PCL1 Fresno Grizzlies

Hannah Montana "Ride Your Kid's Coattails" Night on Wednesday

April 28, 2008 - Pacific Coast League (PCL1)
Fresno Grizzlies News Release


FRESNO, CA - The Fresno Grizzlies will celebrate an American cultural icon, and his daughter Miley Cyrus, on Wednesday night at Chukchansi Park when Fresno takes on the Iowa Cubs. In honor of Billy Ray Cyrus' unapologetic ride back into the spotlight on the heels of his talented daughter, the Grizzlies will host "Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus ‘Ride Your Kid's Coattails' Night" at the ballpark on April 30th.

The 15-year old Miley Cyrus, better known by her stage pseudonym Hannah Montana, is the currently America's biggest teenage star and is expected to reach billionaire status later this year. Though her rise has been meteoric, it's most surprising aspect has been her father's push back into the national spotlight. Billy Ray Cyrus, who first gained national attention for his country hit "Achy Breaky Heart", has parlayed his daughter's talent into television and film roles and a revitalized music career that seems to hinge primarily on duets with Miley.

In honor of Billy Ray's opportunism, and his trailblazing path that can serve as a roadmap for parents of talented children, the Grizzlies will offer a special ticket discount. Way Back Wednesdays, which already offer $1 tickets for children (under 12), senior citizens, and military personnel (with ID), will have an additional twist on April 30th. Any parent who brings an award to the Chukchansi Park box office won by his/her child will receive a $1 ticket as well. For example, a perfect attendance award or swimming medal will entitle the parent to a discounted ticket provided the child is also in attendance.

"We're distraught about the negative publicity that Miley Cyrus has recently received and terrified that this may impact the resurgence of Billy Ray's career," said Scott Carter, Vice President of Marketing for the Grizzlies. "We're looking forward to giving fans, especially our younger fans, yet another reason to come enjoy Grizzlies baseball at Chukchansi Park."

The entire night at Chukchansi Park will be filled with Hannah Montana songs, videos, trivia, and other theme items. Additionally, Club Libby Lu will be at the ballpark offering pop-star makeovers for children on the concourse.

The Grizzlies open an eight-game homestand on Monday, April 28, 2008 when they take on the Iowa Cubs at Chukchansi Park. For more information about the Grizzlies schedule, promotional calendar, or tickets, visit fresnogrizzlies.com or call 320.HITS.
