Opening Day with the Sanford River Rats!
Step into history at Sanford Memorial Stadium, a local landmark built in 1951 and once part of the New York Giants’ spring training circuit. This charming, community-loved stadium, named in honor of WWII veterans, has been updated over the years while still preserving its classic baseball feel. With seating for 2,000 and a true small-town spirit, it’s the perfect place to cheer on the home team.

With family-friendly pricing, theme nights, delicious local concessions, and traditions like kids running the bases after the game, it’s the ultimate summer outing!
