Springdale Gets Ready for Boom Ball’s High Energy Debut

Baseball is getting a makeover, and Arvest Ballpark is where it happens first. The Lucky Llamas are landing in Springdale to give the ballpark experience a serious upgrade, and once you’re in your seat, the usual seventh-inning stretch might feel a little quiet by comparison.

Not Your Average Ballgame

You’re getting real baseball backed by a stadium-wide light show and a fireworks show. The Lucky Llamas take the field, and you can show up early for Boom Fest, a pregame festival with player appearances before Opening Ceremonies kick things into gear.

Pick Your Seat, Pick Your Vibe

You’ve got options, from Boom Berm lawn seating starting at $20 up to the $150 Boom VIP package, which includes a player meet and greet in the first five rows near home plate. In between, you can grab Homeplate Box seats starting at $25, reserved seating along first and third base starting at $30, or Dugout and Home Plate Premium boxes starting at $40 and $45. Seats within each tier get assigned in the order you buy, so booking early lands you closer to the action. There’s also a St. Jude All-Star tier starting at $75 that includes a post-game, on-field experience with players, and $20 from every ticket goes directly to St. Jude.

Before First Pitch

Plan to arrive 60 to 90 minutes before Opening Ceremonies so you have time to work through Boom Fest, grab something to eat, and find your seat before the lights come up. Parking runs $20 in advance or $30 on-site, and the stadium is ADA accessible with staff on hand if you need assistance. Food and drink are available throughout the ballpark, including options for the whole family and the adults in the group.

One more thing worth knowing before you go: the bag policy only allows one clear bag under 12 by 6 by 12 inches, a one-gallon clear freezer bag, or a small clutch no bigger than the size of your palm. If severe weather rolls through on game day, updates on any delays or schedule changes go out through email and Boom Ball’s social channels, so it’s worth following along before you head out the door.
