See Them First!

See them First

Your Brainerd Blue Thunder players are the future of the Major Leagues…
and you have the chance to see them first!

The Blue Thunder competes in the 14 team, Northwoods League. A league made up entirely of the best collegiate players, coming to live and play for cities all over the north. This is their chance to suit up, travel and compete in a “home team” atmosphere. These college all-stars, come and live with host families in the community and are not paid (to keep their NCAA eligibility). But you’ll feel their pride for Brainerd as they give it their all for the Thunder, every inning.
You have a chance to see baseball at some of the highest levels without having to make the trek to the twin cities. Best of all, you’ll be supporting and cheering the future of baseball, right here in Brainerd. You’ll find yourself saying, “Oh yeah, I knew him when he played for the Thunder”
You’ll also re-discover the simple pleasure of a hot-dog, the crack of a wooden bat and perfect summer nights. The party deck at Mills Field is an excellent way to enjoy a game with a group of friends or set up a corporate night out.
