“A New Era for Scrappers Baseball”
While Scrapper Fest focuses on the party at the mall, the organization is preparing for a historic transformation back at the stadium. When the Scrappers take the field on Opening Day, they will be playing at the newly renamed 7 17 Credit Union Field at Eastwood. This naming rights partnership with 7 17 Credit Union, announced earlier this year, represents a fresh chapter for the franchise and fans.
The season opener on June 2 will also showcase the brand-new, state-of-the-art artificial turf that was recently installed, a first since the team debuted in 1999. The high-performance turf is part of a major investment from the team, along with several additional exciting upgrades to be announced soon, all designed to provide a top-tier experience for both players and fans alike.
“Between our partnership with 7 17 Credit Union and the new turf, this season is the start of a new era for Scrappers baseball,” said the team’s Executive Vice President, Jordan Taylor. “We encourage everyone to come out for Scrapper Fest, have some fun with the family, meet our new players, and get a taste of all the great treats offered not only at the ballpark but from around the Eastwood Mall as well.”
