Lancaster Jethawks Professional Baseball

Definitely eat before you go. Rancid peanuts,
Yuk! Pretzel under cooked, bbq brisket sandwich combo not worth the $ 13.50 and the bbq hamburger from the side of the field was so bad my brother threw it in the garbage. He should have told the person it was bad and got his $ 6.50 back but he just threw it away. I brought my peanuts to the office after the game and was given my $ 3.50 back with an apology and another bag of peanuts.
When we opened those at home they were more rancid than the first bag!
Other than the food being so awful the game was great. Hopefully someday they will get a better vendor than the one running the food now. Half the fun of going to a game is eating all the ballpark goodies. My brothers were visiting from Flagstaff so I was disappointed their experience was terrible.

First time here. We had a lot of fun!!! Chill and fun evening of baseball. Go to the stand that has the three tacos– they were pretty good. You get to sit way closer than with major league baseball and you feel like you’re part of the action. A fun way to spend an evening!

Going to Lancaster anytime soon? Well make sure to stop by this place.
Conveniently located near the freeway for a fast exit/​entrance. Watch the future of MLB (minors team for the Houston Astros) for a cheap price and spend some quality time with the family.
This stadium is very family oriented, they provide these inflatable slides, jumpers, a jethawk mascot, amongst other things for the kiddies to play and interact.
Parking is $ 5 (cash only), I will also mention they have dipNdots (cash only) I believe the large was $ 6 and small $ 4.50 with three flavor options. –basically bring a good amount of cash.
They do have food stands which provide the basics. We got chili cheese nachos and a regular hot dog… It’s nothing fancy. If you go off to the side near home and first there is a stand that sells jalapeño sausage and a 2ft hot dog… Seems like a fancy thing but it’s also cash. For the beer drinkers it’s $ 7! The water and sodas I want to say were $ 3.50.
We went on a Sunday, so it was not packed, and they don’t seem to be strict enforcing you to sit where you paid. The staff appeared friendly interacting with the people and the kids.
They also handed out froyo coupons of a local spot if you reside in the area.
Overall I had a lovely time and we didn’t have kids but just got a good vibe and watched some baseball.
I definitely look forward to coming again.

Nothing but a fun atmosphere, i love coming to Jethawks game. Very family oriented, good food, cheap beer. You want entertainment for the family without breaking your bank account, come see the Jethawks play!

My family and I love going to see the Jethawks play. It’s a great place and very family oriented. My kids love this place and we have a lot of fun every time we go. They have jumpers and other fun things for the kids to do for free which is awesome. Staff is very friendly too. Just wish they would improve their food. The sodas were flat and I ordered a pretzel with cheese and the pretzel was very hard.

Baseball for $ 14 behind home plate… how can you not love that? They now offer seat cushions, which is nice and they still have in-​seat food orders. They don’t offer everything that you can get if you were to stand in line for food yourself, their menu is a little short. They also, no longer serve beer in the seats :(Our waitress said it had something to do with management. Oh well.
My husband and I had a great time here last Saturday 04/​25, and we definitely will be back for more games this season.
I got the $ 8.50 combo, which is a hot dog, peanuts and a soda. The food could be a little better; I bought a churro which was burnt and cold, and my hot dog had a weird sweet flavor to it.
The staff we’re really friendly and someone is always saying hello as you pass by. This is definitely a place that is family oriented.
Our pre-​show was a bunch of younger kids dancing, they were all wonderful. The tiny-​tots were adorable, dancing to some song about mermaids.
Since it was free jethawlks jersey night, there was a bunch of people in line early. Sadly, we didn’t get one, but it’s okay. I would rather buy the one inside for $ 70, since it looks better made.

Not sure what happened to service from one year to the next but yesterday it was absolute horrible people taking orders had a bit of attitude u ask for something and they would tell u they r not really, even though your watching them just standing there .food big downgrade and it’s gone up in price… only reason to go is to actually watch the game believe me their food is just not like it was last year.

