Kingfish Unveil 2015 Plans in Front of Standing Room Only Crowd

March 28, 2015 - Northwoods League (Northwoods)
Kenosha Kingfish News Release


Kenosha, Wis. - It was standing room only at Lynch Chevrolet in Kenosha as the Kingfish unveiled upcoming stadium improvements, this summer's bobblehead series and special events for 2015.

Highlighting the announcements was the unveiling of a new digital scoreboard to be installed beyond the right centerfield fence. Following the 2014 season, the Kingfish conducted a fan survey with more than 1,000 participants. The number one request for improving the fan experience was an upgraded scoreboard. This feedback prompted the newest renovation to Simmons Field.

In addition to the new scoreboard, the Kingfish announced a partnership with the KAC and will have a new location for pre-game tailgate parties for the upcoming season. The Kingfish hosted several large corporate outings in 2014, sometimes as large as 1,500 people. This new park-like area located on the KAC property next to Simmons Field will allow for a more private atmosphere in a more open setting while offering close proximity to the ballpark.

Rounding out the improvements was the new and improved 7-game pack food and beverage set-up for 2015. In addition to adding a BBQ rib sandwich to the menu, 7-game pack holders will also have a private buffet set-up separate from the main concession stand on a nightly basis. This new tented area will be located behind the third base grandstand and will alleviate congestion in the main courtyard in an effort to serve 7-game pack holders more efficiently.

Not only were all guests in attendance excited about the stadium enhancements, but the Kingfish announced six bobbleheads for the 2015 season. The bobbleheads include a Festival Foods Zip Line Elvis that will be the first bobblehead of its kind. Other bobbleheads will be a Uke's Harley Davidson Mini Bike Elvis bobblehead, a Lynch Chevrolet Firefighter Elvis bobblehead, Lee Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric Lenny Webster bobblehead,, and a first-ever bobble boat, the Twin Disc Bambino Bobble Boat. The Kingfish saved the best for last as they unveiled a Platinum Systems Dancing Elvi Tyler bobblehead while the Dancing Elvi performed a live set.

New to 2015 will be several special events. All events will be free and open to the public. The Kingfish will host a Johnson Bank Movie Series and will be showing "The Sandlot" on June 12th, "Frozen" on July 24th, and "Toy Story" on August 21st. In addition to the movie series, the Kingfish will host the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board Curdfest on September 19th. The Kingfish will also host a 2nd annual Spooky Sprint 5K in 2015 benefiting the Aurora Healthcare Foundation. Last year, nearly 200 runners participated.

The Kingfish will open the season at home on Tuesday, May 26th at 7:05 pm as they take on the St. Cloud Rox. Kingfish single-game tickets will go on-sale on Saturday, April 25th at 9:00 am.
