OPEN LETTER TO SHARKS NATION May 20,2023

As we are just days away from the Wilmington Sharks season, I wanted to take a moment to thank Sharks Nation for their continued support. The 2023 season will be the most exciting in the 26-year history of the team as we have added more fun for the fans, bigger promotions, amazing giveaways and the best baseball in the Coastal Plain League.

My team has worked hard in the offseason to improve the fan experience. 

  1. We are shortening the lines at the gate by adding more ways to enter the ballpark. There will be special entrances for Season Ticket Holders, Host Families, Corporate Box Holders and Large Groups. 
  2. There will be four windows open at concessions to get you your food faster.
  3. The Season Ticket Box Seats will have Concessions service at your seats for food and non-alcoholic beverages.
  4. Corporate Box Seats will have wait staff service for food and all drinks.
  5. Buck Hardee Field is now completely CASHLESS. This will speed all lines making it easier and faster throughout the stadium.
  6. We are opening gates 30 minutes earlier (5:30 not 6:00 for 7pm start times) so avoid lines by getting to the ballpark earlier.
  7. There are more prizes, between inning entertainment and promotions than ever! Watch the Promotions Page on the website and our social media for details.
  8. Watch for more announcements throughout the 2023 season.

Now Sharks Nation, it’s up to YOU. Come out to the ballpark, bring your friends and family and let’s cheer our Sharks to VICTORY! See you at Buck Hardee Field, I look forward to meeting you!
