Field, the Dragons Den is open during all home games, as well as Monday through Friday from 12 noon to 5 pm. You can also shop online at daytondragons.com.

Featured players will be announced at the team store and on the scoreboard.

The Dragons will make every reasonable effort to complete each and every home game. Please contact your Dragons Representative on game days for rain out concerns and updates. See page seven for further information on our rain out policy with regards to your suite catering order.

CATERING This section covers our catering policies and procedures, including valuable details regarding ordering, billing, and alcohol policies.

Professional Sports Catering (PSC) PSC, the food and beverage service partner of the Dayton Dragons and Fifth Third Field, is the only full service food and beverage company that focuses exclusively on Minor League Baseball. PSC takes pride in providing unmatched service and the highest quality food products to customers.

Alcohol Policy To ensure a safe and enjoyable event, and to comply with the rules and regulations of the state of Ohio and Fifth Third Field, no alcoholic beverages may be brought into or removed from your suite. It is the responsibility of the suite owners to ensure no minors or visibly intoxicated guests consume alcoholic beverages.

The Dayton Dragons reserve the right to check for proper identification and refuse service to guests who appear to be intoxicated.

Alcohol sales will be cut off at the top of the 8th inning or two and a half hours after the scheduled start of the game (whichever occurs first). For special events, such as concerts, we will inform the guests of the alcohol policy upon placing their order.

Beverage Par Stock Policy The beverage par stock works like a hotel mini bar, but you get to choose what goes in it. Though it is not mandatory, many suite holders enjoy knowing their suite refrigerator will always be stocked and ready-to-go with their favorite products. If you would like to take advantage of this service, please contact PSC to set up your par.

SU I TE H OLDE R MA NU A L TM

When you arrive, your suite refrigerator will be stocked. Feel free to use everything in your refrigerator throughout the course of the game. At the top of the 8th inning, your Suite Attendant will track the beverages in your refrigerator. Whatever you use will be charged on that particular event’s bill.

Cakes for Special Events If you would like to celebrate a special event in your suite by bringing in a cake, you are welcome to do so. Please contact your Dragons Representative in advance if you would like to bring a cake into your suite.

Cancellations and Rain out Concerns Please contact PSC at (937) 610-3194 with your cancellation at least 24 hours prior to the start of the event. No charges will be incurred if you follow this procedure. For rain out concerns, call the office no later than six hours before gates open.

If a game is cancelled prior to the gates opening, the suite holder will NOT be responsible for any orders. In this situation, your Dragons Representative will contact you.

If the game is delayed prior to or during play, your food and beverages will be delivered as scheduled unless other plans were made six hours prior to the opening of the gates.
