WORCESTER, MA — The Worcester Red Sox today announced new “Seating, Heating, and
Eating” options at Polar Park for 2023. Tickets for spring games (Opening Day and April & May)
are on sale now. The WooSox open their third season at Polar Park Friday, March 31, at 4:05
p.m., vs. the Syracuse Mets and are followed by UniBank Fireworks after the game.
A "Top 10 List” of improvements includes a large, new Fan Deck on Plymouth Street that
provides even more family-friendly entertainment with three cornhole games, a stage for live
music, and new menu items. Four canopies will provide shelter from rain, shade from sun, and
warmth on cool evenings. The area, just beyond the Simply Orthodontics Berm, includes 36
tables and 175 seats in left-center field. The area will be accessible to anyone in the ballpark,
and is especially intended as an amenity for those with $9 WooSox Loop tickets or $8 Yaz
tickets.

“We want Opening Day to be like Christmas Morning,” said Red Sox Hall of Famer Larry
Lucchino, Chairman and Principal Owner of the WooSox. “We seek to unwrap these new gifts
and show our fans that we continue to listen to their ideas and add innovations to this beautiful
ballpark.

“In 2021, we debuted the Berm in mid-season. In 2022, we activated Summit Street, and now in
2023, we are adding the Fan Deck. Ballparks continue to grow and evolve.”
To add warmth to springtime games, the club is adding heaters throughout the concourse and in
Group Venues such as the Hanover Deck, FLEXcon Landing, Shaw’s Home Bullpen Terrace,
the new JetBlue Hanger at the Triple Decker Garden, and at the new Fan Deck. Cabanas will
also enhance the experience at these Group Venues.

New England clam chowder and authentic lobster rolls will now be available throughout the
ballpark, and tacos will make their debut on “Taco & Tequila Tuesdays,” presented by Tequila
Herradura, when fans can enjoy three tacos and a margarita for $12.

In addition, Polar Park will now add ticket booths at Gates B and C. Fans will now be able to
pick up Will Call tickets or purchase tickets at all of the ballpark’s four gates (A, B, C, and D).

Adding comfort to standing room, new drink rails at Craft Corner and on Summit Street will allow
fans to set down their food and beverages while enjoying the game. Both areas are open to all
fans and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Five “Blue Woo Shuttles,” up from two, will provide free transportation from the many city lots
and parking areas throughout downtown. The additions will help ensure regular and frequent
pickups.

For kids, a new swing set will add fun and activity to the 8th Hill behind the videoboard.
To help ensure that fans do not miss a pitch, 42” televisions will be added to the main
restrooms.

Heeding multiple requests from fans, Polar Park’s in-seat service menu will expand to include
popular chicken tenders and French fries.

The club will also enhance its peanut allergy-friendly efforts. The club will introduce a ballparkwide
Peanut Allergy-Friendly Week from May 14–21, when the club will deep clean the ballpark
in advance of the homestand (May 16–21) and provide no peanuts or peanut products at Polar
Park. And for the second straight year, the Simply Orthodontics Berm will be peanut allergyfriendly
all season long.

The “Top 10 List” of ballpark improvements and enhancements were unveiled to Season Ticket
Members today at a luncheon dubbed, “Even More to Do and See in WooSox ’23,” in the DCU
Club at Polar Park. WooSox Chairman & Principal Owner Larry Lucchino and renowned
ballpark designer Janet Marie Smith headlined the panel discussion that will be telecast by
NESN several times throughout February.
