Where is it on the map?
Approach to park from Signing Hills Blvd
My (very) old atlas didn't show it it on the a city map for Sioux City. New ones, if they show it at all,
should have it just south of I-129 (US 20) and east of I-29. For example Google Maps doesn't show (and the satellite image is too blurry to make out either),
What landmarks should I look for?
IBP Ice Center next to the ballpark
While on I-129 the ballpark is easy to see as you go up (or down) the river bluff just east of I-29. The problem is "you can't get there" from that freeway. Though originally about the only thing in the area, a lot of development including restaurants and motels have obscurred the one easy view.
The address of the ballpark on Line Drive was the only way to the Lewis & Clark Park. The development though added a second, easier approach on the aptly named Stadium Drive off the (also easier) Singing Hills Drive. Unless you're headed south on South Lewis Boulevard (US Hwy 75) from the Sgt. Floyd Monument, this is the way you'll want to take. Some landmarks of Stadium Drive include the IBP Ice Center and the "big bowling pin" in front of the Lewis Bowl family fun area near the ballpark.
Sign to ballpark from Singing Hills Blvd. (heading east)
There's a newer second entrance is from US 75 on Singing Hills Boulevard. This is your quickest way to the park if staying at a motel on the bluff. It is also label Line Drive though there is a sign for the "Ice Center" though it's much smaller (and easier to miss) than the ballpark.
From I-29, you're more likely to see it after you've missed the exit than before. If you're on I-129 headed east, you can't help but see it at the foot of the bluffs, but you can't get there. If there are fireworks you may even see people parking along the freeway to get a free show.
What you should bring with you?

Most of the season this area is usually warm well into the evening. Light jacket recommended. Early May starts can be cold and damp. Checking weather forecasts is recommended.
Day games should include sunscreen. Like Sioux Falls, there is usually a (strong) breeze to get the heat from being too overwhelming.
In case of rain, head for the car. There isn't a lot of shelter for fans except in the concourse entrances and stairways. The restrooms are an option, though families probably will have to split up to wait out the rain. In major emergencies they may have people take shelter under the grandstand though this is off limits to the public.
