In 1993, Minor League Baseball was brought back to Wilmington! For the past decade and more, the Wilmington Blue Rocks have provided FUN family entertainment to over 4.2 million fans. Frawley Stadium remains the No. 1 option in the area for a night of quality, affordable family entertainment. The Wilmington Blue Rocks were selected by ESPN, the Worldwide Leader in Sports, to host the Delaware highlights in their “50 States in 50 Days” tour. We brought in our largest single attendance crowd of 7,535! We welcomed over 315,000 fans this past season and it marks the 15th time we have accomplished this achievement. Located in a central area, the Wilmington Blue Rocks draw fans from four different states (Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland). Blue Rocks baseball provides an arena of great affordable opportunities to promote businesses in the ballpark through signage, promotions and print/radio options.
Fans enjoy watching baseball in an intimate "fan friendly" environment. Our average ticket price is $8.00 and our concessions are reasonably priced, making it easy for any budget. The Wilmington Blue Rocks entertain the fans and marketing partners alike with on-field activities, in-game promotions and the ability to relax and enjoy a night out, while getting a great seat close to all the action. The Blue Rocks # 1 fan, Rocky Bluewinkle, the Blue Rocks mascot, runs around the ballpark every night making fans of any age laugh at his silly antics, both on and off the field. When the Rocks score, the stadium erupts as "Mr. Celery" darts out of the home tunnel and dances behind home plate in celebration.
The Wilmington Blue Rocks take great pride in being involved in the community. Rocky Bluewinkle visits approximately 40 schools each year as part of his "Rocky's Reading Challenge", a program that emphasizes the importance of reading to over 120 area schools. Other Blue Rocks programs that have been very successful in positively influencing area school children include the Outstanding Student program, Honorable Youth Citizen program, and the Guest Student Broadcaster program, to name just a few. The Blue Rocks have also partnered with countless area charitable organizations to assist in the raising of funds for good causes. In addition, the Blue Rocks have helped United Cerebral Palsy of Delaware raise over $75,000.
