Good to know

  • Arrive 10–15 minutes before start time to park, get inside, and grab a drink.
  • On Dayton Dragons home game nights the streets around the ballpark fill up early — give yourself extra time.
  • Pins doesn't serve food, but you're welcome to bring some in or have it delivered, and food trucks often park outside. Outside drinks aren't allowed.
  • Accessible parking is near the entrance, and both floors can be reached without stairs.
