Revolution Giving Away Refrigerator on Opening Day

York Revolution News Release
(York, Pa.): It's a dilemma as old as minor league baseball itself; you get the team magnet schedule on Opening Day, but no have no fridge to put it on. The York Revolution is out to correct this promotional injustice.
On Thursday, April 18, when the Revolution open the 2013 season at home against Bridgeport, fans will receive a 2013 schedule magnet presented by Pizza Hut, which includes a detachable logo car magnet. However, one lucky fan will leave the ballpark with not just a schedule, but the refrigerator to go with it.
Consider the minor league magnet schedule giveaway "Revolutionized."
"We've always received such great fan support, that we wish we could give each family in the ballpark a fridge to go along with their magnet schedule," said Revolution President & General Manager Eric Menzer. "It's not so much the cost, as it is the poor sightlines fans would have on opening night if everyone took the fridge they received at the gates to their seat. So we figured a fair drawing would be the better way to go."
Indeed, fans interested in winning the brand new refrigerator may enter the drawing on the Brooks Robinson Plaza on their way into Sovereign Bank Stadium on Opening Night. In the fourth inning, we will randomly draw a winner and send one lucky fan home with the proper means to display their brand new schedule magnet.
Game time against Bridgeport is 6:30 p.m., and the gates will open at 5:30 p.m. as we raise the curtain on the 2013 season. The fridge drawing is open to all - from season ticket holders to those just passing from ballpark to ballpark.
"Everyone gives away a magnet schedule, you pretty much have to at the beginning of the season," said Menzer. "But giving away a whole fridge? Now that's a promotion!"
