Wow! What a facility. The 7.5 hour drive stinks, but can’t wait for a week of baseball here

@TerribleBPthrower - any Lakepoint tips, suggestions or warnings that you can pass along for those attending in the near future?
Parking can be difficult. We packed the car so my son could jump out at the entrance and grab his catcher bag without slowing down the parking line.
The concession stand was a little backed up because they were very short on staff in June.
Don't plan on eating at Chic Fil A after the game. Unless you like waiting a really long time, then go for it.
There is no need for personal shade or chairs. It's pretty easy to find a comfortable spot to sit. It is stadium style seating with shade.
Pack turfs and molded cleats if you can. Some kids didn't like the cleats on turf and some didn't like turfs on turf.
Definitely check out some of the vendors. We got a great deal on a Pro Preferred and others have scored some deals on other merch.
Almost forgot, they went to some dumb ticket purchasing system that is online and a real pain. A lot of people, me included, thought we could wait in a line and pay cash only to find out that they just walk you through the online purchase. So don't try that.
I'm sure I'm leaving something out. Feel free to ask any questions. It's a great facility.
Thanks! I saw this on their site: $13 General Admission per day - $55 Multi-day pass.
I guess it makes sense to do the per day unless you are playing there for 5 days?
How is the Live Stream & Video-On-Demand? Worth the price?

The live stream quality was really good. My wife could see my son giving signs behind the plate. It's worth it if you have someone wanting to watch who can't be there. It's also really good if you want video for recruiting.
The live stream is great if you have a pitcher or catcher or son is hitting. Not so great for fielding at any of the spots. if you want to get video for sending or posting it is 10 bucks for the game. You can edit it and put small videos together with multiple camera views. Still the position players views are not the best.
The concession stands were not open during this last weekend so bring lots of water. Might want to bring an umbrella - the sun can get hot depending on what field you are on. The covers can only do so much depending on the time of day.
We tend to park all the way down in the field - easy to get in and nobody is parked right on top off your car.
it is a great place and we always enjoy going. If it rains the games keep going unless there is lightening - then they will have delays. My son had 4 in one game last week.
Good luck and enjoy.
They have not bothered us at all. But people have been bringing in coolers. I have even seen people sipping a beer while watching a game. They are now selling it believe it or not.
Another question on the live stream - if anyone knows? Will they allow multiple simultaneous log ons? By this, I mean, if I paid for a subscription, could my wife, my parents and in-laws all use my account at the same time to watch the live games?
Francis7 raises a good question, anyone??

I may or may not have had up to 5 people using the same login at one time from different states.
PBR 17U Nationals - Anyone here have a favorite player (hopefully your kid) playing in the tourney starting Wednesday?
And thanks to all for the info provided here in advance and also thank you Senna for the info provided here -Senna's google sheet ! Looks like my kid is going to play at Cass and Allatoona HS for a couple of games and the rest at Lakepoint.
Yes , I'll be there with my two. They also just played in the WWBA 17u PG Nationals so we are down here for both. Great tournament, looking forward to PBR as well now.
My kid plays for Mash 17u. If anyone plays us feel free to send me a message. Good luck to all!
Did I see on the PG website that there were over 400 teams?
