Modesto California is not a huge city and when someone mentions California it will not be the first place that pops into the majority of people’s minds but there are a few interesting things to do and see.
While California is home to a couple of major league baseball franchises such as the Anaheim Angels and the Oakland A’s if you are not close to those cities or do not feel like spending a huge amount of money to see a game then you are in luck. Modesto California has a team that plays at the John Thurman Field located at 601 Neece Drive Modesto, CA 95351 called the Nuts. You can get a ticket to a game for about $10 as opposed to spending about $100 a ticket to see one of those major league squads. Also, if you wanted to buy a beer at a major league teams stadium you would have to spend the better part of $10 a bottle but Thursday nights at the John Thurman Field are $1 beer nights and needless to say it is one of the stadiums most popular promotions.
Another thing to see is the gateway to Modesto. It is the Modesto Arch, a large arch made of metal with the words water, wealth, contentment, and health written across it under the name Modesto. The Modesto Arch was built in 1912 and the words water, wealth, contentment, and health were chosen after a contest was held to see who could create the best slogan. The odd thing about the slogan is that it was not the first place winner of the competition in fact it was the runner up. The first place slogan was “nobody’s got Modesto’s goat.” The arch serves as a Modesto landmark and it is on the majority of postcards and many of the news reports are done in front of the arch . While in Modesto be sure to procure a hotel room to make your stay more comfortable.
