Ballpark Guide
Jennifer Lamb-Mahoney will be our Ballpark Guide for this episode. She works as one of their mascot performers. She shares her experience on how she got the job as a mascot performer and what it’s like to perform as a mascot.
Jennifer then takes us around Wolff Stadium where she talks about the promotions and events that fans can schedule their trip around.
We learn about where we can stay if we make it an overnight trip and what parking is like once we arrive at the stadium.
Jennifer also shares some of her favorite foods like the cheesesteak with homemade chips that you might want to try when you come to Wolff Stadium. We finish the interview with some fun things for kids to do while at the game.
Fan Guide
Our Fan guide this week is Charles Dennis. Charles is a former season ticket holder of the San Antonio Missions but recently moved to Kentucky.
We begin our interview by learning how he got his 51stubs handle and his extensive pin collection for his maps. He uses the map and pins to keep track of all the stadiums and arenas he has been to. He talks about how many ballparks he’s been to and how many he plans on making it to this year.
Charles then takes us on a tour of Wolff Stadium from a fan perspective. He shares what makes the stadium unique even though it’s one of the older stadiums in Minor League Baseball. He talks about the location of the ballpark and why being near an Air Force Base makes it special.
Charles then gives us some of his favorite treats to get if he was to have something at the ballgame and shares where you can find some solace from the Texas heat while watching Missions baseball. Hint: there’s a secret section you should consider sitting.
Promotions at the Missions are very popular just as they are at most minor league ballparks. Charles talks about some of the fun promos that occur during the game. We also get another tip from Charles on how to approach promos while waiting in line.
It’s time for us to go around San Antonio. Of course, there’s the Alamo and the Riverwalk but Charles tells us an exciting hotel and bar to visit if you do stop by the Alamo.
San Antonio is well known for BBQ. Charles tells us a couple of places that he recommends while you're in town. If burgers are more your thing then there is a delicious local place that he recommends as well. San Antonio makes the best tacos in Texas and Charles gives us his favorite place plus a list you can get of 365 different places done by the local newspaper. Last but not least we can’t forget Tex-Mex. One place that may be considered controversial in San Antonio in regards to what is good Tex-Mex is suggested in this interview.
