Fans coming to the ballpark have a lot to keep up with. The shouting vendors, the delicious food, as well as the action on the field are constantly competing for the spectator’s attention. With all this going on, it is important that your signage stands out above the rest.
Minor league baseball is a half a billion dollar industry and attracted more than 37 million fans to games in 2016. Minor league stadiums provide many advertising opportunities from the dugout to the outfield, the press box and vendor areas.
A Local Feel
Although the stadiums are much smaller compared to a major league ballpark, minor league baseball offers fans as much more intimate, family friendly experience. The majority of these stadiums are located in small markets across the country. This greatly benefits local businesses because advertisers know, for the most part, who will be coming into the stadium and seeing their advertisements. This is why, on average, 75% of advertising in minor league ballparks are local.
Cheaper Costs
One of the major benefits of advertising your company at a minor league stadium is the low costs. Generally, a full season outfield sign can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000 dollars, which is roughly less than a tenth of what a similar advertisement might cost at the major league level. Considering, on average, around 4,000-8,000 fans are at each Triple-A minor league game, that’s a lot of eyeballs focused on your ad.
Advertise to All Ages
Although most minor league games consist of mostly true baseball fans, minor league teams do a great job in bringing in non-fans. Due to much cheaper ticket prices, minor league games often attract families looking for a night out a the ballpark. This offers advertisers a much more broad demographic to aim for with their signage.
