What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors consistently praise Centennial Field for its charming, intimate ballpark atmosphere and the fun experience of attending a Vermont Lake Monsters game. The mascot, Champ, is a particular hit with families. While parking can be a challenge and seating is compact, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, highlighting it as a great summer tradition.
"Absolutely wonderful experience! We caught a ball game while on vacation: Christmas in July. This promotional night was great! We stayed for the kids to run the bases and we played catch in the outfield. Staff was fantastic. Food was priced fairly. Pizza looked great! We bought a few t-shirts and a hat as well. We’ll look forward to wearing our Lake Monster gear on Texas. Baseball was solid too. Players played hard. Fans were into the game. We’ll look forward to attending other games in the future!"
Joshua Hutchinson
"We sat in Section B, row B, pretty much 2nd row back fromt the field. The seats are small, so anyone old or issues with sitting perfectly straight would recommend them to sit in the front to stretch legs out!
Otherwise a pretty awesome experience!"
Ashley Sheltra
"This is a summer tradition for our family. This historic ballpark is intimate and fun, and Champ is, hands down, the best mascot, so great with kids and fans. Our team doesn't always win, but we always have a great time!"
