Open house kicks-off last season of "old" Cheney Stadium | Public Spaces
Title
On Saturday, March 20th, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Tacoma Rainiers will be holding a pre-season party at Cheney Stadium.
Admission to the party is free. Activities will include – ticket sales, tag-a-seat, ballpark tours - including access to the dugouts and the clubhouses, national anthem tryouts, and more.
The Rainiers will be serving up free hot dogs and sodas. Fans will also get a chance to sample ‘Ohana Harbor’s Baseball Blend coffee, a blend that was chosen by Rainiers’ partners and season ticket holders. Bring the kids to see Rhubarb and get their face painted.
A new Rainiers road logo will be unveiled. The team store will be open and stocked with new Nike merchandise.
One feature of this year’s pre-season party will include a “Tour of the Future – Cheney Stadium 2011”. This virtual tour will be held in the gold club at the end of the first baseline. Public who are interested in attending will have a look at preliminary ballpark renderings and hear club officials speak to the value of each addition.
Immediately following the “Tour of the Future”, club officials will be available for and open to questions, opinions, etc. There will also be comments cards to fill out and leave. The Rainiers are hoping to receive public feedback at this event and utilize it to help finalize Cheney Stadium’s renovations.
The three “Tour(s) of the Future” will be held at 11:30 a.m., 12:30 and 1:30 p.m. Guests are asked to sign up for specific tours.
This year will be Tacoma’s last chance to view Cheney Stadium as it stands after 51 years, seven different teams, and over 3,000 games of professional baseball.
