Rock Cats 2009 FanFest on March 7th

February 20, 2009 - Eastern League (EL1)
New Britain Rock Cats News Release


New Britain, CT - On Saturday morning, March 7th, the New Britain Rock Cats will swing open the gates of their ballpark for the first time in 2009 to warmly welcome - for the 10th year in a row - local baseball fans of all ages to the Eastern League club's annual FanFest. This early March festival has become a much anticipated yearly event in New Britain, as it both heralds the imminent arrival of Spring, while also providing Connecticut and Western Massachusetts fans with the opportunity to visit and tour New Britain Stadium just prior to the start of another exciting season of Rock Cats Baseball. Last year's FanFest attracted some 3,000 excited visitors.

This annual preseason gathering also provides local baseball fans with their very first opportunity to purchase tickets for any of the 71 Rock Cats home games that will be played at New Britain Stadium in the 2009 Season.

All fans who attend the 10 AM to 2 PM event are strongly encouraged to bring their children as, in addition to discounted deals on a wide variety of Rock Cats and other merchandise in the team's Third Base Shop, those in attendance will also be invited to munch on complimentary hot dogs, "high-five" team mascot "Rocky", play on bouncy inflatables, and enjoy their choice of free games, raffles, as well as a behind-the-scenes Tour of the Stadium. Stops on the very popular free Tour will again include the clubhouse, home dugout, the Press Box, and an upper level luxury suite.

The tasty ballpark refreshments, exciting tour, games and raffles are, like the FanFest's admission, all free. The raffles will be conducted throughout the day giving fans in attendance the opportunity to win 2009 game tickets and/or team merchandise. The Eastern League club is, once again, asking its generous fans to consider bringing a non-perishable food item to the FanFest for donation to a nearby family in need. The Rock Cats continue to collaborate with local charitable organizations to make sure such donations reach our neediest neighbors.
