The stadium is located on Albany Avenue, near the eastern terminus of U.S. Highway 40 and several blocks inland from the famous Boardwalk and casino strip. The casinos are clearly visible from the seating areas and create a particularly attractive view at night.
Seating is in two primary sections, split by a "cross aisle". Luxury boxes are also available above the main seating bowl.
When the park first opened, the seating sections were named for the various properties on the U.S. version of the Monopoly board, which took its names from the streets of Atlantic City and surrounding towns. However, saying "I'm sitting in Pacific Avenue" was not sufficiently descriptive, and so the seating sections have now been assigned numbers, as at most other stadiums.
Bernie Robbins Stadium has played host to the Atlantic League All-Star Game in 1998 and 2005 as well as to various amateur baseball events and concerts.
It was previously known as The Sandcastle before the Bernie Robbins jewelry chain purchased the naming rights in 2006.
