5. Raptors in the risers, an Omeisaurus in the outfield, we’ve got dinos in the dugout! A night at the ballpark watching the Diamondbacks becomes a night in Jurassic Park running from dinosaurs. Walking with
Dinosaurs, the arena spectacular, will be in Chase Field during the game to entertain guests with visual and interactive displays of life size dinosaur replicas.Attendees can expect to learn more about these ancient earthly inhabitants, enjoy part of the Walking with Dinosaurs arena show after the game, and run from raptors while searching the stadium for their cracker jacks and snacks.
The Jurassic World, the fourth in the Jurassic Park series of blockbuster films, will be released in theaters June 12, 2015. Snowballing off of the success and popularity of this film, Dino Night will attract the
attention of modern-movie goers as well as educational learners both young and old alike. To capture our audiences our two main media plays will target elementary school students through flyers, handouts, and interactive displays and theater attendees though pre-movie advertisements in local theaters.

Suggested Date
June 19th, 2015–
Arizona Diamondbacks vs. San Diego Padres
This event will be most successful if the date of the game and
preceding advertisements surround the climax of interest in the
release of The Jurassic World. Friday, June 19, 2015’s home game
against the Padres is the weekend after the movie release and will
allow game time to be surrounded by the hype of the movie.

exhibits for chidren at the park and also be a good
channel to promote the event.

Diamondback players are enjoying a
great practice when all of the sudden...
they hear a loud roar from the outfield.
All the players look, balls drop, catches
are missed, one player even jumps into
another’s arms out of fright.
The dinosaur roars again as a ball slowly
rolls to its feet. The dinosaur walks
towards the ball hesitantly, then picks it
up with its mouth and carries it to the
pitcher.
The pitcher picks up the drool covered
ball and looks around. The players shrug
their shoulders and begin playing again.
This time hitting balls into the outfield
for the dinosaur to catch

for Abused Children of Arizona. This organization fights to
heal abused and homeless children through artistic expression.
All who have tickets for the special event will be encouraged
to bring art supplies: crayons, colored pencils, paint brushes,
etc. to the game. Those who make donations to the crates will
receive customized Electronic Dance Night glow-in-the dark
Diamondbacks t-shirts.
We suggest someone like DJ Marcus Wing who is known
regionally and has toured many of the western states, including
Arizona. His shows are entertaining and often have a theme like
“Neon Night” or “Paint Night.” Although a top 100 DJ would
be ideal, it is not entirely neccessary to book one. As long as the
show has an appealing theme, it will draw attendees.
38. Electronic Dance Promotions 37
To promote the event, the Diamondbacks will
engage student ambassadors on Arizona State’s
campus the Thursday before the game. A local DJ

Spotify and Pandora targeted advertisements
will be used to encourage students to come to
the game and bring art supply donations.
