted of a 4 inch dog and a 4 oz bag of chips. Found out later on that you could at least get fries if you bought on the first floor.
We were ready to buy nachos until they pulled out a small Tostitos scoops bag and a cup of fake cheese. Like really?
On a more positive note, security did not stop us from bringing in a few of our own snacks and sodas. Bring your own food, don’t pay these ridiculous prices.

This is a great venue for baseball. I have been here many times. It has a small quaint hometown baseball stadium feel to it.
It’s Disney, so they do it up right.
If you go to a 1PM spring training game here. I recommend you sit first-​base way up high in the bleachers. You’ll be in the shade the whole time. Anywhere else and you’ll be in that hot Florida sun.
Play ball!

Wow! Nice park, however my experience was totally ruined when we left the park and it took us 50 minutes to move our car one car-​length in the parking lot!!! Apparently they only have one way out! THIS IS NOT COOL, DISNEY!!! Every other Disney attraction I’ve been to in Orlando has been great (except the prices!) however, this one parking experience was SO horrible, my husband and I vowed NEVER to return (Sorry Atlanta Braves!) We had been having a good time up until we had to leave. We had to get home to a babysitter and for us to only move one car-​length in 50 minutes– UNBELIEVABLE! We even drove around the parking lot (once we were actually ABLE to move) and there were gridlock lines everywhere trying to GET OUT!!! We were extremely disappointed, Disney. Don’t you DARE try to charge for parking until you fix this issue!!!

What is not more perfect than a beer and a baseball game. NOT Much. This was my first time at the Wide World of Sports where the Braves play their spring baseball and I was very impressed. Of course being part of Disney you expect nothing less. Parking was free, Beer was cold, bathrooms clean and no matter where your seats are, you have a good view. The only downfall is when the game is over it is a mad house to get out of there. If only it didn’t have one way in and one way out but that is not going to get me to give it 4 stars.

Great stadium! Disney keeps this place in top notch condition all year long. I have the pleasure of utilizing the visitors locker room for some baseball events here and it is magnificent. Couches, showers, TV, and everything else you can want in a locker room. The Stadium itself, it is pristine. Concessions available for all events held there. Plentiful seating and a great view of the field from anywhere within the complex. Staff are always friendly and accommodating.

I have been here several over the years, and boy oh boy, do you ever get an experience! I was here specifically for Braves spring training, and the weather was perfect, facilities were perfect, and there was plenty to do for the kids, which isn’t the case for some spring training facilities. I was fully expecting this, as the park is near all things Disney. I saw several kids having the best time of their life so far, from getting popcorn, baseball, sunshine, running the bases after the game, the list can go on. The parking was very organized compared to other places as well. There was plenty of parking attendants, well placed, and directing traffic. There was hardly traffic after the game. Pretty good for mobilizing 9,000+ fans!
A+ facility, plenty to do, see, eat, places for others to compete, a must see if you’re so inclined to catching baseball in Orlando.

Very clean and nice smaller ball park. It’s fairly new and owned by Disney so you it’s kept well.

This is the spring training home of the Atlanta Braves, formerly known as Cracker Jack Stadium and located inside the Walt Disney World Resort. I came here on March 1, 2013 for a Nationals vs. Braves game.
The park is very nice. It’s new, there are plenty of bathrooms, and it’s one of those small stadiums where most every seat is good. There are some lawn seats which look like fun if you have kids (no lawn chairs allowed but blankets are ok) because your kids can run around and try to catch home runs or foul balls.
There are a decent variety of food options. They have your basic burgers, hot dogs, and peanuts, and then a few bbq options such as pulled pork and brisket sandwiches. Nothing was very gourmet. I had a cheesesteak which was basically steak-​umms and cheese sauce on a hot dog bun with a few fried onions and peppers. There was also an «all you care to eat» tent, but I didn’t really look into the details of that.
I have two complaints that kept this from being a 5 star experience. First, the ticket price. We bought our tickets on the day of the game at the stadium entrance. We paid $ 42 a seat, and we were in the last row of Section 110, behind the home team dugout.
I don’t know if they would have been much cheaper if we bought further ahead because, looking at the prices for the rest of spring training online, it seems to really depend on the date and which team they are playing. I think spring training games are supposed to be cheap, sometimes you’re don’t even get to see the stars of the team play, and should be more affordable for a family than a regular season game. Tickets at the Braves’ home stadium in Atlanta, Turner Field, can be had for cheaper than $ 42, as can tickets at Yankees Stadium which is always used as the example of expensive.
My second complaint is that all of the lines — for food, tickets, drinks, etc. moved very slowly. The spring training season had only been open for about a week (just 4 earlier games at Championship Stadium this season) so maybe they were still working the kinks out and training employees. There was an option, though, to buy a larger souvenir cup of beer and get free refills. I saw a lot of people who were waiting in long lines missing the game for their refills and getting very annoyed. For the cheesesteaks, they had put a big frozen block of steak-​umms on the grill and were defrosting them as they were cooking so that each order took a while. Just like at a movie theater, when you’re paying to see the main attraction, you want to get your refreshments quickly and get back to the game.
There were fireworks at the end of the game, even though the Braves lost, so that was fun but we were already headed out to the parking lot when they started so I wish they had announced it ahead of time so that we knew to stick around for them.
On the plus side, parking was free and they had a large golf cart shuttling visitors from the far end of the parking lot to the complex entrance so that it was easier for seniors or people with disabilities to get in. They had live music in the form of a 4 piece band in vintage baseball uniforms and the typical between-​innings fun and games.
I’ve been to a lot of stadiums — major league, minor league, and spring leagues and seeing them all is on my bucket list. Overall, this is a beautiful park and it was a fun experience. I would go again, but next time I’d probably do some research to find more affordable tickets ahead of time.
