Location 1: Somerset Patriots Baseball Stadium
Before we dive into this first proposal location/idea, I wanted to offer a quick disclaimer. This first option is probably the least “traditional” and most niche of all three proposal settings you will read about. It’s almost like one of those instances where, if it works, it can work so beautifully.Popping the question at a baseball stadium can be a unique and unforgettable moment for baseball lovers. Any sports lovers can appreciate the idea of a marriage proposal at a sporting event and the wonderful story it tells for years to come.
With that in mind, capturing a proposal at a baseball stadium can become extremely expensive extremely quickly. Given the fact that we are talking about the town of Somerset, let’s think about the New York Yankees for a moment.
The average price for a ticket to Yankee Stadium is approximately $160. If you wanted to have a video proposal up on the jumbotron, that will cost you another $2,500.
Again, you can see how the cost of this proposal might add up quickly…
Silver lining is...you’re in luck! Sports and Baseball enthusiasts need look no further than Somerset Patriots Baseball Stadium, TD Bank Ballpark. For those unfamiliar, the Somerset Patriots are a Minor League Baseball team and are the Double-A affiliate of the New York Yankees, located In Bridgewater, New Jersey. Let’s look at the benefits that are now at your disposal.
- Video proposal on the jumbotron for a fraction of the cost
- Tickets are less expensive so more family and friends can attend
- Close to home, adding to the sentimental value
Think about your wedding proposal appearing on the big screen and the entire stadium erupting in applause as you place the engagement ring on your loved one’s finger.
Additionally, because it is a smaller market ballpark, you might even try your luck getting creative with the ballpark staff. They can haul over all your favorite ballpark snacks to help you celebrate. Maybe you could even arrange your family and friends to be watching from a separate section and would meet for a surprise celebration immediately following the proposal.
Before we move on, let’s start painting a picture in your mind of how you might go about your proposal at the Somerset Patriots Baseball Stadium.
One idea that comes to mind and remains very classic at baseball stadiums is the 7th inning stretch. This is usually the time where most birthday shoutouts and wedding proposals appear on the jumbotron of baseball stadiums. Maybe your loved one’s name suddenly appears on the big screen and while she marvels at the fact that someone else with her name is getting proposed to, she turns to see you on one knee and realizes that she is that soon-to-be engaged couple!
Because I always like to take things a step above the conventional, let’s talk one more idea you are more than welcome to use. What if you told your soon-to-be fiancé that you both were selected to throw out the first pitch at the game. You can say that you were randomly selected for this honor and build the anticipation and excitement leading up to that day.
However, behind the scenes, this is something you have orchestrated with the baseball park staff. When you go out to throw the first pitch, you give the ball to your loved one, giving her the honor of the first pitch. While the pitch is being thrown, you are already down on one knee with the ring in hand. As soon as the pitch is thrown, elation becomes uncontrollable joy as the reality of the situation begins to set in.
This becomes a priceless engagement story that will be told for years to come.
The possibilities are truly endless! Visit the Somerset Patriots Website to learn about tickets and start planning your surprise engagement today!
If sporting events are something the two of you have a special bond with, TD Bank Ballpark and the Somerset Patriots might be just the cup of tea you ordered. Who knows...I might even see you on the jumbotron next season!
