Taking over for the Kalamazoo Kings playing summer baseball for the fans in Kalamazoo has been great for the Growlers and they are back for another season. After making some roster changes, staff changes, and celebrating their Northwoods League Championship with their supporters, they're ready to make another run at the crowd.

As they prepare for opening day they are looking for more ways to get fans involved, especially with their butts in the seats at Homer Stryker Field. They are looking to repeat as Northwood League Champions after having an amazing season last year, but are looking for the support of the city, including having ticket giveaways.

Their latest ticket giveaway idea is literally genius, something that I feel every sports team in Kalamazoo should be doing, and even some of the Big 4 professional teams could do the same. They have started a Ticket Scavenger Hunt within the city limits of Kalamazoo and are offering those with a sharp eye a chance at free tickets to opening weekend.

Opening weekend is right around the corner as their first home game is Wednesday, May 31st against the Battle Creek Battlejacks. Although this is not the game that the tickets are available it would be nice to see these two battle for the "owners trophy" as both teams are owned by the same owners, with Battle Creek in only its second season.

Friday's game is Opening night and is technically the home opener for the reigning champion Growlers. They will play host to the Kokomo Jackrabbits to open the 2023 season at Homer Stryker Field at 7 pm. As they prepare to raise the pennant for their championship season they are looking to fill the stands.

They have hidden 5 envelopes around the city of Kalamazoo, in prominent places for fans to go and search for. Inside each envelope are 4 tickets to the Opening Night game for the Growlers. I won't give away any clues but some of these places are so OBVIOUS that there's no way fans haven't figured out where they are.

Personally, I love this idea because now your current fans are out and about within the city running around like crazy trying to find these envelopes like its Charlie and The Chocolate Factory but at the same time it allows for the average person to stumble upon the tickets and find a new passion.

As I mentioned before, some of these envelopes are in obvious spots that are almost out in the open and anyone with a sharp eye could think it's out of place and grab it. Now, they have 4 tickets to the Growlers Baseball game and may become longtime fans from this one experience.

So, now that you know all the details about the hunt, and have pictures of all of the envelope locations above, you can take your shot at finding an envelope and having 4 free tickets to the Kalamazoo Growlers Opening Night. Well, what are you waiting for? Stop staring at these words on your screen and get searching!
