At the First Pitch Event, the Kingfish unveiled a new digital scoreboard that will be installed beyond the right centerfield fence. Following the 2014 season, the Kingfish conducted a fan survey with more than 1,000 participants. The number one request for improving the fan experience was an upgraded scoreboard. This feedback prompted the newest renovation to Simmons Field.
In addition to the new scoreboard, the Kingfish announced a partnership with the KAC and will have a new location for pre-game tailgate parties for the upcoming season. The Kingfish hosted several large corporate outings in 2014, sometimes as large as 1,500 people. This new park-like area located on the KAC property next to Simmons Field will allow for a more private atmosphere in a more open setting while offering close proximity to the ballpark.
Rounding out the improvements was the new and improved 7-game pack food and beverage set-up for 2015. In addition to adding a BBQ rib sandwich to the menu, 7-game pack holders will also have a private buffet set-up separate from the main concession stand on a nightly basis. This new tented area will be located behind the third base grandstand and will alleviate congestion in the main courtyard in an effort to serve 7-game pack holders more efficiently.
The Kingfish will open the season at home on Tuesday, May 26th at 7:05 pm as they take on the St. Cloud Rox. Kingfish single-game tickets will go on-sale on Saturday, April 25th at 9:00 am.
