PLAY BALL
Perhaps you’ve heard that they’ve got baseball in the Arena District now – at Huntington Park? That’s old news, but the new ballpark brings more to the area than just the boys of summer…
1. Bridal Parties
The structure actually boasts indoor banquet and meeting facilities that book year round for everything from business breakfast meetings to cocktail receptions.
2. Kidstuff
Baseball brings out the kid in all of us, but the new park is especially child-friendly. In fact, children under 12 can go free on Wednesdays through the Knot Hole Kids Club. According to the organization’s Paula Knudsen, “The program has been around for years. Last year, it was referred to as “Kids Night Out.” Before that, it was just the “Kids Club.”
She adds that there’s also a MVP club for kids. Although there’s a small membership fee, it hosts big events like pitching clinics and stadium tours.
3. TweetUps
The old ballgame has arrived with some very new-fangled trends. Still in its infancy, the new park has already hosted a TweetUp. Fan George Black helped coordinate the event, and said, “The idea was to combine a TweetUp with an introduction to the Clippers and Huntington Park. We kept the cost low by using sponsors and we sold out or 100 slots in less than a week.”
Another TweetUp is in the works; for more details click here.
