"The bedrocks of a relaxed night at the ballpark are timeless, but every team and city attempts to add their own touch to the experience. It's especially true at Frawley Stadium in Wilmington, the domain of doughnut sandwiches, flashy uniforms and between-inning backyard games, where the price of entry remains non-exorbitant.

This year, the team is ready to welcome fans with a fresh-looking park, new food options and one of the largest promotional schedules in recent history."

"Before the Wilmington Blue Rocks’ 2024 baseball season even begins, they have a championship teammate. Mr. Celery, the dressed-as-a-stalk mascot who pops out from behind the backstop after every Rocks run, has been voted a best minor league mascot in the 2024 USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards for baseball.

This will be Mr. Celery’s 24th season merrily dancing around in run-scoring celebration, a popular tradition long relished and sometimes even imitated by Blue Rocks fans and stadium visitors.
‍
His bright shade of green – is that chartreuse? – and unmistakable physique have even become a recognizable logo on caps and shirts and a popular stuffed figurine for youthful attendees. He even has a Frawley Stadium concourse drinking establishment named after him as well as a Wilmington Brew Works Beer – Woo-Hoo Brew! – with cans picturing him."

"Not everyone follows minor league baseball or comes to the ballpark just for baseball, necessarily. It's more than a game, it's a family event with theme nights, promotions and fireworks to keep people entertained and coming back.

"Many come to Frawley Stadium to watch the Wilmington Blue Rocks more for the fare and festivities than the baseball.  Food and beverage options abound, [and] it’s fun to throw a ball into a moving car during the hurl-the-pearl contest between innings and postgame Friday fireworks are a thrill.
