Ogden Raptors Update: Home Opener on June 19th

If you're not a Raptors fan... you ain't a REAL Ogdenite
Season home opener: June 19th

By Dave Baggot
Raptors Co-owner

Hello Raptor Fans:

Well the season is fast approaching and it seems a bit overwhelming to me about getting everything finished on time. Construction is scheduled to be completed on the 15th of June but they are hoping to get us some areas to set up before that date. There is a new photo gallery of the construction if you care to check out the website.

The players are scheduled to arrive Sunday June 8th with the first workout being Monday June 9th. Host Families should be prepared to take players home immediately upon arrival.

Speaking of Host Families, apparently we are short on meeting the amount of necessary families. We may need up to (5) additional, so if you are interested in becoming a host family, please call Sherry Kessel at (801) 698-1233. Sherry will tell you what the needs are and what perks go with the honor of being a Host Family. Of course you can call me at 393-2400 for more information.

Game Day tickets go on sale to the public next Monday the 2nd of June at 9:00 am. Tickets will be available at the Lindquist Field Box Office at 23rd and Lincoln Ave, all Smith Tix locations, and of course by call the Raptor Ticket Office at 393-2450. All Phone orders will have a $1.00 per ticket handling fee. You can also go to Smith Tix and order tickets on line simply by visiting the ticket page on our website and pick the game you want to purchase. This is a neat little feature and hopefully will work wonders for your convenience.

Mark your calendar. The season opens June 17th in Orem and the Home Opener is
Thursday June 19th against the same Orem Owlz. The home opener should be quite special as we will re-open the New Lindquist Field and following the game will be fireworks sponsored by Amer Sports.
