Bridgeport Bluefish looking for host families to house players during the 2016 season
(Bridgeport, Conn – December 10, 2015) – The Bridgeport Bluefish are currently seeking community members that are interested in becoming host families for a Bluefish player during the 2016 baseball season.
Hosting a player has many benefits to a family. It is a valuable way to provide a player with a home while keeping them involved in the community and also gives you the opportunity to be involved with the Bluefish on a personal level. For many families, hosting a player has made a special impact on their lives as well as their “adopted” family member.
“Becoming a host family is a great way for fans to connect with the Bluefish,” said General Manager Jamie Toole. “It also allows the members of the team to truly respect the city they play for with a place to call home for a season.”
The requirements for becoming a host family include the ability to provide a private bedroom and access to a bathroom, kitchen and washer/dryer. If you wish to include any other amenities for your host player, it would be greatly appreciated.
For becoming a host family the Bluefish will give you the opportunity to attend every home game during the 2016 season. You will also be invited to many special events throughout the year, including a batting practice/picnic event where your family will be able to take live batting practice on the field. For making one of our players feel at home, we will make sure you feel like part of our family as well.
Here are some of the other benefits you will receive when you become a host family:
-10% discount at the Bluefish Gear Shop
-Four (4) complimentary tickets to every regular-season home game
-One (1) Luxury Suite night, which includes 25 tickets (any Monday-Thursday game, based on availability)
-One (1) parking pass, valid for all regular-season home games and events
-Four (4) complimentary tickets to all regular-season Bluefish Special Events
-Four (4) complimentary suite tickets to Opening Day (Thursday, April 28th, 7:12 pm)
