Sports in Delaware
So, you’re not much of a beach bum. Not much for tours or fishing, and you’re tired of outlet shopping. What to do…
A few considerations…
How about a Delmarva Shorebirds game ? The Shorebirds are the Class A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, and play their home games at Arthur Perdue Stadium in Salisbury. They play in the South Atlantic League’s Northern Division. There are still some home games left…visit the Shorebirds’ website for the remaining schedule.
By the way, root root root for the home team…until the last weekend against the Lake County Captains, who are local to me.
In Wilmington, you have another Class A affiliate, the Blue Rocks. The Blue Rocks are affiliated with the Kansas City Royals and at the time I’m writing this are in first place in the Northern Division of the Carolina League. They play their games at Frawley Stadium in Wilmington. Visit the Blue Rocks’ website for schedule information - and playoff tickets, perhaps ?
And for college athletics…
The University of Delaware, Delaware State University, and Wesley College all have athletic programs. Visit here for Blue Hens’ info, here for Hornets’ info, and here for Wolverines’ info. I’m sure you’ll find links for ticket information and schedules.
