Description: This professional minor league (Atlantic League) baseball team played its first game in May 2005 in its specially built $23 million Clipper Magazine Stadium (it holds 6,500 fans). Regular season (70 home games, 70 away) goes Apr through Sept. Individual adult tickets are $5 in advance, $6 game day for lawn seat; $8 in advance, $9 game day for field box seat; and $10 in advance, $11 game day for dugout box seat. Kids 12 and under who come to the game wearing a youth athletic league uniform, jersey, or T-­shirt get in free for field box seating (a complimentary ticket must still be obtained, beginning at 4 p.m., at the Barnstormers box office). Generally, stadium gates open 1 hour before the scheduled game time, Mon through Thurs, and 1.5 hours prior to the first pitch on weekends. Want a special announcement over the public address system or on the scoreboard to celebrate a special occasion or even offer a proposal of marriage? Just submit your request in writing or via e-­mail at least 24 hours prior to the game (game-­day requests will be accommodated if scheduling allows) and make a $5 donation to a designated charity. Players are happy to sign autographs before the umpires take to the field. Wheelchair-­accessible parking is available—call for details.
