Amazing authentic experience. Crowd is great. Befriend a local guide to go with, if possible. It'll be easier to get tickets and concessions. If you don't speak Spanish it could get tough. Tix are 1 CUP (.05 CUC) to sit anywhere except behind home. The locals are nice, and it's very safe.
A lot of food/beer vendors outside the Stadium, no alcohol inside. If you want a beer or snack midgame then ask security to give you in out privileges. If you're a washroom connoisseur then be forewarned, you'll be very dissapointed.
Inolvidables experiencias en el estadio viendo jugar a los cocodrilos de Matanzas.
Beautiful. Real baseball place.
The number one team in the league, very good quality players, super fans and only 3 pesos to sit in the best seats. I agree the stadium could use some TLC.
The atmosphere itself was amazing! It is really different from watching baseball in North America as it was always loud - I really appreciated it. The stadium is old and is in need of upgrades, but it doesn't take away from the experience of watching Cuba's official sport.
There are very few vendors selling snacks and sandwiches inside the stadium, but the good food and souvenirs are located outside the stadium. You are best to purchase prior to entering. Also, there is no alcohol sold or consumed inside the stadium; again it's all done outside.
Fun and loud atmosphere. Facilities are quite run down
