Paducah Chiefs seek host families for summer season

Opening day for the Paducah Chiefs baseball club is fast approaching. 

The college wooden-bat team plays at Brooks Stadium in Paducah in June and July, and the players rely on the generosity of local families to host them for the season.

General Manager Greg McKeel said, “Host families provide the much-needed stability and support for these young players who travel to Paducah to play for the Chiefs. Even though this is for only two months, I have seen host families and players develop relationships that continue for years. They are truly extended family members.”

At this time, several players need host families for the season which begins Friday, May 31. 

If a family would like to learn more about being a host family for a Paducah Chiefs player, contact McKeel at 270-210-9766 or paducahchiefs@gmail.com.

Season tickets and General Admission season tickets for the Paducah Chiefs are available for $200 by contacting McKeel. A season ticket includes all home games and home playoff games. 

General admission seating also is available at the gate on game days for $6 per game or $10 per game for a chairback seat. 

The season begins Friday, May 31 at Fulton. The first home game is Saturday, June 1 against Henderson.
