March 8, 20169 yr This is pretty awesome. I wonder if tickets will be open to the public or military.
March 8, 20169 yr It will be the ESPN Sunday night game. https://mobile.twitter.com/Ben_ESPN/status/707300360956866561 The game will be played in a 12,500-seat ballpark that will be paid for by MLB and the MLBPA, and then converted into a softball field after the game.

March 8, 20169 yr I'm thinking military will get first crack Yeah I figured thats the way it will be (and should be)
March 8, 20169 yr The first professional contest to be played on an active military base, the Fort Bragg Game is slated for 8 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 3, at a newly constructed 12,500-capacity ballpark, Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association jointly announced Tuesday. The game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball, ESPN Radio and MLB.TV. The Braves will be the home team on the new ballfield, which will be converted to a permanent softball facility for those who serve at Fort Bragg as a gift from MLB and the MLBPA through the joint Industry Growth Fund. Loving the Sunday night baseball.
March 8, 20169 yr Author So is this game being played for Bragging rights? I can't allow this to happen [ATTACH]609._xfImport[/ATTACH]

March 9, 20169 yr Brilliant move by mlb. This game will draw 12,000 people. More than the average that marlins park will be in addition to sell outs at puerto rico. Hopefully this finally mean that mlb will convince loria to sell. Oh and you can blame those heavy ass ticket prices for fans not wanting to attend.

March 9, 20169 yr Braves are the Home team Doesnt matter. "If the marlins cant get fans in the seats at their own park..."
