Help Us Celebrate 20 Seasons & Share Your Favorite Memories! For the past 19 seasons, Centennial Field has been the place where memories are made. Maybe you came as a kid and now bring your own kids to games. Maybe you moved away and have come back to find the same great atmosphere that you remember from all those years ago. Since 1994, the Vermont Expos and Lake Monsters have given generation after generation a look at what our national pastime is all about. You've spent quality family time watching future Major League Baseball stars while enjoying Champ's crazy antics and some fun promotions. Now, after all those summer nights, we want to know what stands out to you and your family! How about the time you shook Jason Bay's hand? Or when you rocked out on the dugout with Champ? Or maybe even the time you caught that foul ball?

Share your favorite stories and photos from the past 19 seasons and lucky submissions will be selected to participate in a 20th season video documenting the generations who have passed through historic Centennial Field. One lucky fan will be picked to win a 20-person VIP party at our end-of-the-season Fan Appreciation Night. Photos and stories will also be featured on our video board and social media networks throughout the season.

Be a part of our history! Send your stories to memories@vermontlakemonsters.com and come out to help us celebrate our 20th season!
