The venue reached the milestone as Aunt Millie\u2019s hosted a business meeting in the Neoti Tech Center.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor a decade and a half now, Parkview Field has been more than baseball,\u201d said TinCaps President Mike Nutter. \u201cHolly Raney and Lexi Smith have done an amazing job leading our special events over the years, keeping the venue busy year-round. We appreciate our friends at Aunt Millie\u2019s and all those who\u2019ve been guests here since 2009.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The TinCaps, Minor League Baseball\u2019s High-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres, drew their 5 millionth fan for a game last June. This 7-million figure counts attendance for both games and special events.<\/p>\n<p>Parkview Field regularly hosts not only business meetings, but also parties, weddings, and other functions\u2014sometimes even large-scale concerts. Meanwhile, the Fort4Fitness Fall Festival for runners, walkers, and wheelers has become the largest single-day event at the ballpark each year. In addition to the Neoti Tech Center conference-style room that\u2019s located on the third-base side of the ballpark, the venue features the Lincoln Financial Event Center, the Suite Level Lounge, the 400 Club and The Summit presented by US Foods, an amphitheater, and even usage of the concourse, batting cages, and field.<\/p>\n<p>Last year there were more than 850 special events in total, bringing about 135,000 guests.<\/p>\n<p>Since opening, Parkview Field has annually been rated as the top ballpark in Minor League Baseball. The staff has also been recognized for excellence in service and hospitality.<\/p>\n<p>Parkview Field has in-house catering, customizing menus for events. The ballpark also offers extras, like utilizing the video board and fireworks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe truly appreciate the support of the community for 15 years and counting,\u201d said Holly Raney, Parkview Field\u2019s Special Events Manager. \u201cAt Parkview Field, we\u2019re committed to helping create memories for our guests, whether that\u2019s at a game or a banquet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about hosting an event at the ballpark, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/parkviewfield.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">ParkviewField.com<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/wells\/81643.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Judi Wire, WCBA President, displays one of the &quot;Tin Caps&quot;.
