National Pastime Sports scores with Lacrosse

The weather was gorgeous as the city of Baltimore hosted the NCAA Lacrosse Championships this past Memorial day weekend. The NPS production team
was hard at work producing the NCAA’s Fan Event LAXperience.

The Fanfest attended by lacrosse stick carrying passionate fans was a pure demonstration of the collegiate spirit. NPS was excited to be involved in the event creating lacrosse interactive opportunities for fans to test their skills, stage entertainment and decor as well as many historical lacrosse displays.

National Pastime Sports is thrilled to be at the grass roots development and promotion of Lacrosse in the United States. We would like to thank our great partners at the NCAA, Capital One and the Baltimore Ravens for making this event a great success.

NPS celebrates Mother’s Day with the Cleveland Indians.

The NPS Production Crew was hard at work this Mother’s Day producing
the first of a series of weekend events known as Kids Fun Day for the
Cleveland Indians. Yes our crew was able to sneak a phone call into
mom, but It was the thousands of children participating in our pre
game baseball event that put a Big Smile on our face. Fans were able
to hit, pitch and have baseball fun. Fans were able to learn the rich
history of the Cleveland Indians as well as spend some time with the
Cleveland Indians Mascot Slider.

All of us here at NPS would like to thank our great partners at the
Cleveland Indians, Key Bank and the Gateway Sports Complex and look
forward to a excellent season.

Go Indians!
