During Fan Fest, fans will have exclusive access to one of the most celebrated ballparks in Minor League Baseball when they can take batting practice and play catch on the field at the DBAP. The Bulls box office will be open during the event, selling tickets for individual games including Opening Day on April 8th and the 4th of July fireworks extravaganza. By purchasing at least one ticket to a 2013 regular season Bulls game at Fan Fest, fans will get a free lunch at the concession stands.
New for 2013, Fan Fest will be the first stop of the MLB.com Academy Mobile Tour. The Raleigh-based MLB.com/academy will capture video of fans hitting, then upload and compare their swings against MLB pros using automated video analysis technology. The MLB.com/academy interactive space will also feature a skills area, magazine cover shoot and new youth equipment testing.
Other events scheduled for Fan Fest include:
- Wool E. Bull posing for pictures and signing autographs
- Up to 50% off select merchandise in the Ballpark Corner Store, including select fitted caps
- Full range of inflatables for young Bulls fans to enjoy
- Select-a-Seat event highlighting available season ticket and mini-plan seat locations