Great value watching the Jethawks. Only complaint is during playoffs they need to have more than one concession stand open.

The Lancaster JetHawks provide a first class, family friendly operation. If you are in the Antelope Valley and looking for a fun sports experience or a night out and don’t want to drive all the way to LA to see the Dodgers, this is a great option.
PARKING:
Ample parking is had for $ 5. Some of the parking is covered by solar panels. If you park right next to the stadium there is probably a small chance that your car may get hit by a foul ball. It looks like some people park at Cinemark and walk over and I saw some people park in an empty lot nearby but that is probably frowned upon.
STADIUM:
The Hangar is pretty much the twin of San Manuel Stadium in San Bernardino (home of the IE 66ers). Rather than having a southwestern/​mission façade, it has a fairly plain façade with sandy tones and glass. It almost looks like a nice office park from the outside. The thing that sets it apart from San Bernardino or any other minor league park is an FA-​18 Hornet jet mounted in the front of the stadium honoring the aerospace industry in the Antelope Valley.
The seating bowl has two levels and all the seats have real folding chairs and cup holders. In addition to the netting behind the plate there is also a short net along the tops of the dugouts (as also found in Rancho Cucamonga). This provides protection from foul balls but if you want an unobstructed view you may want to sit in the upper level behind the dugouts or down the lines past the dugouts. If you want to splurge, you can get waiter service in the seats on the lower level right behind the plate. It can get really hot in Lancaster with seats on the third base side getting shade first as the sun goes down.
EXPERIENCE:
The JetHawks have some kind of promotion virtually every night including discount tickets, food and drink specials, and fireworks. On Sundays kids can play catch on the field before the game and can run the bases after the game. This is always a hit for the little ones. The players are also happy to sign autographs down the third base where the bullpen is completely uncovered and the pitchers just hang out on folding chairs. There is a bounce house and bounce house slide in the right field corner. Wrist bands will set you back $ 8, which is pretty steep given that a ticket to the game costs $ 8.
All the workers (tickets, concessions, ushers) were extremely friendly, giving things somewhat of a down home, Midwestern feel.
FOOD & DRINK:
The Hangar provides a wide selection of food options from loaded hot dogs, wraps, and bbq sandwiches to the heart attack in a bowl called the Hawk’s Nest which consists of onion strings, chicken fries (chicken nuggets shaped like chunky french fries), chili, and cheese. They ran out of ice cream on the night we were here so I couldn’t indulge in a root beer float but they still had shaved ice, Dippin Dots and other treats.

All in all, a great experience. Food was great, do yourself a favor and sit behind home plate or toward the visitors side for shade during evening games-​or bring shade with you!
Good «between inning» entertainment of the same caliber as I’ve seen in any other minor league ballpark. «Kaboom» the mascot does as much as he can tolerate in this heat-​understandably! (those costumes are HOT INSIDE!) LOVE the dugout nets to keep SCREAMING FOUL TIPS out of the crowd-​seen parks with and without them-​as a spectator, I prefer them.
Concession lines are quick, food until the 9^th inning is a great touch. (They ran out of ice cream, but not frozen lemonade-​THANKFULLY!)

I’ve lived in Lancaster my entire life so far and The Hangar opened its gates for its first season when I was in preschool. From working concessions for dance fundraisers as a kid to getting one of my first beers here with my dad when I turned 21, Jethawks baseball was a huge part of my childhood, and remains very special to me to this day. It still amazes me that a small, middle-​of-​nowhere desert town like Lancaster could have a minor league stadium like Clear Channel.
I’ve always found the park to be clean and safe. The seating is actually pretty nice and comfortable, and there are beer and concession stands located all over the place. Whether you want drinks, food, cotton candy, or ice cream, you’re not going to have to go very far to get it. The food and service in the skyboxes is really good, and if you’ve never spent the extra money to watch at least one game from a skybox, I highly recommend it.
There aren’t many places to go in Lancaster that get the community to socialize. The Hangar is one of the few exceptions. Everyone here is always so friendly, I always have a blast talking with the people around me, and they generally are actually very knowledgeable about baseball and the Jethawks as a team. In addition, they have so many fun themed nights with giveaways and promotions. They also have killer fireworks shows throughout the summer and on the 4^th of July. Tonight was regretfully my last night at The Hangar, because I’m moving away, but I’ve had so many amazing memories here, and I can’t wait to come back and visit and enjoy some summer ball!

