Missoula PaddleHeads News Release
MISSOULA, MONT - The Missoula Osprey and the Hilton Garden Inn Missoula announced today their partnership to bring youth sports teams to Ogren Park Allegiance Field as part of the ever popular Dugout Team program.
A Hilton Garden Inn Missoula Dugout Team is any youth sports team in the Missoula area that wishes to take part in the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of being on the field with the Missoula Osprey.
The players from the youth team are to be in uniform (if possible) to be recognized by the crowd prior to an Osprey home game. Each youngster will run with an Osprey player to their position during player introductions and stay on the field for the National Anthem.
Due to the popularity of the program and having only 38 home games, space is limited. Each Hilton Garden Inn Missoula Dugout Team chosen will receive up to 20 complimentary reserved tickets to the assigned game. Those tickets can be used by the team's players and coaches. Additional tickets for family and friends can be purchased as a group in advance based on availability.
" This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for local youth athletes to take the field with professional baseball players, " said Osprey Vice President/General Manager Jeff Griffin. " With the help of Hilton Garden Inn Missoula, we are happy to be able to continue another one of our many community- driven programs."
Requests to be a Hilton Garden Inn Missoula Dugout Team should come from the coach of each team by contacting Griffin at 543-3300 or by email at jgriffin@missoulaosprey.com.
Coaches will need to provide the name of their team and contact information for either themselves or a team representative when making their request to become a Hilton Garden Inn Missoula Dugout Team.
The Osprey will open their home season on Thursday, June 20, against the Helena Brewers, and will close their regular season home schedule on Wednesday, September 4 against the Great Falls Voyagers.
