The Worcester Red Sox is again holding a Boroughs night and invited Southborough residents to dominate the stands at their friendly “Town Takeover” themed event. To help motivate our community, $5 from each “Southborough” ticket sold to the July 22nd game will be donated to the Town Scholarship Fund.
Four years ago, the WooSox began pitting neighboring towns against each other in a friendly competition to see who could drum up the biggest turnout. The marketing has shifted to focus more on civic pride than home town rivalries to gin up excitement.
The Woo Sox promote:
Join us at Polar Park on Wednesday July 22nd at 6:45pm to gather with your fellow Southborough residents, show your civic pride, and enjoy an exciting night of WooSox baseball! . . .
This is sure to be the talk of the town, so don’t miss out! Come rep your town, support a great local cause, and be part of something bigger than the game!
The team hosts numerous Town Takeover events through the season. At the end of the season, the town with the largest turnout for the season (through their takeover event) will be rewarded with a trophy and special recognition.
On Wednesday, July 22nd at 6:45 pm, the WooSox’ Town Takeover are dedicated to the Boroughs of Southborough, Northborough, Marlborough, and Westborough (plus Hardwick & New Braintree). (The other Towns all have their own selected charities.)
