Big League Dreams

They have air-​conditioning. That’s about it. They charge parents $ 10 admission to tournaments on which you play on cement like dirt infields. USSSA drags longer tournaments out just so the venue can kill you with high salty food prices and that ridiculous admission fee. The entire Big League Dreams operation is over-​rated. The WORST fields we’ve ever played on with facades set up to look like real ballparks. They’re too cheap to even put in astro-​turf infields. The umps have never been good and are vindictive so keep that in mind when you question a call. It’s a novelty when you’re young but after 10 years old… consider other options.

This place is an absolute joke. enough said. but i’ll go on to say their fields are just as horrible as the umpires they use. Joke. do not go here. I would recommend ANY other BLD. Save yourself the grief of paying $ 5 everytime you walk through for a horsecrap experience. Would rather play in the middle of a street with a blind man umpiring.

this is a zero star rating ( Unilocal is requiring a star to post)

It’s pouring down rain right now and the top manager here (well not physically here because he’s NEVER on the premises), Mike Street, refuses to cancel games. The concrete is super slick and I’ve almost fallen twice; as well as the fields have PUDDLES AND ARE SOAKED, these conditions are set up for injury. In the past, other managers have cancelled games if there was as much as a single drop of rain. I do not appreciate the fact that he refuses to cancel games just so he can get a few bucks. It’s just plain sad. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a few injuries before the night is over. Since I have to give a star to post I’m putting one. But if I could give half a star id be generous. This place is more like zero stars

If you’re thinking of playing in their adult softball league here, DONT! Our team has been playing here for a little over a year and EVERY season there has been a major issue. When your team manager has to call the park weekly to point out some screw up that was made, you know there’s a problem.
I’m not sure who is running the show here but management is very poor. Employees who do the scheduling clearly don’t communicate, are not detail oriented and make a major screw ups every season. Employees who work at night show zero interest if you bring a problem to their attention, it seems they’ve just been trained to say… «There’s nothing I can do,»; Fields are crap, score boards don’t work, Umpires don’t pay attention at all, food and facilities are crap, and if by some chance you make it to a championship game, be sure you’re playing a team that is actually in your division!
You would think for a place that has to BEG teams to play, they would try a little harder at doing things better.
So sorry BLD. We’re leaving and going back to Rancho! Bye Felicia…

Finally got it done. fixed 4 machines for them 2 weeks ago so all the baseball cages working. good place to take bp or play on a real field.

Dirty, expensive, dirty, poor customer service, dirty, cook staff eating in kitchen, dirty.

This place sucks. If you’re going to play softball play somewhere else like Reid Park. You have to pay a $ 3 fee every time which is dumb. Umpires are unprofessional and suck. Fields ain’t nothing special. Don’t come here. Won’t even give you a refund if your game got cancelled. Play somewhere else.

OK walk in.. Absolutely NO CUSTOMER SERVICE. No welcome into the park. Girls at register are snoody. Place is dirty, you would think they would actually clean the stands and bleachers. Yuck, beer just stuck to your seat.
Don’t eat the hot dogs fyi. Just don’t. Trust me.
Inside it’s just pure mariachi music. Noting against it.. But a little mix Spanish & English would be great!
Staff just sucks.
Who ever manages this place should be replaced with a REAL MANAGER.
there are so many places for improvement and profit that will never be touched! Good luck. hopefully you don’t stick your foot into a gopher hole on the field!

It’s a long strip of baseball fields. It would have been nice if it was more in a circular shape.

This place sucks. There are ZERO perks to playing at BLD. Last season we played the same team every week because instead of telling us there wasn’t enough players for the season, they took our money and we endured the worst soccer season of our lives. For $ 60 a season plus $ 3 per game, you’d think they could afford to hire staff that actually liked their jobs. And the refs! oh the refs, well they’re the worst I’ve ever encountered. Heaven forbid you have a significant other and kids that must got with you, that $ 3 a game per person adds up!

For having to pay $ 5.00 for admission plus another dollar for players you would think that they would at least offer clean bathroom facilities, but no not at this facility. All the bathrooms were horrible and when you mentioned it to management they just pretty much ignored the problems. The fields are decent but by far not as good as the fields in Chino Hills and West Covina. The employees were ok but the customer service needs improvement as well. Yes the kids enjoy playing here but for what you pay to get in the least you should get is some clean fields and most important some clean bathrooms.

Super nice fields, the restaurant and BAR are a bonus.

Worst place to play. Doesn’t compare to any of the other Bld parks. The umpires are completely unprofessional and don’t control the games. Poor quality fields and dirty bathrooms. Definitely not worth paying to play or get in.

My daughter finished her showcase here over the weekend. Paid $ 5 to get in a increase from the $ 3 still get a $ 1 token to use towards snack bar. But didn’t have to pay for the player like in the past. Still can’t bring in outside food or drinks. But they didn’t check our bags like other BLDs. Arcade area was FILTHY and only ²⁄₇ games worked or turned on, asked if they could turn on rest of the games and they never
did so they didn’t get my money. Outside play area unsafe with holes in netting that covers playground also a slide missing with plywood covering entrance to slide, and no cover shade over play area. Chevelas are delicious worth $ 8.95. But everything overpriced they make a killing at these BLDs.

Put some of the $ 1000 in beer I give you back into these shit fields and scoreboards.

Not the nicest of the Big League of Dreams fields. Definately older and worn looking. You have to pay each time you enter. Food is overpriced and I don’t think they even offer free wi-​fi though they have it. The club house is looking worse and worse. The vinyl chairs are peeling and carpet is dirty. Definately needs a makeover. If I have to pay to watch my son play, at least give me free wi-​fi!

