This season will mark the Gateway Grizzlies seventh season in GCS Ballpark and eighth in the Frontier League. The ballpark was built for the start of the 2002 season, and was renamed GCS Ballpark prior to the 2006 season. The stadium's capacity has increased to 6,000 fans. The ballpark was named the 2005 Ballpark of the Year by digitalballparks.com. In 2004, the Grizzlies became the first team in Frontier League history to draw over 200,000 fans for a season, finishing with a league best 217,500. On September 2, 2005 7,917 fans crowded in to the ballpark to see the Grizzlies season finale-marking the largest single-game crowd in team history. More than one million fans have taken in Grizzlies games at the ballpark in six seasons. The Grizzlies are an independent professional baseball team in the Frontier League.

Frontier League policy prohibits any outside food and beverage to be brought into the stadium, but you are welcome to bring chairs and blankets and cushions. Bring the kids and spouses. Muster in parking lot.

Gateway Grizzlies do not mail tickets. Tickets may be picked up in will call anytime before the game during office hours or the day of the game. GCS Ballpark is generally a smoke-free facility. There are three designated smoking areas throughout the ballpark. Parking is free during all Grizzlies games. In the event five innings of the game are not played, except when the home team is in the lead after four and a half innings, tickets may be exchanged for a ticket to any regular season home game during the current season.

The gates to GCS Ballpark open 65 minutes prior to game time. Children three and over must have a ticket. Children two and under get in free, but do not receive their own seat. They must sit in their parents lap. If it has been raining, check the Grizzlies homepage on their website as it will be updated on the situation. Each season the Grizzlies have one night near the end of the season called "unused ticket night." You may exchange an unused ticket for an equivalent ticket to that game, based on availability. Beyond that evening, tickets are not refundable and not exchangeable. On game days the office is open from 9 a.m. through the game. Games are also broadcast on the internet: www.gatewaygrizzlies.com
