A fun sport promotion that took place at Durham Bulls during the one of the inning changes was a “Rock On” promotion. There was a leader on the field directing the activity to see who will sing the best. The singing competition is between the seats along the 3rd and 1st bases. A popular rock song will play for the 1st base seats and they will have sing a portion of the song and then the 3rd base team will have a different song to compete against the 1st base crowd.
Build-A-Burrito
Lake County Captains created an on field promotion put on by Chipotle. They chose 2 fans between the ages of 10-13 and had them race against each other to see who can build a burrito faster. There was rice, beans, lettuce, and meat in fabric form placed on the field that they had to put in the burrito and race back to the finish. The winner got a burrito from Chipotle. This was a fun activity to promote Chipotle burritos.
