Colorado Springs Sky Sox

The Colorado Springs Sky Sox is the minor league baseball team in the Springs. They play in the Pacific Coast League. They play baseball at Security Service Field which used to be known as Sky Sox Stadium, like when I was there.
A little history...Originally the team was an affiliate of the Chicago White Sox in the Western League from 1950 through 1958 when the Western League folded. Then there was no pro baseball team in the Pikes Peak region until 1988 after the Hawaiian Islanders moved to the Springs.

Going to a pro baseball game is a ton of fun. They really do play "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" using an organ and the whole audience sings along. The hot dogs really do taste better while you are watching the Sky Sox play. It is so exciting to have thousands of people cheering the guys on when they hit a homerun.

The stadium is first rate and so is the team. Starting in 2004, there have been ongoing renovations, modernizing everything. The Sky Sox have spent $8 million doing this. They have also put in a new picnic area and a banquet hall.

The stadium seats 8,500 screaming fans so there is plenty of room for you to catch a game or two while you are vacationing in Colorado Springs. Don't worry about sitting out in the sticky, miserable summer heat. There is always a cool breeze so you don't feel uncomfortably drenched while watching a Colorado Springs Sky Sox game. Humidity is low because Colorado Springs is in the Rocky Mountains at 6,531 feet above sea level.

So get some tickets and bring money for hot dogs, sodas, peanuts, and your favorite baseball snacks and get ready for a wonderful evening of baseball, singing, and cheering.
