Jumbo Shrimp Unveils Exciting Power Alley Ahead of Series Against Red Wings

Jacksonville, Fla. - The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp are about to kick off an exciting six-game series against the Rochester Red Wings, starting today, June 10, at 6:45 p.m. This matchup will take place at Innovative Field in Rochester, N.Y., continuing the team’s journey in the International League. After a tough series back home against the Durham Bulls, where they managed a split, the Jumbo Shrimp currently sit six games off the pace set by first-place Lehigh Valley. On June 7, a thrilling moment came as Troy Johnston powered the team to a 3-2 victory over Durham with a dramatic three-run home run. Notably, John Rooney’s recent pitching excellence includes six consecutive scoreless appearances, bringing his ERA down to an impressive 3.00.

As the Jumbo Shrimp gear up for this crucial series, the focus is not just on the players but also on an exciting new feature at VyStar Ballpark back home. The team recently unveiled the Right Field Power Alley, a fresh addition designed to enhance the fan experience. This area, part of ongoing renovations known as Project NEXT, includes 180 seats priced at $15 each, along with a climate-controlled gathering space and a bar called Right Field Hall. The view from this new space overlooks the right field wall, providing an extraordinary backdrop for fans soaking in the action of the game.

New Additions at VyStar Ballpark

The Power Alley aims to create a unique atmosphere for ballpark visitors, combining food, drink, and a fantastic view. Such offerings are part of the Jumbo Shrimp’s effort to ensure affordable and family-friendly entertainment options for the Northeast Florida community. Since rebranding in 2017, the Jumbo Shrimp have received numerous marketing and sales awards and lead the state in minor league attendance, which speaks volumes about their success at connecting with fans.

As the Jumbo Shrimp continue to make waves in the league, their transition to Triple-A baseball in 2021 marked a significant milestone in their history. This move came courtesy of their parent club, the Miami Marlins, as part of a larger realignment within the Minor League structure. Owner Ken Babby has consistently emphasized the vital role minor league baseball plays in its communities, and with Jacksonville’s growing population, this promotion could not have been timelier. The Jumbo Shrimp’s partnership with the Marlins is cemented for ten years, affording local fans access to top-tier talent just before they leap to the Major Leagues.

With a legacy that includes past Triple-A teams like the Jacksonville Suns, the Jumbo Shrimp are carrying forward a rich tradition of baseball excellence in the area. As current Mayor Lenny Curry noted, the support from the community has been paramount, and gratitude has been extended to the Marlins for their long-term commitment to Jacksonville.

As we get ready for tonight’s game, we celebrate not just the players but also the evolution of our beloved Jumbo Shrimp. From thrilling home runs to modernized ballpark features, there’s a lot to cheer about—so grab your tickets and support the team as they embark on this exciting series against the Rochester Red Wings!
