Perdue stadium in 2021.”
In a press release on their website, the Shorebirds organization said, "For all our 2020 partners, season ticket members, groups, silver sluggers, individual ticket holders, staff, and fans, we will be reaching out through separate communication in the very near future for the next steps in regard to your account with the Delmarva Shorebirds organization. We thank everyone for your continued support, understanding, and patience during this challenging time."
