I would like to submit my nomination for the Fresno Grizzlies as the Best Team Operations franchise in Game Entertainment today. With a cast of characters that will rival any sports teams, every night you’re entertained by Parker, The Drag Kings, Derek Franks or with their running gags throughout the course of the season. I’ve seen plenty of baseball games and the Grizzlies really are the leaders when it comes to putting on a good show for the fans!

I would like to submit the Columbus Blue Jackets game-ops team. They seem to always have a fresh take on how to promote the team, get the fans involved, and make the promotions about the fans. The cannon that fires after every score is amazing. Their opening night tribute to their late founder, Mr. McConnell, was very moving. These people not only do a great job, they appear as if they truly care about the fans, community and team.

Great expierence!

I would like to nominate the Columbus Blue Jackets for their unique use of a real cannon for fan entertainment. The cannon is ingited and shot when we score a goal. The fans love it! They also have their pictures taken with the cannon and the Blue Jacket soldier.
