Augusta GreenJackets News Release
AUGUSTA, GA: The Augusta GreenJackets, the South Atlantic League affiliate of the 2014 World Series Champion San Francisco Giants, have announced upgrades to Lake Olmstead Stadium for the 2015 season. Included in these new offerings will be a unique concessions area, new inflatable obstacle course, upgraded sound system, and a signature menu item.
"We value our fan experiences here at Lake Olmstead Stadium and in 2015 our front office staff has pulled out all the stops," stated GreenJackets General Manager Tom Denlinger. "We invite the CSRA to come out Opening Weekend and have some fun with the GreenJackets, sample our new food offerings and cheer on your GreenJackets to victory."
Fans first entering Lake Olmstead Stadium will notice the newest concessions area on the first base side - AHMEN KORNER BAR AND GRILL. This new location will feature grilled menu items like hot dogs, hamburgers, bratwursts, and Italian sausage. AHMEN KORNER BAR AND GRILL will also be the home of Mondays' PBR Pre-game - where fans can get discounted PBR cans before Monday games.
The Kids Zone Fun Area will have a new inflatable ride for kids to enjoy during GreenJackets games. Along with the jungle gym, bounce house, and wiffle ball game, children will be able to take part in the new obstacle course. This obstacle course is measured to be 10 feet wide by 14 feet high by 35 feet long.
The sound system of Lake Olmstead Stadium also saw a few upgrades, thanks to the help from Augusta-based MAC Electronics. There will be new music covering all genres to entertain GreenJackets fans before, during and after games. Additionally, a new amplifier and speakers were installed during the off-season to keep Lake Olmstead Stadium rocking all night. The GreenJackets also partnered with the City of Augusta to update the lighting system of Lake Olmstead Stadium to MLB standards.
After an all-night brainstorming session by GreenJackets front office staff, the newest menu item offered at the ballpark will be our signature item, the Auggie Burger. The Auggie Burger is stacked high with two all-beef patties, Maurice's BBQ pork and sauce, pimento cheese, and coleslaw. Auggie Burgers will be available at the first and third base concession stands for all GreenJackets' home games.
The GreenJackets open their 27th consecutive season of professional baseball in Augusta on Thursday, April 16th against the Rome Braves (Atlanta Braves). All GreenJackets Ticket Packages, including Full, Half, and Weekend Packages, and single game tickets are on sale now for the 2015 Season.
