Esurance Home Field Advantage Award Announced
LAS VEGAS, NV - As the second half of the season gets underway, Minor League Baseball and Esurance today unveiled the first annual Esurance Home Field Advantage Award. One Minor League Baseball team in each of the 14 leagues will receive the award based on the highest percentage capacity of the ballpark during the 2016 season.
Las Vegas 51s fans are encouraged to continue to support the 51s in this friendly competition by attending games in the home stretch of the regular season. The winning teams will be announced in September and honored at the 2016 Baseball Winter Meetings™ in National Harbor, Maryland, this December. A celebration for the hometown fans of each winning team will also take place at their respective ballparks at the start of the 2017 season.
"The 51s are extremely fortunate for the incredible community support that the Las Vegas valley provides. As we approach the last month of our regular season, fans will have numerous chances to watch the 51s as they compete for the division crown, all the while enjoying multiple promotional nights like $1 Menu Mondays, $1 Beer Thursdays, the four Friday night fireworks shows, and three Saturday giveaway nights. Having Esurance as a new partner for Minor League Baseball is exciting and they understand the value each team has in its community. We look forward to welcoming fans to all of our remaining games and winning this award in the Pacific Coast League." - General Manager Chuck Johnson.
The Las Vegas 51s promotional calendar is packed with fun-filled events to entertain every kind of fan. With game day promotions ranging from Super Hero Night (August 6) to a Las Vegas 51s Elvis Themed Jersey Night (August 27), it's no wonder that we've nicknamed this coming month's promotional calendar: "Amazin' August". Fans will also have the opportunity to enjoy our traditional game day promotions such as our Smith's Value Menu Mondays, Budweiser Dollar Beer Nights, and the 8 News Now Viva Las Vegas Fireworks Shows. Mark your calendars, the fun has only just begun. Subscribe to the Las Vegas 51s home game schedule on the team website at LV.51.com.
