Details: The Bowling Green Hot Rods’ approach to their second season of promotional giveaways is simple - stick with what worked in the first season.
An expanded fireworks schedule and a sequel to “What Could’ve Been Night” highlight the Hot Rods’ 2010 promotional schedule, which was released today. Bowling Green general manager/CEO Brad Taylor said he is excited about what is in store for fans this season at Bowling Green Ballpark.
“I think it is a very strong promotional schedule,” Taylor said. “This is a year we can have fun with our promotional schedule because we saw what took off last year and what the fans of southcentral Kentucky and Bowling Green like. At the end of the day, it is just added value for people when they buy a $5 or $10 ticket to get all this added value that goes with attending the Hot Rod game.”
Perhaps the most anticipated night of the season will be “What Could’ve Been Night 2” on Aug. 28, when the first 1,000 fans will receive a bobble-tail Cave Shrimp doll, a reference to the polarizing nickname suggestion for the Class A club.
“When you win national awards for ‘What Could Have Been Night,’ there has to be a Part 2,” Taylor said. “It’s going to have to be our perpetuating thing now. I think that is one of the fun and unique things you’ll see in Minor League Baseball this year.”
The Hot Rods will also offer fireworks after every Friday night home game, and fans who attend Agriculture Night on July 31 will receive a bobblehead honoring the team mascot, Axle.
Among the new giveaways this season will be school-themed days. Kids will get Hot Rod lunch boxes July 25 and Hot Rod backpacks Aug. 1.
There will also be a full-size skateboard deck giveaway on May 31.
“One of the things we saw at the winter meetings was the skate deck,” Taylor said. “When we found out that half of the (Major League Baseball) teams have signed on to do them, we took a good look at it. It was pretty easy for us with the skate park right behind the stadium.”
Taylor added that the Hot Rods might have a few more promotional days in the works.
“We’ve got some other stuff we are working on with some local partners to see what we can get going in the next 75 to 80 days before first pitch,” Taylor said.
