WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes have been named the American Association’s Best Overall Fan Experience of the Year, the club announced Thursday. Team directors, general managers, and broadcasters selected the winner in a league-wide vote. The award recognizes the work that goes into a night at Blue Cross Park, from the baseball on the field to the entertainment, food, and service fans enjoy throughout their visit. The Goldeyes’ game-day experience includes a wide selection of local food and beverage options, activities for families, and postgame fireworks. “Affordable family entertainment has always been at the heart of what we do,” said Goldeyes General Manager Andrew Collier . “We want people to enjoy the game, discover something they love at the ballpark, and leave already looking forward to their next visit. Every department has a hand in making that happen, and I’m proud that the efforts of our entire staff have been recognized by our colleagues around the league.” The club’s average attendance per opening has grown by more than five per cent compared to 2025 and is approaching pre-pandemic levels. Including the September 11 postseason game, the Goldeyes welcomed an average of 4,019 fans per opening in 2026, compared with 3,807 last year. For the Goldeyes, delivering a strong fan experience means paying attention to both the big moments and the small details. A close game or fireworks show may be the highlight of an evening, while a friendly welcome, an enjoyable meal, and entertainment between innings help make the whole visit memorable. “There are a lot of moving parts to a game day, and our staff cares about getting each of them right,” said Goldeyes Manager of Group Sales & Game Presentation Ed Doiron . “We’re always looking for ways to keep the experience fresh while making sure Blue Cross Park feels welcoming to fans who have been coming for years and those attending their first game. It means a great deal to see that work acknowledged.” The Goldeyes thank their fans for making Blue Cross Park a place to gather throughout the baseball season and for continuing to support the club.  The honour caps a week of recognition for the Goldeyes. Earlier this week, the club was named the American Association’s Social Media Team of the Year for the second consecutive season, while play-by-play voice Trevor Curl was awarded Broadcaster of the Year.

WINNIPEG, MB – Winnipeg Goldeyes play-by-play voice Trevor Curl has been named the American Association’s Broadcaster of the Year, the club announced Wednesday. The award was decided by a vote of directors, general managers, and broadcast personnel from each of the league’s 12 teams. Curl completed his third season behind the microphone for the Goldeyes in 2026. His calls are heard on CJNU 93.7 FM and cjnu.ca, and he also hosts The Inside Pitch, the club’s offseason radio program. “Trevor brings preparation, energy, and a genuine love of baseball to every broadcast,” said Goldeyes President and Chief Executive Officer Sam Katz . “He has a gift for making listeners feel as though they’re right there at the ballpark, and he has built a strong connection with our fans in a short time. We’re delighted to see his work recognized by his colleagues across the league.” “Trevor puts a tremendous amount of work into every game, and we’re pleased to see that commitment recognized,” said Goldeyes General Manager Andrew Collier . “He knows our players, understands the game, and makes each broadcast engaging for our fans. Whether they’re listening from home or following the team on the road, he helps them feel connected to the Goldeyes.” Curl’s work has also taken him beyond Winnipeg. He handled broadcasting duties for the Baseball Champions League tournament in Mexico City this March and the Arizona Fall League last October. He will return to the Arizona Fall League broadcast booth again this year. Before joining the Goldeyes in 2024, Curl was the voice of the Auburn Doubledays of the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League in 2023 and the Swepsonville Sweepers of the Old North State League in 2022. A graduate of Eastern Oregon University, he played two seasons as an infielder for the Mountaineers and called basketball, volleyball, soccer, and football games while attending the school. The most recent Goldeyes broadcaster to receive the award was Steve Schuster , who was honoured in 2022.

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes have been named the American Association’s Social Media Team of the Year for the second consecutive season. League directors, general managers, and broadcasters selected the winner. The Goldeyes led the 12-team league in follower growth, total reach, total impressions, engagement rate, and total engagement. They achieved those results while competing with clubs in several metropolitan areas whose populations are substantially larger than Winnipeg’s. “Social media is one of the most important ways we connect with people who follow the Goldeyes,” said Goldeyes General Manager Andrew Collier . “Our staff puts tremendous care into telling the story of our players, promoting what’s happening at the ballpark, and giving our partners a meaningful connection with our fans. To receive this recognition from our peers for a second straight year is a credit to that work.” As the traditional media landscape continues to change, the club’s social channels play a growing role in sharing its marketing message directly with fans. Throughout the season, the Goldeyes use those platforms to highlight games and promotions, introduce players and staff, celebrate community initiatives, and bring followers closer to the team. “Every platform gives us a different opportunity to reach people, but the goal is always the same: make them feel connected to the team,” said Goldeyes Communications Manager Jason Young . “We’re proud that our content reaches and engages so many people across the league. Winning this award again means a great deal because it comes from people who see the work being done throughout the American Association.” The award recognizes the Goldeyes’ continued success in building an active online community and keeping fans connected to the club throughout the season.
