KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) — The Kalamazoo Growlers will have a message for their fans during its June 3 game: put down your phones.
The Growlers will ban cellphones from their ballpark for that night. Patrons will be forced to hand over their phones when they enter the stadium. For the people who manage to sneak their phones into the ballpark, staffers will ask them to give the devices up or specially-trained ‘phone umpires’ will eject them.
The team says they hope the night will inspire people to have a great time without cellphones.
