There’s not much better or more fun than a day watching live sports with friends and family! The thrill of the game, the crowds, the noise, and the food all add up to an electrifying experience. There are plenty of excellent sports teams in and around the Chesapeake, VA area, so when you’re in town and in the mood to catch a great game, head to one of these three venues.
Norfolk Tides
Just up the road in Norfolk at 150 Park Avenue is Harbor Park, home of the Norfolk Tides AAA minor league professional baseball team. An affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, the Tides entertain crowds in their 10,000-plus-seat stadium on the shores of the Elizabeth River. While you’re there, enjoy traditional concessions like hot dogs and pretzels or, for a heartier meal, try “Hits at the Park,” the Tides’ 225-seat on-site restaurant that offers a full view of the field.
Norfolk Admirals
If indoor sports are more to your liking, catch a match at Scope Area at 201 East Brambleton Avenue in Norfolk, home of the Norfolk Admirals professional hockey team. A minor league team affiliated with the Carolina Hurricanes and the Chicago Wolves, a night watching the Admirals is exciting and fun for the entire family. When you’re hungry, there are plenty of concessions along with a restaurant, The Pub, serving dishes like Coconut Cod and Smokehouse Wings.
