Big BLUE Shout out to Frawley Stadium, home of the Wilmington Blue Rocks, voted The Best Ballpark of the High A via the People’s Choice competition hosted by BallPark Digest. According to BallPark Digest’s Publisher Kevin Reichard, “High A voting was an interest mix, as fans needed to choose between standard facilities in the California and Carolina League and the Florida State League ballparks pulling double duty as spring-training facilities.”
“Wilmington is a special place and Frawley is a special ballpark,” said Blue Rocks majority owner Dave Heller. “We are grateful to our fans across Delaware and our region who have honored Frawley Stadium as a top ballpark and entertainment venue. This award is great recognition from the most widely respected publication in our industry, and we look forward to celebrating with our fans at our ballpark.”
“Frawley Stadium offers such a great experience for fans, between the great promotions and the unique mascots,” said Kevin Reichard, Ballpark Digest publisher. “It’s no surprise fans responded with such enthusiasm and voted in Frawley Stadium.” View more of Kevin’s article here –> Best of the Ballparks: Frawley Stadium.
