MANKATO, MN- The Mankato Habaneros are thrilled to announce an expanded partnership with ISG. This exciting collaboration brings forth two new initiatives that will enhance the fan experience and community engagement.

The first initiative is the introduction of the ISG Home Plate Club, an exclusive area within the ballpark that offers premium seating and amenities for fans to enjoy the game in style. The ISG Home Plate Club provides a unique up-close viewing opportunity for small groups and VIP services.

The second initiative is the Habaneros for a Day program, designed to create unforgettable memories for young fans aged 6 to 12. Through this program, a lucky child will have the opportunity to become the honorary team captain for a day. The selected child will participate in special activities, including batting practice and pre-game festivities, and will have the unique privilege of sitting on the bench with the team during the game. This program aims to inspire young fans and foster a deeper connection with the team and the sport of softball.

“We are excited to expand our partnership with ISG to bring these new initiatives to our fans,” said Caleb Chapman, General Manager of the Mankato Habaneros. “The ISG Home Plate Club will provide an elevated experience for our supporters, while the Habaneros for a Day program allows us to connect with the next generation of softball enthusiasts in a meaningful way. We look forward to creating unforgettable moments at the ballpark together with ISG.”

The Mankato Habaneros and ISG are committed to enhancing the fan experience and giving back to the community through these innovative initiatives. Stay tuned for more exciting announcements and events throughout the season.
