Lindsey Knupp has a “banner” day – Best Promotions Directory in the Minors!

The Story of the Bang-A-Banner Giveaway 2012

The IronPigs game at Coca-Cola Park on Saturday was designated “old school” and there was to be an “old school banner” giveaway to the first 3,000 fans over 18.

What most people don’t know the bang-a-banner that was given out was not the original, intended old-school banner giveaway. As I made my usual trek around the Park I learned of this debacle. I then sought Lindsey to get her reaction to the “case of the missing banners”. We all know how rabid some ‘Pigs fans are with their giveaways so imagine if no giveaway available.

That is in fact what might have happened but you didn’t even know it did you? Most fans where unaware since Lindsey Knupp, Director of Promotions/Entertainment was able to find a replacement, get it designed, printed and have it delivered in time to save the giveaway all at the last-minute possible – Awesome!  BTW, we will see those missing banners one day soon!

Most casual fans and even some of the “seasoners” don’t realize all that Lindsey does which is way more than moderating the on field activities and calling out launch-a-ball numbers – that’s the fun part I’m sure – but there is much more!

Director of Promotions/Entertainment Lindsey Knupp has a “banner” day – old school style!

As the Director of Promotions & Entertainment, Lindsey is responsible for, ordering promotional giveaways, all in-game entertainment, generating the nightly PA script & game production schedule, run staff meetings before each home stand, book bands & National Anthem singers, coordinate the Internship Program for thirteen full-time interns, manage promo crew game-staff, and manage the mascots, performers and probably more!

“How do you like all that”

So next time you see Lindsey around the Park be sure to thank her for keeping everyone entertained and for being a major reason capacity crowds continue to fill Coca-Cola Park. Great Job Lindsey!

Dishing Grateful (for all the great staff at CCP)

  1. No doubt about it, Lindsey is the best! Whatever she makes, Mr. Landes, it isn’t nearly enough!!

  2. We were at another minor league venue recently, when my kids saw a guy walking around with a microphone and directing the day’s events, one of them said, “Hey, he must be THEIR Lindsey.”
