Big Train games at Shirley Povich Field are perfect for nights of family fun in Bethesda! Kids can enjoy the electric atmosphere of professional baseball right in their own backyard. Every seat at Povich Field is close to the action, and there are plenty of opportunities throughout the evening to meet our lovable mascot, Homer the Dog, or even the ballplayers themselves!

Soak your Parents!
After the 2nd inning at Big Train home games, we allow two lucky young fans to take a few swings on the field – at water balloons pitched by grown-ups! We take two kids and two adults each game, position them in front of the dugouts, and watch what happens when water balloons and baseball bats meet. Sponsored by Chevy Chase Cars and Bruce Variety. To sign up in advance to participate in the Water Balloon Bash, call us at 301/983-1006.

Hey Kids! Homer’s waiting…
During the game, one lucky kid will get to join Homer for a race around the bases! With a start at second base, Homer and our contestant try to see who can reach home-plate first. Sponsored each night by Comcast. To sign up in advance to participate in Race the Mascot, call us at 301/983-1006.

Help Homer keep Povich Field looking sharp!
Kids, just listen for the “Treasures for Trash” announcement around the 7th inning of each Big Train home game for your chance to help keep Povich Field clean! Pick up a garbage bag from the concession stand, collect trash, and redeem your filled bag for a great concession stand treat! Sponsored by Covanta Energy.

Have your next party at Povich Field!
Povich Field is the perfect place to have your next birthday party, cub scout dinner or team picnic! Reserve your spot in the Davis Family Picnic Pavilion for the next Big Train home game! Have pizza or hot dogs before the game and run onto the field with the Big Train players during the national anthem! Birthday kids also get to throw out a ceremonial first pitch when they have their party at a Big Train home game.
