Fun Date Ideas at Our Stadium

Date Night Can Be a Hit at Dow Diamond

Whether you're looking to make a great first impression or need a romantic night away with your partner, a trip to the ballpark offers a unique and memorable experience. That's what makes a Great Lakes Loons game at Dow Diamond an easy choice if you need fun date ideas in the Great Lakes Bay Region of Michigan. With exciting promotions each and every night, you're sure to find something you and your date will enjoy – and the stadium is just a short drive from Saginaw and Bay City, MI. Let Great Lakes Loons show you what you're in for when you head out for a game.

Why Have Your Date Night at Dow Diamond?

When trying to create the perfect date night, you may feel tremendous pressure and wind up going out to a local restaurant like usual. Instead of falling back into the familiar, you can branch out and let the Great Lakes Loons bring the entertainment to you. This way, you will focus on what matters most: spending time together.

Aside from getting to cheer on the Great Lakes Loons, a date night at a baseball game provides quality time to get to know the person better. Whether you're on a blind date asking icebreakers or have been together for years and are exploring more serious topics, a baseball game allows for calm, casual viewing with exciting moments interspersed. Unlike movies that don't allow for many conversations, a game lets you and your date chat without the formality of a fancy restaurant. It even limits awkward silence, as there is always something to watch on the field.

Of course, no date would be complete without food and drinks. Thankfully, Dow Diamond offers some of the best tasting food around – and at a price that is hard to beat. Come to a game on Thursday to enjoy half-price drafts, courtesy of our Thirsty Thursday promotion. Test your knowledge at The Cove Bar by playing live bar trivia while sipping Michigan-based craft beers. If you head to the stadium on a Friday, $1 hot dogs will keep your stomach – and wallet – from feeling empty.

Great Lakes Loons Helps Turn Date Ideas Into Memories

Dates at Dow Diamond will bring you closer together thanks to the stadium's state-of-the-art amenities, including fireplaces and outfield fire pits that let you snuggle up and get cozy during a brisk night game. Throughout the season, we offer post-game excitement in the form of Fireworks Loontaculars. Stick around after the game as we light up the skies, and you just might find that special spark you've been looking for.

A game at Dow Diamond even offers some one-of-a-kind moments. With celebrities showing up at the ballpark from time to time, you might find yourself starstruck, and with a massive 31-foot-by-80-foot LED video board, you may see yourselves on the big screen to make your own romantic highlight.

Is your babysitter unable to make it? No problem! You can still enjoy time alone with your date with the kids in tow at a Great Lakes Loons game. Young fans will love playing in Lou E.'s Lookout, a kids' play area that keeps them entertained while you enjoy quality time with your partner. Plenty of fun activities and events are available to help little ones get into the spirit.
