Lancaster Stormers News Release


LANCASTER, Pa.- With the eyes of the world watching, Christina Aguilera belted out her rendition of our national anthem prior to Super Bowl XLV. With 111 million people watching, she got caught up in the moment and sang one of the lines wrong. Her fumbled lyrics have created a stir among celebrity bloggers, pundits and everyday people. What better way to have a second chance than at Clipper Magazine Stadium, home of the Lancaster Barnstormers Professional Baseball Club.

"We are completely aware of how nerve racking it can be to sing the national anthem," Barnstormers assistant general manager Kristen Simon said. "We see seventy renditions every summer and every one of those singers has butterflies. We believe Ms. Aguilera can bring home a quality, show-stopping, heart-wrenching version of the 'Star Spangled Banner' and we'd love her to sing it here at Clipper Magazine Stadium."

Should Ms. Aguilera be interested in performing the anthem this summer, she can contact the Lancaster Barnstormers at 717-509-4487 to schedule a date to sing.

The Lancaster Barnstormers are entering their seventh season as a member of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. Home games are played at Clipper Magazine Stadium in downtown Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Please call 717.509.HITS (4487) or visit LancasterBarnstormers.com for more information.
