Questions about playing at the Ballpark

funneldrill-

We have been playing out at the ballpark for the last several years, and sorry to burst your bubble, but you have to get in line. They have a program where each school that is in the group of however many, sells tickets to their games. If you sell all the tickets you keep playing, if not the next year it will go to someone else in line. So you can talk with the Rangers, but unless i am mistaken you will have to get in line.

Jbb is right as far as I know... as for people you can contact outside of the Rangers organization. I'd say any coach from any school that plays there now... or if you want the people at the schools who organize it, just send me a PM.

Sounds good. That is what I figured. It is not something that has to happen, just something that I think would be great for the kids.

FD -- I asked the same question a few weeks ago and posters here responded that you have to sell 1000 tickets in exchange for a game at the Ballpark. I am going to suggest it to our booster club. I imagine the game slots are limited.

You have to sell $10,000 worth of tickets. I also hear they do the same kinda thing at the Rough Riders. Might be easier to get a spot?

Whoever was nice enough to private message me the email address for the contact person with the Rangers...could you send it again? That message has disappeared.

Thanks!

I think at Roughriders stadium you only have to sell 500, might be easier to get a game there.

This is a fantastic fundraiser, not to mention a great time. Yes, you have to sell a number of tickets so the real key is to get an opponent with a Booster Club as active as you all are. HP and SLC did it 2 years ago and made a killing. We, CHS, wanted to do it but got into it at the last minute and we were not confident in our opponents's ability to sell tickets. It is a great deal. Just pick an opponent that can carry their load.

I have 2 big hurdles to climb in order to do this.

1) Find an opponent
2) Find an opponent that can play on the limited dates that I can. We are adding a team to our district next year and we now have 16 district games. So, I only have 1 non-district game to schedule and only 3-4 dates on my schedule to play on.

Our booster club has the money, that is not an issue at all. We can sell the tickets easily. If any one else out there is needing an opponent, have their booster club president email me at senaar@mansfieldisd.org

FD....sent you a PM...

Got it, thanks!

FD, sent you a PM.

As it turns out, one of my former players works in the Rangers front office so he is going to get me in contact with the powers that be. Also, he brother is senior front office staff with the Roughriders so my bases are covered.

Thanks for the PM's.
