"The Pit Spitters are 100% focused on evolving and improving the fan experience, and we've struck a perfect balance of incorporating some of our fan's favorite promotions while still bringing some new fun into the mix! 2024 is going to be a fantastic season to be a Pit Spitters fan!"
The final home series at Turtle Creek Stadium is a two-game set on Tuesday, August 5th and Wednesday, August 6th against the Kalamazoo Growlers. The Pit Spitters wrap up regular season play on the road August 10th against the Battle Creek Battle Jacks. Playoffs begin Sunday, August 11thas the Pit Spitters will look to reclaim the Northwoods League Championship for the third time in six years!
"Last season we saw tremendous growth in two categories, large-scale special events and demand for group and corporate hospitality at Pit Spitters games," said Holm. "When our baseball season ends in August, we are going to have some big things in store to keep the fun going well into the fall season. And if it's corporate hospitality you're looking for, now is the time to book those dates! Returning groups have an exclusive booking window ahead of our Priority Group On-Sale on January 10th. Hospitality decks, patio table, and suite inventory for the most in-demand 2024 dates are already getting low, so if you're interested in a 2024 group outing, don't wait to pick your date!"
Pit Spitters season tickets are now on sale. The exclusive priority on-sale for returning groups begins January 10th, with all group tickets going on sale to the public January 12th.
