The in-between inning shows are just as appealing as the ball games being played. During our last visit, a little girl sang (very well) the &#8220;Star Spangled Banner,&#8221; on-the-field trivia contests took place, K-O the boxing kangaroo club mascot got into it with the umpire, and kids danced with the Brockton Rox cheerleaders to &#8220;Cotton-Eyed Joe,&#8221; on top of the dugout. The PA announcer sounded like someone out of the Gary Owens school of broadcasting while the crowds frequently provided &#8220;thunder&#8221; by stomping their feet on the metal floor beneath. PA system sound bites included Elmer Fudd and Jack Nicholson (proof that Massachusetts prides itself on diversity) to further please the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>The two concession stands with pizza, hot dogs, ice cream, popcorn, peanuts and other junk food staples are clean and offer friendly service. A beer garden and picnic pavilion beyond the outfield make the eating and drinking atmosphere even that much better!<\/p>\n<p>Add plenty of parking spaces, a nice gift shop with many affordable Brockton Rox souvenirs and you have a complete low-cost package of fun entertainment in the good old New England &#8220;summahtime!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brocktonrox.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Brockton Rox at Campanelli Stadium<\/a><br \/>\n1 Lexington St.,<br \/>\nBrockton, MA<br \/>\nTel.