This review is 100% based on how much my daughter loves coming here. Since a day or night in a ballpark is a great day, why not express it here.
This is my third time coming to the Hanger, and I have loved it every time. The jet hawks are the minor league affiliate to the Astro now, but they were the Red Socks last time I was here. First you go online and pick exactly where you want to sit. I recommend this because you don’t hold anyone up if your indecisive, and, you can choose your row, seat, and section. Next, you print out your tickets and you’re ready to go. (Tickets were $ 8-​Adult, $ 7-​children, but they are more at the door, I’ve heard.)
You pull up and it’s only $ 5 to park. It isn’t that large of a parking lot, so parking far away isn’t really a concern. Then you’re at the ballpark. As you walk in, they check your bags, backpacks, purses and coolers. If you think it might be cold, take a blanket, the little fleece throws they sell don’t keep you warm, are small, and are $ 40. (I don’t recommend buying one, I have 3, but at least they’re cute.)
The service here is always friendly and warm, at least the people I have dealt with. We usually walk up and get a couple dogs or hamburger, since my daughter actually craves this. I think its just a plain burger, but she loves these things. Add a couple of pretzels, some peanuts, and some drinks and you are ready to PLAY BALL!!!
The seats are nice, and since it is a small park, they are always great seats. They have a children’s play area, a pitching booth to test your arm, and a grassy area that everyone sits and rolls around in. Every 7^th or 8^th inning, the kids get to run out on the field and chase Kaboom, he is the Jethawks Mascot.
All in all, it is a warm and friendly family experience. We have seen kids at their first ballgame, to date night, to a woman not being able to go on her honeymoon, because I think she married one of the players, but I couldn’t hear her entire conversation. If you are up this way, and you enjoy baseball, I highly recommend catching a game, just make sure you are ready and paying attention, they hit a lot of foul balls…

I personally have never been to a minor league game prior to my visit. For it being a «A-​league» game we had a lot of fun. The stadium is not too large but not small either, which allows the staff and players to really get involved with the fans.
There is plenty to do for the kids and more than enough beer selection for the adults. In fact they have a «Kinetic Brewery» beer garden. A local chain with delicious craft beer. The best thing about it is that it’s $ 6 a beer. A craft beer at a ball game for $ 6 — unheard of.
At the end of the game they let all the kids run the bases, that is what won us over.
Go Jethawks!

I love minor league games!
This ballpark is somewhat new. It reminds me of the Stockton ports. $ 10 for game day tickets. It was a very warm day but plenty of shade behind the home dugout of the JetHawks.
It was easy to find and parking was right off the road for $ 5. Right across the movie theater so you can’t miss this place.
The food had reasonable prices. Well cheap comparing to major league games. Water was $ 3. On field fitted 59fifty hats are $ 25. Some very cute lady employees here .
Game went by quick. A great number of people showed and you have a higher chance of nabbing a ball here for a souvenir! Would have been awesome if they have icees but they had some shaved ice for sale.
Great small ballpark overall and they get the kids involved with lots of running on the field!

