If you want to get more families out to the games, my suggestion is to relook at your prices you are charging. We have been to several games and find the concession prices are way out of line. Coupled with the Racer Stadium hard fast rules of not being able to bring in anything. I am not at Jacobs field, and I don't intend on paying those prices for minor league play. (I don't go to Aero's games for the same reason). I would like to see more of a family atmosphere in pricing and I would love to spend some hard earned money there. ( You can buy 24/25oz Sport Cap Spring Water at GFS for $6.99 selling for about $2 bucks at Firestone Stadium.)
Other than that We Love the Racers and hope they do well.

I believe they are only looking for positive remarks from this post. If you do not want to pay anything than stay home.
Here is a chance for people to see the Racers play for nothing.
Who says you have to buy anything.
They want people to come and keep them alive. They DO NOT need people complaining about prices. This is actually a cheap night out and everyone in attendance really enjoys themselves.

If admission is now free, and parking is free, and you eat lunch or dinner before you get there, you're only looking at snacks to purchase. ?And that would be optional wouldn't it? ?If there was no profit involved with food, the team would have died long ago. ?There's nothing wrong with profit - it's called American capitalism and it's alive and well. ?
No one is forced to go if they feel it's too expensive. ?
But if you choose to sit home, you're missing an entertainment bargain and an inspiration for young girls. ?My 10-yr-old daughter brought a softball and walked away with a ball covered in autographs. ?Olympians. ?College players. ?Local and far. ?The players talked to her about what positions she played, etc. and she had the biggest grin on her face all night to see women athletes hitting doubles and stealing bases.
Tickets: $10 (with coupons) for two - AND NOW IT'S FREE
Parking: $0
Food: $15
Total: $25
Smile on my daughter's face: PRICELESS.

I have been to Racers, Aeros, and Indians games. While I will always love MLB baseball, it is now too expensive to take a family to more than 1 game a year. The Aeros are better, but still pricey for minor League baseball. I think the Racers are the most affordable family entertainment around. Let's take a look at it compared to a movie.
Admission
Racers game ($7.00 which is regular price) Movies ($8.00 depending on where you go)
Concessions (Hot dog, drink, and pop corn for 1 person)
Racers, about $5
Movies about $10
I wait for the DVD and go to the game! let's help the racers market themselves, pass the word around town!

I think it would be Cool if we could all get together and fill the stands by hosting a OFC night.. Try to get all the members that can attend and get to meet all the people that use OFC forum. It may sound stange to some, but I would love to meet the people that use OFC.
God Bless

Anyone with a negative remark about the racers is not a softball fan. I went to watch them play the arizona heat. Great game bustos hit 3 home runs. I saw several travel players there enjoying the game and the best part was not one team left till ALL the autographs were signed. Its a shame more parents dont give there daughters a once in a lifetime thrill of getting a bustos autograph or just seeing her play instead of how much food cost. Fantastic game for the whole family to enjoy and not a bad seat in the stadium. Tyler 12u Valley Extreme Coach

We were there for the Chicago Bandits Series, also what was really amazing was long after the Racers had finished signing anything and everything for the fans, Jenni Finch on the other side was still signing autographs for the fans also. Its really sad that the business community doesn't give the support the same way as the aeros get.
Joey has put literally everything she has into making this work, and My family applaud her for her efforts. Last year Akron was the host for the championship series, again no support from the city to promote it.
Media coverage has been dismal. National publications don't even acknowledge that there is even a league. Even the local paper barely puts anything in print about them. SOAR!

As the Ticket Manager for the Racers, I am excited to see all of your responses! I too played fastpitch for about ten years, and this is my passion! I wish that I could get everybody in Akron to see softball through our eyes.
Also, I am originally from Nebraska...and representing them, it's so exciting to see that you all love softball just like we do!
Any questions? Give me a call at 330-376-8188, just ask for Megan!
