Albuquerque Isotopes and Minor League Baseball Announce Esurance Home Field Advantage Award
(ALBUQUERQUE, NM) - 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.
Albuquerque Isotopes fans are encouraged to continue to support the Isotopes 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.
"Fan support has always been paramount to the success of the Albuquerque Isotopes, both at Isotopes Park and in the community," said General Manager John Traub.
The Isotopes' promotional calendar is packed with fun-filled events to entertain every kind of fan.
During the homestretch of the 2016 campaign, the Isotopes still have a slate of fun and exciting promotions still to come, including Princess Night, PAW Patrol Night, "Better Call Saul" Night, along with numerous giveaways and fireworks shows.
Last month, Esurance and Minor League Baseball announced a strategic multi-year partnership making it the exclusive home and auto insurance partner of Minor League Baseball. To learn more about Esurance's Call-Up Worthy campaign with Minor League Baseball, visit www.MiLB.com/CallUpWorthy.
