The Eau Claire Express are proud to announce a new partnership with Kwik Trip involving the popular 5-Game Pack that has been offered since the 2016 season. As a result of the partnership, additional benefits will be offered to Kwik Trip 5-Game Pack holders in 2019.

The Kwik Trip 5-Game Pack will feature two plans for fans to choose from. One will be focused primarily weekend games and July 4 while the other focuses on weekday games. Fans will continue to enjoy the 90-minute food and beverage buffet, easy ticket exchange policy, Express jersey giveaway, and ability to take batting practice on the historic Carson Park field. These benefits are available to all fans that purchase the $70 5-Game Pack.

“Kwik Trip is very excited to partner with the Eau Claire Express on the upcoming baseball season,” Marketing Projects Supervisor Teresa Clark said. “We look forward to being part of the 5-Game Pack promotion. This promotion will offer Express fans and Kwik Trip guests a great value and a great game of baseball.”

Kwik Trip’s support of the package will allow for new benefits this season. The food buffet line will include dessert items from Kwik Trip along with expanded food varieties. Fans will also receive an exclusive bobblehead doll of Hank Aaron, celebrating his time with the Eau Claire Bears in 1952. The only way to get this exclusive Hank Aaron bobblehead doll is to buy a $70 Kwik Trip 5-Game Pack or the upgrade option on a season ticket.

“When people think of Kwik Trip, they think of great value,” Express General Manager Jacob Servais stated. “We are appreciative of their support, as we think the partnership will allow us to continually improve the value associated with our most popular ticket package.”

The Express began offering the 5-Game Pack in 2016 to include a reserved game ticket, 90-minute food and beverage buffet, and easy ticket exchange policy for five games at an affordable price. The team made improvements to food varieties in 2017 and followed that by adding gifts and exclusive experiences in 2018. This past season saw 5-Game Pack holders receive a jersey, hat, mug, and opportunity to take batting practice on the field.

The Express recently completed its 14th season of play in the Northwoods League. The Kwik Trip 5-Game Pack can be purchased by calling the Express office at 715-839-7788 or by clicking here.
