How is our internship different from other sports teams?

One night you could be scanning tickets at the front gate, the next night you might be preparing food in the concession stand, the following night you may be working in the merchandise stand and the next night you could be on the field running game day promotions and entertainment.
Our summer interns will be able to gain experience in each of the following areas:
• Tickets (Front Gate and on line Sales)
• Entertainment (Game Day Promotions and Script Writing)
• Fan Experience (Guest Services and Hospitality)
• Merchandise (Team Store and Inventory)
• Press Box (Scoreboard and Video Stream Production)
• Food and Beverage (Concession Stand, Inventory)
• Stadium Operations (Field Maintenance, Stadium Upkeep, Clubhouse Management, Laundry)
• Media Relations (Website Management, Feature Writing, Press Releases, and Social Media)
How's it all sound so far?
The Merchants summer internship program is designed to provide you training in each area so you will gain valuable skills that assist in progressing your sports career.
