West Michigan Whitecaps News Release
Comstock Park, MI - - Thursday, June 6, 2024 Get ready for an unforgettable experience at LMCU Ballpark this summer with the return of family movies, Flix on the Field! Originally launched in 2020 as a creative response to the canceled Whitecaps season due to COVID-19, this beloved event is back by popular demand, thanks to the partnership between the West Michigan Whitecaps and Family Fare.
Imagine strolling onto the green outfield grass of LMCU Ballpark, setting up your lawn chairs and blanket, and enjoying blockbuster movies on the stadium's giant videoboard. This unique experience has quickly become a cherished tradition for many families. "Creating fun, affordable, memorable family experiences is the core of what the Whitecaps brand is all about," said Dan Morrison, VP of Sales & Marketing for the West Michigan Whitecaps.
"When we first brainstormed the idea of showing movies on our centerfield screen, it was an instant hit," said Morrison.
In the summer of 2020, LMCU Ballpark welcomed over 5,000 moviegoers, offering West Michigan's favorite ballpark snacks, craft beer, popcorn, and movie candy. Building on that success, LMCU Ballpark is excited to bring back these magical movie nights when the Whitecaps are on the road.
"We're thrilled to reintroduce Flix on the Field and we couldn't have asked for a better partner than Family Fare who shares the same commitment to bring fun to our community for West Michigan families," said Morrison.
"At SpartanNash and Family Fare, we are passionate about engaging with the neighborhoods we serve," said SpartanNash Director of Retail Marketing, Jessica Wong. "We're excited to be able to contribute to moments for local families and communities to come together in creating lasting memories at the LMCU Ballpark."
