The first five hundred fans who walked through the gate for the Devil Rays game, received an authentic replica model of the stadium.
Princeton Devil Rays fan Mori Williams says "It's a really neat item it's an exact replica of Hunnicutt Field right down to I think the trash cans to the gravels to the fences and to the posters."
Though Hunnicutt Field is just eighteen years old, as it gets older, it's value to fans increases.
Items like a model replica are valuable to fans who collect merchandize of their favorite minor league team.
Princeton Devil Rays fan Tina Thomas Lester says "This little commemorative item that they given out tonight will last me a lifetime maybe I can hand it down to somebody else in my family."
Promotions with giveaways are just like a game of Hit & Miss.
But on this night, it was a hit with the fans.
Princeton Devil Rays manager Jamie Nelson says "I think promotions are a good thing it's a nice way to show the fans the organization appreciates them by giving something back for attending the game."
Talking with the fans during the game most agreed the model replica of Hunnicutt Field is a quality item.
Princeton loses tonight 3 to 1 closing out a four game three night home stand with Burlington.
