It’s not hyperbole to say that there is a new contestant in the race to be considered the very best ballpark in all of Minor League Baseball. It’s that good.

We spent a couple of days in Utah to assess The Ballpark at America First Square in every way imaginable. The Larry H. Miller Company spared no expense in designing, building and staffing a facility for their Bees that is as good or better in architecture, food & beverage and view than any park below the Majors. And honestly, it tops a number of big-league parks.

We dig deep on how the location was selected — and why it fits absolutely perfectly considering Utah’s aspirations of landing an expansion team in the big leagues. The park’s surroundings are impressive and getting better by the day. And you won’t find better concessions anywhere.

The Salt Lake Bees have a real winner here, one that will stand up beautifully even if nearby Salt Lake City is successful in its MLB quest.

Now read all about The Ballpark at America First Square. And, yes, its 7,700 words and three dozen photos make it the longest review we’ve ever done for a park below the Majors, but as we say, it’s that good.
