Myrtle Beach Pelicans

Hello Everybody. With the recent nasty weather conditions, including yesterday's 3 inch's of snow, I thought it would be nice to talk about something that occurs when the weather is much nicer. If you have not been to a Pelicans game, I will tell you it is well worth the money. The Pelicans have a wonderful stadium, and put on quite a show.

The Myrtle Beach Pelicans.
The Pelicans play at BB&T Coastal Field. The stadium is located on 21rst. ave. North in Myrtle Beach, on the South side of Broadway at the Beach. I used to say that it was the best $7.50 you could spend in M.B. I must revise that. It is now the best $9.00 you can spend in M.B. $9.00 will get you in where I like to sit, Grandstand Reserved. Field Box seats are $11.00, Reserved Box are $9.00, just like the Grandstand seats. You can sit in the Budweiser Thirst Inning Deck or on the grass in left field for $7.00.
The Pelicans are the Atlanta Braves Class A "Advanced" affiliate. They play in the Carolina League, and have won the Championship numerous times. I have seen many players at M.B. that have made it to the majors. Brian McCann, Rafael Furcal, Adam LaRouche, and Jason Marquis to name a few.

Sugar's good time tips.
Here are a few tips to assist you in having a fantastic time. Park across the street at Broadway at the Beach. This will save you from spending an hour trying to get out of the stadium parking lot.
Leave early, go to Liberty Steakhouse and Brewery. Liberty has great appetizers and brews it's own beer, in-house. Liberty is located on the same side of Broadway at the Beach as the ballpark. Look for the big Statue of Liberty. Big Tip, if your with your wife, don't leave too early or you'll find yourself down at Coastal Grand Mall, voice of experience.
Well anyway, that's all for today. I hope to see you at the ballpark. God Bless, Peace, Love, and all the Above, Sugar.
