HERE'S WHAT WE NEED YOU TO DO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (by June 17th):
- To be included in the Redbirds game, the parade of teams and buffet we need you to call (901) 531-7410 and ask for the FCA World Series on-site representative
- Let the FCA World Series representative know whether or not you will be going to the game (which we hope you all do);
- Also, give this person the following information:
- The Name of your Team, Age Group, and AA or AAA Division;
- How many players & coaches need the free game tickets & free dinner vouchers (3 coaches is normal; Please don't abuse this by adding more coaches to save money; I would really appreciate your honesty on this!);
- How many family & friends need game tickets @ $10.00 Each.
- NOTE: 3 and Under are free if they are going to sit on someone's lap. If they need a seat, they will need to have a $10-purchased ticket.
- NOTE: All non-players & coaches will need to enter through the main ticket gates and meet up with the team in the right field seating area. They will NOT be permitted to enter the ball park through the same Fourth Street Gate as the players & coaches, because the tickets are different.