This place gets worse and worse every season. I know the main focus is on baseball, but then why offer indoor soccer at all? The worse part is having to pay $ 3 every time you come in, regardless of being a «registered» player. The administration is quite unprofessional to boot.
The indoor soccer field is poorly maintained. It definitely looks like it’s been neglected for quite some time. The game balls are pretty beat and almost warping. In the 3 years I played there, I only saw them a new ball once.
There’s also a lack of regulation when it comes to the people that play on your team. There’s a required «player fee» (9 mandatory per team), but no credentials are given. This means any team can get away with having more players and not registering them. The only time they actually check players is for playoffs by trying to match ID’s to the name on the record.
The referees are terrible as well. I think BLD is where World Cup referees come to train. All jokes aside, the refereeing really is bad. That’s if they decide to show up. The refs are constantly showing favoritism to teams that have their friends on them. So much that they awarded 5 pks to a team in one night so that they could win the final.
Look for a soccer league elsewhere, or at another BLD. Not here!

First I wanna say that I really loved the experience of sitting inside at the bar area and getting to watch the game at the same time! that was awesome! the last 3 fields which surround that bar/​snack bar area are very nice, stadium seats outside, inside you get to eat and watch the game at the same time and it feels like you’re sitting VIP getting to watch your child play ball, feels like it brings out the true meaning to this place’s name «big league dreams» I liked it. 16 oz Draft beers were $ 2.95– not bad at all for those! I read many reviews on here before coming to this place and there were lots of negative comments, well, I’m glad I went to get my own feel, HOWEVER, I will agree, to pay to get in, sucked– ONLY when you have to be on the other fields which have no shade and (no inside bar/​snack bar which made it totally worth the $ 8 day pass)… we played in a 4 day tournament so the last 2 days we were on fields which had no shade, just like any regular baseball park, I felt that $ 8 was a rip off being that we had already payed to get into the tournament in the first place… the other downfall was not being able to bring in your own drinks and snacks, which by the way, ok fine you guys are running a business I get it (food and drinks were pricey though) but what really upset me is that my son couldn’t take in his Gatorade that he had in his bat bag… (grant it, the field people provide a water dispenser for all of the boys with cups, like in the big leagues– which i really thought was cool) but common, players should be able to take Gatorade not have to buy it there… anyway… all in all, I enjoyed it no matter what down falls, the good definitely out weighed the bad… and I also heard that all of the other Big League Dreams fields were really nice too so I’m excited to visit them all if I can…
P. S. there is a playground for the little ones located near the fields which makes it awesome for the little bothers and sisters who don’t care or have the patience to watch a ball game ;)

Sunday Softball! What’s better than spending some quality time here with family and watching my husband play?! That’s what our Sundays are all about. My husband has been playing at this location for the past two years. He became the manager of his own softball team about a year ago, however, though it’s all about the fun most the time, this recreational field has its drawbacks.
Entrance fees/​Playing Fees: The player fees are $ 60 per each player, per each season. If there are 25 teams playing on Sundays with 12 players, the profit per season is $ 18,000 for this recreational business. This does not include the other teams who play other days of the week. The reason for this breakdown is to inform that every single person, including players who have already paid for the season, are charged $ 3.00 every time they come in to play. I find it unfair that the players and managers are charged again for every entrance to their game (s). At the least, they should be the ones excluded from these fees, and if they want to charge all other fans who come to watch, that would be fair.
Food/​Drinks: The menu is limited and pricey, but this is expected like any ballpark you visit. There are two main locations where you can purchase food and drinks. One located right by the entrance on the left, which has outside seating. The second location is further back on the opposite end of the entrance and it has inside seating.
If you have kids: They have a playground you can take them to if they can’t sit still throughout the game. They also have ramps that are easy for stroller access and wheelchair access.
Restrooms: They are somewhat unclean, but most public restrooms at ballparks aren’t 5 stars.
Extras: They have hitting cages for baseball and softball speeds. Hm, they also have a soccer field, but we’d rather watch baseball! ;-) Most umpires are respectful and fair. Pets allowed, but food and drinks are NOT allowed (unrealistic – but just sneak them in your sports bags or purse!)
Actual Park and Field (s): As far as the scenery goes, I appreciate the small details such as the replica fields which include: Fenway Park, Polo Grounds, and Forbes Field. I personally think the giant baseball lighting poles are perfect!
We enjoy baseball and softball and having a good time, and would appreciate this location more if the owners would be a little more considerate about their players.

Very disappointed! Restrooms were dirty, Admission and food are too expensive. Not enough parking for tournaments. Grounds are well maintained and admission staff was friendly.

Oh wow! I’m spoiled! The 2 other times I’ve played a BLD park was in Las Vegas. Apparently the Vegas location is the newest while the Mira Loma location is one of the oldest.
Spoiled spoiled! Mira Loma compared to Las Vegas is night and day. Apparently they play so many games at Mira Loma, the staff at Mira Loma forgets to keep the fields in good shape (consider everyone has to pay $ 3 to get it).
I love BLD parks for softball, but BLD Mira Loma was a bit of a disappointment.
Grass on the fields are yellow and bumpy, which the infield resembles a dirty bowl park in the ghetto. The big lone restaurant is a bit small to handle all the tournament teams on the weekends who are looking for a place to stay out of the sun and enjoy some A/​C.
The food isn’t that bad here at Mira Loma. I just wished the facility would mirror the newer Las Vegas location.
