The Peoria Civic Center is a nice stadium to watch the game in. It was clean and well staffed. We were able to park within a 100 yards of the entrance.
The location is right in the middle of downtown Peoria. It was St.Patrick's Day, so we saw part of a parade that was held 2blocks away. The stadium is also only two blocks from the riverfront which has many bars and restaurants as well as nice views to take in. The Peoria Riverfront museum/Caterpillar museum is also right there, along with 2 or 3 college campuses.
It was dollar hot dog, chip and pop day so the food ended up being a bargain.
Our seats were at the end of the aisle and actually formed the end of the staircase. Had there been a bigger crowd, our view would have been obstructed by people ascending and descending the staircase. As it was almost empty (about 4,000 people), we had room to lounge.
The Rivermen won the game in OT, so it was an exciting game to watch.
