It’s Brent, Ryan, and Anna this week!
Our in-studio guest is the Assistant Food and Beverage Director for the Erie Seawolves, Mathew Turner!
Mathew gives us a brief bio, then talks how he got involved with the Seawolves. It’s a more than full-time job during the season, to be certain!
There’s always a push for new and different food and drink options at the ballpark, and we’re told there will be more alcoholic slushies available this year. We vote to bring back the cotton candy hot dog!
The food and drink options, as well as fun promos are always a driving force for Minor League clubs, and the promotions and on-field shenanigans lead to some hilarious stories!
There’s been a ton of improvements at UPMC Field: fans have seen what’s there for them, but there’s also been renovations for the clubhouse and some creature comforts for the players!
THE BEER SEGMENT!
A collab between our favorite local brewery, Lavery, and Erie Apparel, called “It’s Okay to Love Erie Winter Lager” is the beer of choice this week! Listen in to see what grade we gave it! Also make sure to catch our live stream on Facebook every Saturday morning!
AFTER THE BREAK:
Brent quizzes our guest on his favorite promotion, the “That Thing You Do” event at the ballpark last summer, and this segues into talk about what promotional pitch meetings are like!
We talk some more about the additions at the ballpark, including the new team store, which gives the stadium a more “big league” feel!
Brent and Mathew talk some famous players who’ve come through Erie, and also about the relationship between Erie and their MLB parent club, the Detroit Tigers.
Finally, Brent and Ryan pitch their promotion for next summer, and yes, it will involve Mike Balko racing an Olympic-level athlete while wearing a hot dog costume!
