MARION – The Thrillville Thrillbillies are stepping up their game for the 2025 season, unveiling bold changes aimed at making Mtn Dew Park the ultimate fan experience.
At a VIP Lunch and Media Day on Wednesday, team leaders introduced the “All You Can Eat Seat” and “Fans Eat FREE Nights”, special fan-focused theme nights and a new Field Manager ready to build a winning culture.
A Bold Change for the 2025 Season: The All You Can Eat Seat!
Thrillbillies Baseball is about more than just the game — it’s about crafting an unforgettable fan experience. That’s why the team is introducing the All You Can Eat Ticket! For just $20, fans will receive a game ticket plus unlimited access to their favorite ballpark bites at Mtn Dew Park.
“The Thrillbillies understand that changes in ticket prices can sometimes ruffle feathers, but this isn’t just a price increase—it’s a value increase,” said Mtn Dew Park General Manager. Ralph Santana.
Do the Math: More Value, Less Stress
Mtn Dew Park’s Director of Food and Drink, Sarah Crain, emphasized the team’s commitment to affordability: “A family of four typically spends between $70–$120 dining out. At Thrillbillies home games, that same family gets an amazing baseball experience and unlimited food for just $80 total. We’re dedicated to making games affordable, family-friendly, and completely stress-free.”
A Home Run for Fans & Sponsors: Introducing “Fans Eat FREE Nights”
Building on the success of past Buyout Games, which have allowed thousands of fans to enjoy Thrillbillies baseball for free thanks to local business sponsors, the 2025 season introduces “Fans Eat FREE Nights.”
For select midweek games, fans can enjoy an all-you-can-eat seat for just $10 — meaning every bite is free, with food fully sponsored by our generous local partners.
“It’s a win-win,” Santana explained. “Businesses get massive community goodwill and visibility, and fans get an unforgettable night at the ballpark—great baseball, unlimited food, and zero stress. We’re making midweek games a can’t-miss event, and we can’t wait to partner with businesses who want to give back to the community in a fun and meaningful way.”
Special Fan-Focused Theme Nights:
The Thrillville Thrillbillies are excited to unveil a sneak peek at their 2025 promotional schedule, blending cherished traditions with innovative events to enhance the fan experience. Returning favorites like “Star Wars Night” and “Murder in Thrillville: Chapter 2” promise fan-engaged entertainment, while new additions aim to engage diverse community groups. “Faith and Family Night” will feature a pregame Christian concert, and “Sandlot Night” invites fans to campout on the field for a screening of “The Sandlot,” followed by the popular
Fan-tastic Friday Night Fireworks. Demonstrating a commitment to unique entertainment, the team is also introducing “Thrill-opoly,” transforming Mtn Dew Park into a life-sized Monopoly board where every fan can compete for exciting prizes.
The 2025 season also brings new giveaway items, entertainment acts, and special theme jerseys, including the fan-voted Community Classic Jerseys. After a close contest concluding on February 28th, the “Shawnee” jersey emerged victorious by just four votes over the “Little Egypt” design.
Reflecting on the upcoming season, Director of Entertainment and Operations, Jackson Wiseman, expressed his excitement: “Our team at Mtn Dew Park is hard at work to ensure we always put on a memorable show filled with thrills while introducing new aspects to the gameday experience all around the ballpark for our fans.” With such a diverse and engaging promotional schedule, the Thrillbillies are poised to defend their title as the league’s Ballpark Experience of the Year for the third year in a row!
Meet the New Skipper: Patrick Morey Brings a Winning Culture to Thrillville
New Thrillbillies Field Manager, Patrick Morey was also introduced at the event, sharing his vision for 2025: a winning culture and community engagement.
