CHARLES SCHWAB FIELD. FIRST PITCH IS AT SIX TONIGHT. AND POSTSEASON BASEBALL IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. AND THAT MEANS CHARLES SCHWAB FIELD WILL BE EVEN MORE BUSY. AND GRACE STAFFORD WITH MECCA IS HERE TO TALK US ALL ABOUT IT. GRACE POSTSEASON BASEBALL. THINGS ARE JUST HEATING UP. REALLY. IT IS IN THE WEATHER AND THEN ALSO IN BASEBALL, ESPECIALLY IN THE BIG TEN THIS YEAR. WE’VE GOT SOME REALLY GREAT TEAMS AND WE’RE GOING TO BE WELCOMING 12 TEAMS TO CHARLES SCHWAB FIELD OMAHA NEXT WEEK FOR THE BIG TEN BASEBALL TOURNAMENT.

ALL OF IT’S BEING BROADCAST MAY 19TH THROUGH 24 ON THE BIG TEN NETWORK. BUT WHAT’S BETTER THAN GETTING DOWN TO THE STADIUM, GRABBING A HOT DOG, SOME POP, CHECKING IT OUT, AND REALLY SOME ELITE COLLEGE BASEBALL RIGHT NOW. AND THEN JUST THREE WEEKS AFTER THAT, IT’S COLLEGE WORLD SERIES TIME ALREADY. I FEEL LIKE IT’S JUST FLYING BY IN THE MONTHS, BUT IT’S ONLY GETTING MORE EXCITING AND THERE’S MORE EXCITEMENT DOWN AT THE RIVERFRONT. THINGS HAVE BEEN VERY BUSY DOWN THERE LATELY. YES, IT’S REALLY THE START OF THEIR PEAK SEASON AND WHETHER IT’S SPECIAL ONE TIME EVENTS OR THE WEEKLY PROGRAMING, WE’VE GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING DOWN THERE AND WE REALLY JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THAT WEEKLY PROGRAMING BECAUSE WE’VE GOT SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE. A LOT OF THOSE FREE FITNESS CLASSES, WE’VE GOT EVERYTHING FROM YOGA TO SOME CLASSES, STRENGTH TRAINING EVERY DAY, MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY IN THE EVENING. WE HAVE SOMETHING DOWN THERE FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO JOIN. THEY’VE BECOME VERY POPULAR AND THEN AS WELL, ON FRIDAYS FROM 11 TO 4, WE HAVE OUR GAME CARD. SO FOR THE KIDDOS TO GET OUT THERE, PLAY SOME LAWN GAMES. ESPECIALLY WITH SCHOOL BEING OUT, YOU CAN CHECK THOSE OUT FOR FREE. AND THEN ON SUNDAYS WE HAVE OUR BOAT CART DOWN AT THE BOAT COVE, A MALL SO THEY CAN CHECK OUT FREE REMOTE CONTROLLED BOATS, PUT THEM IN THE WATER, HAVE SOME FUN FOR A FEW HOURS, YOU KNOW, ANYTHING TO KIND OF GET THE FAMILY ENTERTAINED NOWADAYS, RIGHT? AS WE HEAD INTO SUMMER, RIGHT? YEAH. OKAY, SO NOW TALKING BIGGER PICTURE NOW, MECCA JUST RELEASED YOUR LONG TERM STRATEGIC GOALS. TELL US MORE ABOUT THOSE. WE’RE LOOKING AT THE NEXT 25 YEARS AT MECCA, AND THAT’S COMING IN WITH NEW LEADERSHIP, WITH ADAM SHEA TAKING OVER IN JANUARY. AND THIS IS ONE OF HIS BIG THINGS THAT HE WANTED TO DO CORE VALUES, STRATEGIC GOALS, MISSION AND VISION STATEMENTS AS WELL. SO THESE ARE THE STRATEGIC GOALS THAT WE CAME UP WITH. AND WE WANTED THE PUBLIC TO BE ABLE TO SEE THIS BECAUSE WE’RE REALLY SERVING THE COMMUNITY, AND THAT’S WHAT WE’RE DOING AT ALL OF OUR FACILITIES AND PROPERTIES. SO WE RECOMMEND ANYONE CHECKING THESE OUT. THEY CAN GO TO OMAHA, MECCA.ORG AND CHECK THESE OUT. ALONG WITH THOSE CORE VALUES.
