Granville, WV - The West Virginia Black Bears will return home on June 19, 2016 to defend their 2015 New York-Penn League Title. First pitch will be at 4:05 pm against the Batavia Muckdogs. Fans are encouraged to come early when gates open at 3pm to see and even taste the new and exciting features being added to Monongalia County Ballpark.

A new menu, ticket windows, and places to grab a player's autograph are just a few of the latest additions. "We are thrilled to add these new items to the ballpark for 2016. We strive to provide a positive fan experience for all who come through our gates. Our hope is with these additions fans will enjoy their time and return as a frequent visitor," said Matthew Drayer, West Virginia Black Bears General Manager.

Tickets!

By Opening Day, Gate A will be strictly used for fans to purchase pregame tickets. All will call tickets can now be picked up at Gate C. The Black Bears have also made each gate ADA accessible so that each and every fan can easily make tier way into the ballpark on game day.

Buy Me Some Peanuts and Cracker Jacks!

Nothing beats delicious ballpark food! New food items such as a foot-long pepperoni roll, humus cups, Philly-cheese steaks and pork barbeque sandwiches have all been added to the already abundant concessions menu. There will also be a new assortment of craft beers to tap that will go perfectly with our new food items.

Can I Have Your Autograph?!

Fans will now have the opportunity to meet the Black Bears at a new "Player Autograph Booth" that will be open until half an hour before the start of each game. Fans will also be able to have pictures taken with the players and have memorabilia signed.

Get Geared Up!

That Sounds Like Fun!

The Black Bears will also be featuring several new promotional theme nights such as, Ghost Buster night, Coal Miner Appreciation night and Christmas in July night.
