Planning to catch a game at Sutter Health Park this season? You’re in for a great experience! Sutter Health Park, home to the Sacramento River Cats, is one of the top minor league ballparks in the country. It will become home to the MLB Athletics until their stadium can be built in Las Vegas. Located in West Sacramento, it offers stunning views of the Tower Bridge and downtown skyline.
Fun fact: Sacramento may temporarily host the Las Vegas Athletics (formerly Oakland) before their new stadium opens in 2028. This means Major League Baseball is coming to Sutter Health Park in the near future!
Food and Drink
If you’re hungry before the game, try Burgers and Brew. It offers gourmet burgers, craft beers, and a relaxed vibe near the Old Sacramento Waterfront, perfect for a break.
O’Mally’s Irish Pub, near the waterfront, is a great spot for drinks and delicious food, including their famous Irish tacos. For an elegant fine dining experience, visit The Firehouse Restaurant in Old Sacramento.
Enjoy intimate dining, a locally sourced menu, and the region’s largest wine collection in a classic setting.
