The popular intermission game returns – with a twist
BY: Michael Keeley, Maine Mariners
PORTLAND, ME – March 17th, 2021 – “Toss a Tomato, Win Some Dough” has been a popular staple at Maine Mariners home games through the first two seasons of operation. Despite not playing a 2020-21 season, the Mariners revived the “tomato drop” game virtually from the Cross Insurance Arena’s rafters.
Evergreen Credit Union is sponsoring the “virtual tomato drop,” which will occur on a date sometime in early April. As is the case at Mariners’ home games, fans can purchase one tomato [stress ball] for $1 or six for $5. Sales are taking place at MarinersOfMaine.com/shop. Tomatoes “ID numbers” will then be assigned based on the number of tomatoes purchased by a given individual.
The tomatoes will be dumped, all at once, from the Cross Insurance Arena’s rafters, directly above “center ice,” where the target will be placed, as usual. The grand prize will be 50% of the money collected, along with a 7-day luxury hotel stay from Steele Hill Vacation Club to Orlando, FL or Las Vegas, NV, not including travel costs. Additional prizes from the Mariners include Jersey Mike’s Subs, Three Dollar Deweys, and R.E.D.D., and protein bars will also be given away.
Net proceeds from the virtual tomato drop will be donated to Good Shepherd Food Bank. A promotional video is available for the virtual tomato toss for fans to view here.
Hannaford presents the 2021-22 Mariners season To Go and will begin with the home opener on October 22nd at the Cross Insurance Arena against the Worcester Railers. Fans can put down a $50 deposit on full-season tickets for the 2021-22 season here. Half season, 12-game mini-plans, and 10-ticket flex plans are also available for purchase, starting at $170. Single-game and group ticket information will be available in the coming months, as well as a complete 2021-22 schedule. More information on ticketing options is available by calling 833-GO-MAINE, emailing mariners-sales@comcastspectacor.com, or by visiting MarinersOfMaine.com.
