Food & Beverage 0
There are no food offerings at the baseball field.
Atmosphere 3
There is not much else in terms of atmosphere as it is a Division III-level baseball game. The team does have a PA announcer and plays walkup music for players.
There are some simple metal bleachers around the first base side of the field. They offer decent views of the game, although through chain link fencing. There is also a small mound of grass that seems to be a popular place to set up a chair.
Neighborhood 3
The college is located in a suburban area of Lancaster. You may want to venture to downtown Lancaster for interesting options pre- and post-game.
Besides downtown, the main commercial areas of the Lancaster area are the outlets area east on Route 30 and surrounding the Park City Center Shopping Mall north of downtown.
Nearby Lititz is also a good option as it has numerous food and shopping options.
Fans 3
The attendees at most games are family members or other athletes. There may be a few local area residents who attend the games. The fans are knowledgeable and friendly to visitors.
Access 4
Lancaster is an easy area to navigate. Routes 30 and 222 are well-known, large roads that any tourist visitor to the area will be more than familiar with.
Even though the college is located in a busy town, you will seldom find traffic to be too bad. Lancaster is located about half an hour from the state capital Harrisburg. It is also about an hour and a half to Baltimore and the same distance to Philadelphia.
There are many parking spaces around the college.
Return on Investment 4
The games are free to attend. That, along with the free parking, means that you can attend a good-level Division III program at no cost.
Extras 2
The college is an interesting visit on its own. There is a nice soccer stadium and other sports facilities nearby.
There is a nice little disc golf course right near the Horst Athletic Center.

Lancaster Bible College plays at one of the lower levels of college baseball, but the games presented here are fun and it is certainly an experience that a true sports fan should experience if in the area.
