<strong>2020</strong> BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT GUIDE
GET TO KNOW THE GREAT LAKES LOONS<br />
The <strong>Great</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong> <strong>Loons</strong> are a Single-A Minor League Baseball affiliate<br />
of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Founded in 2007, the club is a member<br />
of the 16-team Midwest League and won its first championship in<br />
2016.<br />
In 2006, a group of regional community leaders led by former Dow<br />
Chemical Company CEO William Stavropoulos, announced the<br />
formation of the Michigan Baseball Foundation to bring Minor League<br />
Baseball to the <strong>Great</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong> Bay Region. MBF acquired the Southwest<br />
Michigan Devil Rays, relocating the team to Midland, where they<br />
played before a capacity crowd for their first home game on April 13,<br />
2007.<br />
Dow Diamond is home to the <strong>Great</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong> <strong>Loons</strong>. Constructed in just<br />
367 days, the 6,300-capacity state-of- the-art ballpark was<br />
designed by HOK Sport (now Populous) and built by Three Rivers<br />
Corporation. In addition to hosting 70 <strong>Loons</strong> home games every<br />
season, the stadium has hosted over 1,000 special events, including<br />
two MWL All-Star Games, major concerts, corporate events, formal<br />
dinners, receptions, and other customized functions.<br />
One hallmark goal of the <strong>Loons</strong> is to keep the ballpark fun, exciting,<br />
and relevant to the fans and community. At the conclusion of the<br />
2017 season, the ballpark received its largest reinvestment since it<br />
opened, with $3 million in improvements, including the fifth-largest<br />
videoboard in the MiLB, two HD ribbon displays, and a remodel of<br />
the Lou E's Lookout playground area.<br />
The <strong>Loons</strong> have had over 3 million fans pass through the gates since<br />
the inaugural season in 2007. Thanks to the <strong>Loons</strong>, Dow Diamond has<br />
established itself as the premier hospitality and entertainment<br />
destination in the <strong>Great</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong> Bay Region. We are confident that the<br />
<strong>Great</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong> <strong>Loons</strong> can provide results for your business.
