The West Michigan Whitecaps, who are the High-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, regularly play their homes games in front of thousands of fans at LMCU Ballpark. And during your average baseball season, the Whitecaps will be scheduled to play in front of their home fans exactly 66 times, not including postseason games.
That also means that there are nearly 300 days when LMCU ballpark ISN’T hosting a Whitecaps matchup. Did you ever wonder what goes on at LMCU Ballpark on those dates? (Spoiler alert: It’s a lot.)
More importantly, did you ever wonder how you could take advantage of West Michigan’s largest outdoor multipurpose event venue?
Because while thousands enjoy the roaring crowds, towering home runs, and spectacular fireworks shows at Whitecaps games each summer, LMCU Ballpark is so much more than just a baseball venue.
Of course, there’s a good chance you may have already visited LMCU Ballpark during a non-baseball event. Perhaps you have visited during the holidays with your family to see West Michigan’s largest Christmas light display. Or maybe you joined your friends to sample the latest craft brews at the Winter or Spring Beer Festivals. And there might have been a time or two that you slipped on your athletic shoes for one of the myriad 5K runs the ballpark has hosted over the years.
There’s also a chance you don’t know what you’re missing.
For nearly 30 years, LMCU Ballpark has hosted hundreds of different events. Here is a short list of the most-popular ways people and companies are continuing to take advantage of an event venue that features a capacity of more than 10,000, eight hospitality decks, two indoor clubs, two lawn seating areas, and 21 luxury suites.
