Selected highlights:
Food. What about the food?MiLB.com: How would you characterize your team's fan base? Has it grown or changed in recent years?
RA: Our fan base is comprised of families, corporate groups in our hospitality areas and the casual baseball fan. From day one, the West Michigan community has embraced and supported the team and organization with both individual and corporate support. Those qualities remain strong heading into our 15th season. Also, we definitely benefit from having a strong fan base of Detroit Tigers fans, which helps our affiliation with the parent club.
I have been tasked with getting a picture of Cornzilla.MiLB.com: Does your concession stand serve any regional specialties or otherwise remarkable items?
RA: Our big concession item and fan favorite is the Swimming Pig, a pork chop sandwich slathered in barbeque sauce. We even have a second mascot -- Franky, the Swimming Pig -- at every home game. We also try to add unique items each season like Deep Fried Pepsi, which was added last year. It's deep-fried Pepsi-flavored donut balls with Pepsi syrup and whipped cream poured on top.
Also, we will start serving ears of West Michigan corn for the 2008 season made fresh via a corn roaster, nicknamed "Cornzilla." People are already asking for it.
How tough was that?
