Bradenton, Fla. - The Bradenton Marauders, the High-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates, today announced three new all-you-can-eat five game plans to enjoy at McKechnie Field in 2016. Each plan features tickets to five of the most highly anticipated home games in 2016, an all-you-can-eat food package for the five games, and two free gifts. In addition to a Marauders cap, purchasers of the five game plans will receive a Snooty the Manatee bobblehead. Snooty, the official mascot of Manatee County, is celebrating his 68th birthday this year.
"We designed our new five game plans to offer maximum value in terms of entertainment, food and beverage at the ballpark, and gifts that will serve as a fond reminder of McKechnie Field memories," Marauders General Manager Rachelle Madrigal said. "We're very excited about the opportunity to partner with the South Florida Museum and recognize what a community icon Snooty is with our commemorative Snooty bobblehead in honor of his 68th birthday."
CEO of the South Florida Museum Brynne Anne Besio added, "We are so happy to join the Marauders in offering this fun, family-friendly Snooty bobblehead to add to the memories created by these two community gems - Snooty and the Marauders. And what better day to distribute these mementos than on July 23, 2016: the day of Snooty's 68th Birthday Bash and Wildlife Festival!"
Each five game plan features a ticket to five premium Friday or Saturday night games. There are no overlapping dates among the three packages, allowing maximum flexibility for fans to choose the package that best fits their schedule. Every game included in the five game packages features a significant promotional event or giveaway item.
Prices for the five-game all-you-can-eat ticket plans start as low as $55 for bleacher seating. Baseline Box ticket packages are $65. Infield Box and Infield Reserve sections are $75. The all-you-can-eat food package includes unlimited hot dogs, burgers, chicken sandwiches, soda, and bottled water, making the five game plans an unbeatable value.
Five game plan tickets are also exchangeable. Plan purchasers that miss a game in their plan can redeem the unused ticket for a ticket to any future game, based on availability. Purchasers will also receive a meal voucher to their newly selected game at the time of the exchange.
Snooty, born at the Miami Aquarium and Tackle Company in 1948, is the Guinness World Record holder as the oldest manatee. He was relocated to the South Florida Museum in Bradenton in 1949 and has resided here since, growing to nearly 10 feet in length and weighing more than 1,000 pounds. He has served as an ambassador for his species and has shared his aquarium with 30 young wild manatees preparing for release as part of the Manatee Rescue and Rehabilitation Partnership. Five game plan purchasers will receive a voucher for the bobblehead to be redeemed on or after July 23, 2016.
All-you-can-eat five game ticket plans can be purchased online at www.BradentonMarauders.com/AllYouCanEat, by phone by calling 941-747-3031, or in person at the McKechnie Field ticket office. The ticket office is currently open on Spring Training hours until April 1.
