— WHY BALLPARKS
Four reasons teams come back.
Teams come for the baseball. Families come back for everything around it.
The fields you've seen on TV. At two-thirds scale.
The locker had your name on it before you got here.
The off-day Thursday is in the schedule for a reason.
Team suites on campus. Families pick their style.
— FORMAT
Two ways to play a Ballparks tournament.
Same campus. Same MLB Replica fields. Same lockers waiting with your name. The difference is how many days you stay and how many games you play.
