What’s new with the WooSox?

Opening day for the Worcester Red Sox is March 31, and the team has a full slate of games during the spring months — but don’t worry, the team is putting in heaters in the concourses at Polar Park, and thinking about a new tradition, the “fifth-inning warmup.”

That’s just one of the topics that team management outlined in a virtual meeting with members of the Boosters Club this evening. For sure, the team and its fans aren’t at a loss for ideas, and that pleases WooSox President Charles Steinberg.

“A ballpark isn’t done,” Steinberg told members of the Boosters Club. “It continues to evolve.”

The evolution at Polar Park in this third season of WooSox baseball includes a new organ, with the possibility of an organist of the day to play and lead the crowd in the singing of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” The heaters are another new feature, and Steinberg is considering the “warmup” during chilly games to let fans come into the DCU Club in the fifth inning to get out of the cold.

A larger berm area in left field, along with swings for kids on the adjacent “eighth hill,” is also teed up this year, opening the door to rent part or all of the area for an organization’s group outing.

As mentioned in the media, the ballpark menu this year will include lobster rolls and chowder, plus a weeknight bargain menu of tacos and a margarita on Tuesdays. Also on the food front, Taste of Worcester will be back, and at the request of boosters, wine may be making an appearance in the park’s market.

The team also is pondering whether Railers hockey and an ice rink, like the NHL’s Winter Classic games, could take over the park during the ECHL season — though the field would likely need to be replaced afterward, WooSox chairman and principal owner Larry Lucchino said.

And one unofficial announcement is that an automated system to call balls and strikes may be headed to the Canal District ballpark as part of a minor league tryout.
