Skip the long lines and overpriced concessions of the major leagues. Skip the disorienting stadium navigation, the parking lot price gaugers, and huge crowds.

Instead, catch baseball at Funko Field. Enjoy quality community with a view of the Cascade Mountains, fresh seaside air, bouncy houses for the kids, and accessible bathrooms.

Great sporting. Ample parking. Cold beer. Tasty snacks. No multimillion dollar athlete swagger. No egos.

You’ll see: there’s nothing like the experience of baseball al fresco on a spring evening.

Go Frogs! 🐸 ⚾️ 🧢 💥