I’m a little biased because I worked here for two seasons in the ticket office, so, keep that in mind as you read my happy little review.
I love JetHawks games for multiple reasons:
1) Ticket prices… they’re super affordable. $ 10 for Preferred Grandstand and $ 13 (I think) for Club… which has waitress service! And if you think that’s too expensive, keep an eye out for local coupon deals or come on Make-​a-​Difference Monday when there’s always a special where you bring a specific item (mentioned on Facebook) with you to the box office and you’ll get a FREE Preferred Grandstand ticket. Parking is $ 5, but that is often lumped into those local coupon deals.
2) Relaxed atmosphere… you feel like you’re watching a hometown team with real hometown fans who become friends. It’s true. There is definitely a sense of community and pride within the people who attend these games. Go and feel these happy-​warm-​fuzzies for yourself!
3) Beer… you can get your staple American megabrewers, but you can also enjoy a local microbrew at the Kinetic Brewing Beer Garden. Totally worth the extra money (meaning the $ 1 more than a domestic draft!).
One thing I’m bummed about is that they removed the fighter jet (is that what it was?) that greeted you as you walked into the Hangar. Don’t know why they removed this icon, and it is sad not seeing it welcome you to current homestand game, but it just isn’t the same and having a ring of golden poppies is nice, but, meh.
EDITED TO ADD — I found out that the jet is getting refurbed and will be returning! YAY! Hopefully it will be back home in June. That’ll be nice.
Also wanted to mention that Rachel, the beer bartender at the Kinetic Brewing Beer Garden, is one awesome possum. Super sweet and really great. Go see her for good beer!

We had an absolute blast here. Clean, easy to get to, easy parking (and easy out!), family friendly, fairly priced concessions. So much better and more relaxing for a family than a Dodgers game. Hot dogs $ 3, beer batter specials means $ 2 beers if a certain batter gets the hit, picnic areas, nice players, not a single complaint from any of us.

I get free tickets from work now and then. Good way to get out of the house once and a while.

The stadium is a great place to go on a weekend evening.
There is plenty of seating, a lot of it is in the sun so wear sunscreen and dress cool in the summer time. There are a variety of concession stands where you can get Dip-​n-​Dots or a burger/​hotdog. There are some choice beers and cocktails for those 21 and up.
My most recent experience included purchasing the club seating online ($ 12.00/seat) and finding myself front row directly behind home plate. I guess if you pay at the stadium it becomes $ 13.00/ seat but one dollar– big deal right?
If you purchase club seating, you are welcomed with a menu with a variety of snacks and drinks to choose from where you will be served directly to your seat. They do accept a card and the food isn’t too shabby but it is a little pricey, so I recommend filling up at home and just getting a drink or a snack. They stop serving around the 7^th inning I think.
Also, I would like to take a moment to express my joy that the bathrooms are clean. Hallelujah! I mean with so many people going in and out I was expecting a complete mess but I was pleasantly surprised as to how nice they were. Kudos to the cleaning crew.
Anyway, parking is $ 5 but I always park at the theater towards the back and make the short walk to the stadium to avoid that cost.
There is plenty to do for kids too. They normally have a couple jumpers set up to entertain hyperactive children and the Jethawks mascot, Kaboom, is very interactive with the children. They have fun activities where kids under 12 can chase Kaboom across the field. It is an over all good time for people of all ages.

I never knew that Lancaster had a ballpark. Then again I’m not from the area. I just don’t understand why baseball games are soooo long and we even arrived late. I’m not complaining, I’m just saying.
Anyways…I love this place. It’s a perfect place to head to for a good time. I came her (late) to see the Lancaster JetHawks vs Lake Elsinore. It was a great game and the weather was nice too. There was even a rainbow in the background. I like how this place is really well kept. The grounds looked clean, the restrooms were clean and so were the seats of the stadium. We also did not get charged for parking so that was a treat in itself and we were sitting in the «winning» section so we got a gift card to some wings place which I will probably never get to use… sadness!
I do have to say that the plane/​jet or whatever it is in the front entrance is aesthetically pleasing.
Go Lancaster JetHawks!!!

The Houston Astros affiliate Lancaster JetHawks are really horrible this year. But, this is a nice minor league ballpark and the fans are knowledgeable and have fun. Since, I was really here to see the San Jose Giants, I was fine with a blowout game which featured about 6 homerunns and over 20 hits. The elevation is high any the wind blows out. This particular weekend, the JetHawks honored aerospace and had 3 retired NASA Astronauts throw out the first pitch.
Great find and only about 50 – 60 miles from LA.
