Principal Park at 1 Line Drive puts you right in the heart of Des Moines. Home to the Triple-A Iowa Cubs, the Chicago Cubs affiliate, this riverfront ballpark opened in 1992 and was renamed in 2004. With seating for roughly 11,500 and crisp sightlines from every section, it blends small-park charm with big-league energy, framed by skyline and State Capitol views beyond the outfield.
Fans come for more than baseball. Summer fireworks, theme nights, and dog-friendly games keep the atmosphere lively, while a roomy concourse, berm seating, and kid-friendly areas make it easy for families to settle in. Concessions highlight Iowa favorites like pork tenderloin and sweet corn alongside local craft beer, and the venue’s calendar often adds concerts, community festivals, and high school championships.
Getting there is simple with nearby parking, quick access to I-235, and walkable riverfront trails. Whether you are planning a sunny afternoon game or a special night under the lights, Principal Park delivers a classic Midwest ballpark experience.
