**Sunday, September 4, 2016 is FIRST Robotics Day at Dodger Stadium!
**
ALL Southern California FIRST Teams - JrFLL, FLL, FTC and FRC - are invited to attend and bring friends and family.
If we have 500 team members in attendance, we will get a pre-game introduction on the field - that’s all the team members, in uniforms, down on the centerfield grass before the game begins.
We’ll then sit together, and get lots of time and exposure on the DiamondVision.
Depending on how many tickets we sell, we’re talking to the Dodgers about showing FIRST videos between innings, promoting FIRST during the game… and how about a “FIRST” pitch by robots?!
This is an opportunity to tell 50,000 people all about FIRST - and we get a ball game, too (Dodgers v Padres - great SoCal contest).
Attached is a group order form. Teams should order their tickets together, as soon as possible to guarantee this rate. Teams might want to consider purchasing their tickets early - 20 or more - and getting repaid by members. The Dodgers will buy back unsold tickets up to two weeks before the game.
If your team wants to attend but can not sell 20 tickets, just let me know and I’ll put together small orders into a larger one.
There will be more details as we go forward, but briefly:
Game begins at 1:10, so team members participating in pre-game - centerfield introduction, FIRST pitch, etc. - will arrive by about 12:10. Everyone should wear team shirts–let’s stand out! (We’re also looking at making special FIRST Dodgers T-Shirts.) Seating will be on the reserve level (third tier), on the 3rd base side (shade).

What a way to kick off the 2016/2017 season! Please let us know here when you’ve ordered tickets!
