As previously mentioned, our on-field successes have been numerous, as we’ve routinely showcased some of the best talent in all of minor league ball. RHP Lucas Giolito was voted the Top Pro Prospect in the entire South Atlantic League, adding to an already impressive list of players to have donned Suns jerseys recently, including current Nationals superstars Bryce Harper, Stephen Strasburg, and Ryan Zimmerman. The Nats organization has produced one of the most talent-laden farm systems in the game since 2007 and that talent has continued to earn us recognation on a national level. Off the field and in the stands, we continue to develop and cultivate creative partnerships to promote local business/causes and to offer our fans the quality entertainment and promotions that have become synonomous with Suns baseball. So, whether it’s a Sunday Funday run around the bases or a Thirsty Thursday in the Beer Garden, there are ample opportunities for business and/or pleasure at Municipal Stadium for men, women, children, and businesses/organizations alike.

BORN TO BE WILD...AND WOOLIE? Woolie let’s the crowd know who’s “#1” while making his All-American entrance courtesy of the local Harley Davidson dealership before the start of a July 4th contest versus the West Virginia Power.

With a roster of talented players looking to follow up on

a great season and a front office staff dedicated to giving

our customers one unforgettable experience, Municipal

Stadium will certainly be a popular destination this year.

If you’re looking to get in on the fun, here are some ways

to get connected with us.

Ensure your representation at all Municipal Stadium events this season (both game day and non-game day) with these ballpark

signage staples.

permanent

•concourse banner

lightpole banner

windscreen banner

inner bowl banner

batting cage sign

outfield banner

dugout top ad

cupholder ad

backlit concourse sign

starting lineup board

An upscale alternative to the concourse banner, these enclosed signs contain a lighting system for increased visibility at night time events as well as protection from the elements.

Our most popular form of concourse advertising, these banners line the third base side concourse and are visible to fans in the concessions area, as well as those fans entering and leaving the Beer Garden and Picnic areas.

Interior-facing windscreens line the tops of the first and third base bleach-ers while exterior-facing windscreens lining the back of the grandstand and the top of first base bleachers are visible to most incoming fans, as well as pedestrians and motorists traveling along Memorial Boulevard.

Used primarily as a complimentary sign, these vertical banners are a great way to increase your visibility in the main entrance/concourse area.

A field level alternative to the outfield banner, these banners hang from the inside of the seating bowl on the first and third base sides, putting your business right on the field of play.

Perched atop the batting cage roof just beyond the left field wall, this 32-foot wide, wooden, signage area stands out above the outfield banners below and is a popular destination for homerun balls.

Available in several sizes, outfield banners are one of our most popular forms of advertising due to their size, location, and arrangement.

A popular site for many in-game entertainment activities and visible to the majority of seated fans, the home and visitor dugout tops could be a fun and unique way to promote your business.

In addition to advertising, the concourse is also a great area to have your picture taken with Woolie!

Imagine your advertisement afixed to the front of each of Municipal Stadium’s 512 cupholders. Need we say more?

Also located on the concourse, directly behind home plate, this large chalk-board features ad space in addition to the starting lineups for every Suns home game.

Commercial | Provide us with a 15-30 second spot and we’ll play it for all of our fans to see.

At-Bat Sponsor | Choose a spot in the Suns lineup and your logo will appear alongside the corresponding player’s headshot each time that player steps up to the plate.

mascot advertisingAnother underutilized advertising area, having your name on the jersey of the Suns most visible personality will garner plenty of positive recognition.

public address ad

press box

field suite

Whether it’s pregame, between innings, or postgame, audio promotion via our pressbox public address system is a tried and true method of sports advertising. Sponsor an inning, promote special offers, or play your trademark jingle to keep your brand in the minds of our fans.

A workplace for writers, broadcasters, and other game day personnel, the Municipal Stadium press box is the communications hub for every Suns home game and a vital area for successful gameday operation. A naming rights partnership with a media and/or communications company would be a natural fit.

Commonly referred to as the “V.I.P. Suite,” this partitioned area, located just beyond the infield along the first base line, seats 25 people, making it a popular spot for children’s birthday parties and smaller corporate outings.

In Minor League Baseball, every inch of a ballpark is for sale. Purchase the right to name/brand one of Municipal Stadium’s prominent areas . . . or buy naming rights on the entire

complex!

What business or organization doesn’t like to be associated with children and fun? Located on the concourse to the left of Municipal Stadium’s main entrance, our Fun Zone arcade and activity center is a great place for your advertisement!

Built in a mere six weeks in 1930, Municipal Stadium is a city landmark and one of the three oldest Minor League baseball stadiums in the country.

Our renowned Beer Garden features a field level view along the third base line furnished with standing cocktail tables, in addition to a large pavillion, complete with beer concessions. A popular spot to watch any Suns game, this area is ground zero for our lively Thirsty Thursday draft beer promotions.

Adjacent to the Beer Garden, our spacious, multi-tiered, left field picnic area offers a great view of the game, making it ground zero for large, corporate game day gatherings, as well as the majority of our non-game day events.
