We would like to welcome the Joliet Slammers to the Patch community!
When a local business interacts with Patch by claiming its listing, we like to say thank you with a short question-and-answer session to help community members get to know the business. Contact us if you're interested in having your business featured here.
Today, Patch features Aaron Morse, Director of Broadcasting & Media Relations for the Joliet Slammers
What do the Joliet Slammers offer?
The Slammers offer affordable entertainment for the people of Will County and the surrounding areas. Our tickets start at only $5. We have fireworks after every Friday night home game during our season. Every Monday-Wednesday home game we offer the "Blue Collar Buffet" which is an all-you-can-eat buffet on the concourse. $20 gets you your ticket and access to the buffet. Every Thursday game is "Thirsty Thursday" so fans can enjoy drink specials. Arrive early this year as our new "J.L. Early Bird Special" means big food & drink discounts for the first 30 minutes after the gates open. Parking is always free for our games.
When were the Joliet Slammers founded?
We were founded in December of 2010. The previous team that played at Silver Cross Field was the Joliet JackHammers. Silver Cross Field opened in 2002.
What do people not know about Joliet Slammers?
We are more than just a baseball team. Our organization is striving to make Silver Cross Field an entertainment destination year-round. Check out silvercrossfield.com for more details on some of the exciting events we have planned this year when the Slammers are not playing.
Is there anything you would like to tell Patch readers?
We have fun every day at Silver Cross Field and we would love for you to join us! Ticket sales are up 32 percent from where they were at this time last season and we can't wait to entertain you all summer long. The video attached to this (post) is just one example of some of the wacky fun we love to have at the ballpark.
