York Revolution Announces Special Football/Soccer Championship Celebration Event

York’s champs have invited Philly’s champs to be part of a celebration of all champs!

In a letter sent this week to Philadelphia Eagles officials, York Revolution President Eric Menzer wrote, “Like so much of the rest of the country, we were thrilled to watch your well-deserved victory in Super Bowl LII. For your fans in York, PA, it was an even sweeter win, as the York Revolution had claimed its third Atlantic League Championship only a few months prior. The players, coaches, and staff of the Revolution are looking forward to kicking off our 2018 baseball season with a celebration of last season’s victory – and we’d like to celebrate yours as well!”

The Revolution has announced that Opening Day, April 26, will be its Celebration of Champions, when the team will welcome members of the community to be recognized for their own victories before the Revs receive their championship rings and unveil the latest ALPB pennant in the outfield of PeoplesBank Park.

“We have already begun signing up local schools and Little League teams, bowling league champs, corporate honorees, and more, and we would be honored to have members of the Philadelphia Eagles team, coaching staff, and front office staff join the York County community in sharing again in the joy of being Number 1,” Menzer’s letter added.

Revs officials said today they welcome any members of the York community to sign up to participate in the Opening Day celebration. Fans can sign up and tell the story of their win – from a wing eating contest to “branch of the year” honors and more – on a special portal created on www.yorkrevolution.com, by emailing tickets@yorkrevolution.com, or by calling (717) 801-HITS.

Opening Day’s celebration will include a pre-game parade of local champions, recognition on the ballpark videoboard and PA system, and a “high five” tunnel created by participating champs to welcome the defending Atlantic League champs as they take the field. One lucky fan will even receive a “Revs Fan” version of the same championship ring being presented that day to returning members of the 2017 team.

The Revolution kicks off its 12^th season of Atlantic League baseball on Thursday, April 26, when the team welcomes the rival Lancaster Barnstormers to PeoplesBank Park. Gates will open at 5:30 p.m.
