A night out with the legends is so relaxing, especially after a long day of worker kids. It's just the right size ballpark to keep it fun and simple. Something for all ages. No need to get tickets ahead. Great for a last minute trip. Watch enough and you even get into the players and rivalries. More

My family and I have been to several ball games at this ball park, formerly known as Applebee's Ballpark. Same overpriced fare for drinks and food, but, it is a great place to take kids for an evening of minor league entertainment. More

I used to be a ravid baseball fan from the late 50's to the 80's. For whatever reasons, I wandered away. I remember going to Crosley field, then Riverfront,and so on. Last night I took my oldest grandson and a couple of his friends to our 1st Legends game. All I can say is that I found that little boy... More

Applebee's park is a great place to watch a baseball game, especially if you have never been. I've been going to games since the franchise was founded in 2001, so it's all old potatoes to me. The Marker Mark club is still a great place to get a full meal before and during the game. You can keep up with... More

Anyone who complains about a night out here is nuts. This may not be the best minor league park in America but it is definately a fun night out for sure. The park is pretty non descript compared to many i have been to. The one thing that sets it apart is its calling on the tradition of horse racing... More

How loud can a baseball park be? Applebee's seems to have received a government research grant to find out. Between innings, the field swarmed with children doing things that might have been amusing to themselves or their parents. It was not fun for those of us who were looking to talk baseball or simply to relax. We felt browbeaten into... More

Lexington Legends game, June 11,2005. The Maker's Mark club room is awesome !!!! The Club is air-conditioned and that alone is worth the price of admission on a hot-humid evening. Also it has closed - circuit T.V. so you won't miss a single play. My wife and I have been to quite a few games and we always have alot... More
