Our 500-plus part-time seasonal employees that make Parkview Field the No. 1 fan experience in the country. All of these people we care about won\u2019t have games to work this season \u2014 that\u2019s what is so impactful about losing the season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The TinCaps are just one of 160 communities around the United States and into Canada that will lose their Minor League Baseball season in 2020. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe TinCaps play in the Midwest League, which is made up of 16 cities across seven states,\u201d Nutter said. \u201cEach community rallies around its team, gathering at the ballpark on spring and summer nights with family and friends. That atmosphere and environment will be gone this year, and we\u2019ll certainly miss welcoming 400,000 fans and friends to Parkview Field.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFort Wayne Professional Baseball has been a staple of summers in Fort Wayne since 1993,\u201d Nutter said. \u201cWhile this is a major setback, we just have to look ahead to what re-opening Parkview Field will look like. We were already anticipating increased health and wellness measures in the hopes we could still play this season. But those same best practices will serve the facility well when we can finally welcome fans back to the ballpark.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The team plans to announce additional events at Parkview Field now that the calendar has been cleared of TinCaps home games. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have an amazing facility to host a wide range of events,\u201d Nutter said. \u201cOur focus will continue to be providing the community with chances to come enjoy the ballpark together, just in different ways than we have done in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Individual tickets purchased for any game during the 2020 season can be kept and exchanged for any game during the 2021 season, once that schedule is determined. Holders of tickets packages, leaders with group hospitality dates, and corporate partners are being contacted with options for each particular circumstance. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we were hopeful the season could still happen, we had to consider this was a possibility,\u201d Nutter said. \u201cIt will be a challenge to determine how we manage our organization and staff during a span of 19 months between games.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>With the loss of the 2020 season, the TinCaps last game was in September of 2019 and the first game of next season is expected to be April of 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite common misconceptions, we are not subsidized by Major League Baseball or our MLB affiliate, the San Diego Padres,\u201d Nutter said. \u201cWe\u2019re like every other small business that\u2019s struggling in these difficult times. We have a staff of creative, hard-working, problem solvers. This is a new kind of problem to solve, but I have confidence we\u2019ll be welcoming fans back to Parkview Field before we know it and putting on the best show in Minor League Baseball.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The TinCaps continue to review guidelines from the State of Indiana and Allen County Department of Health as it relates to events that might be possible at Parkview Field. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hear daily that people are itching for a reason to be at the ballpark,\u201d Nutter said. \u201cWe\u2019re able to continue providing the Fort Wayne Farmer\u2019s Market a home each Saturday, which is certainly a positive. We\u2019ll find ways to use the ballpark as a community gathering place \u2014 what it\u2019s intended to be. When it makes sense to host large-scale events again at Parkview Field, we will certainly be ready.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The TinCaps were originally set to begin their 140-game schedule, with 70 home games, on April 9. The regular season was scheduled to conclude on Labor Day, Sept. 7.<\/p>\n<p>After joining Minor League Baseball as the Fort Wayne Wizards in 1993, the franchise rebranded as the TinCaps in 2009 and moved into Parkview Field. On the field, the TinCaps won the 2009 Midwest League championship. Through their first 11 seasons at Parkview Field in downtown Fort Wayne, the TinCaps have routinely drawn 400,000-plus fans per season. In 2016, the TinCaps won Minor League Baseball\u2019s John H. Johnson Award for organizational excellence. That came after winning Minor League Baseball\u2019s John Henry Moss Community Service Award the year before. Parkview Field itself has earned numerous accolades, including being ranked as the No. 1 Ballpark Experience in all of Minor League Baseball. The franchise has also received multiple honors for marketing, promotions, and grounds keeping.<\/p><\/blockquote>\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;.
