Non-architectural Critical Reaction
Critics have taken issue with ticket prices at the ballpark, set at $7, $15, and $18. While less expensive than ticket prices for major league ballparks, prices are among the highest in all minor league classes. However, the ballpark has seen strong attendance despite these ticket prices. It should be noted that the ballpark runs a number of specials throughout the year including "Friends & Family" where you receive 4 tickets, 4 hats and 4 value meals to a restaurant for less than $10 a ticket. It also has a "High 5 Plan" where you buy a block of 5 games (roughly one game each month) starting at $9 a game, or you can purchase a $19 ticket that includes all you can eat food and drink. In its inaugural season, Dr Pepper Ballpark had an attendance of 675,620, ranking it fourth overall in all minor league baseball attendance for the year. The ballpark sold out for 53 RoughRiders home games that season.
