Mud Hens Game on July 20!

Leave a comment

Our July PPBA Membership Meeting & Dinner will be a group outing to a Toledo Mud Hens Game on Wednesday, July 20th. They will be playing Pawtucket @ 7:05 pm. We may have a short business meeting at 6:30 with buffet dinner to follow during the game.

The cost is $20 for members, which will include dinner and game, and $30 for guests and non-members.

You are welcome to invite friends and family (kids and grandkids welcome). The deadline for RSVP has been extended to July 15. You can sign on line at http://ppba.memberlodge.com or contact Mary Lichtenwald at maryliz630@aol.com or 419-472-6529 or Joyce Ejhinger at jejhinger@aol.com or 419-320-9979. We need payment in advance. You will need a ticket and wrist band to enter.

You will enter through the Swap Shop on St. Clair or Washington Streets. You will take the elevator to the 3rd floor.

We will have a private area for PPBA in the Roost. The Roost is the most popular party and entertainment space at Fifth Third Field, and for good reason. There’s nothing like it, anywhere. Located in right field, The Roost offers guests the opportunity to be inside or to watch the game from an outdoor deck that ESPN.com says offers the best seats in Minor League Baseball.

You can drive and park, carpool or…Catch the TARTA Shuttle at the Alexis Rd. Meijer (1500 E. Alexis Road)

Muddy™ Shuttle Park-N-Ride:

  • Arrive at any TARTA Muddy Shuttle Park-N-Ride location one hour before home game time for a direct ride to Fifth Third Field.
  • It’s only $1.25 per person—60¢ for seniors 65+ and persons with disabilities—each way, payable each time you board the Muddy Shuttle. No game ticket is required to ride.
  • Return trips leave 20 minutes after the end of the game. Or, when post-game fireworks are featured, return bus trips leave 20 minutes after the fireworks. When the game’s over, please board your Muddy Shuttle bus on the first-base side of Fifth Third Field on Washington and N. Huron Streets.
  • Ride any TARTA bus downtown to a Mud Hens game for the regular fare.
