Team owners Steve DeLay and Jon Spoelstra have installed All-You-Can-Eat ticket packages at other teams they’ve operated including the Savannah Bananas, a fellow Coastal Plain League team in which they are minority partners. The Bananas sold out all 25 home games during the 2017 season.
 
“We’ve seen first-hand how much fans love All-You-Can-Eat ticket packages. We’ve sold thousands at various other teams and look forward to delivering the same type of value for our fans in Macon,” said DeLay.
 
The team secured its’ first deposit from Macon-Bibb County Mayor Robert Reichert, who was excited to sign up.
 
“These ticket packages are a terrific value, and I can’t wait to enjoy the games with a hotdog and burger at a newly renovated Luther Williams Field next season,” says Mayor Reichert.

More than 1,500 suggestions were submitted that were narrowed to these five. There were multiple submissions by fans of all five names so based on the final name the team chooses, one random fan who submitted the winning name will be chosen to win a $200 shopping spree for team gear.
 
Future Announcements Coming

In the coming weeks, the team will announce its name, logo and merchandising, and key hires, as well as unveiling the designs for the extensive renovations and additions at Luther Williams Field.
