2017 Joliet Slammers Community Impact Report 2017 JOLIET SLAMMERS COMMUNITY IMPACT REPORT 2017: A YEAR IN REVIEW In our 5th annual Community Impact Report we highlight the community aspects, economic impact and overall contribution the Joliet Slammers have made as tenants of the Joliet Route 66 Stadium in 2017. The Slammers continue to provide affordable family fun and entertainment not just to Joliet, but to all of Will County and the surrounding communities. The Slammers take great pride in being an asset to the community and you will see in this report how we have proven to have a positive impact on the City of Joliet through three main objectives: 1. Providing affordable family fun 2. Making a real impact in the community 3. Bringing people to downtown Joliet 1. AFFORDABLE FAMILY FUN The Slammers pride themselves on providing affordable family fun to those in the Joliet area. In July 2016, Ballpark Digest did a report on what the average family of 4 would pay for a minor league baseball game. They found the average cost to be $64.97 for parking, 4 tickets, 4 hotdogs, 2 sodas, and 2 beers. Cinemark in Joliet: $92 Six Flags Great America: $322 Joliet Slammers: As low as $32 $10.50 for an adult $75 per person or $55 if under 4 feet $7.50 for a child $2 (Tue) for a ticket $15.50 for a meal deal $6 for a hotdog, chips, and a soda $6 for a small popcorn (cheeseburger/pizza/chicken strips with $4 for a hotdog $50 for a Family Four Pack fries and a soda) (4 tickets, 4 hotdogs, 4 chips, 4 sodas) $4 small drink Raging Waves: $129.96 $33 per person or $20 if under 4 feet $5.99 for a hotdog combo WHAT OUR FANS ARE SAYING The true testament to the Slammers’ hard work each season is feedback provided by fans. Here is what our fans are saying: 2. COMMUNITY IMPACT The Slammers have woven themselves into the social fabric of Joliet and all of Will County by reaching fans far beyond the confines of the ballpark. The organization is committed to providing a positive influence through community efforts.
