loanDepot and MLB Bring Back Ballpark Bingo
March 29, 2024
loanDepot, the Official Mortgage Provider of Major League Baseball (MLB), is reviving its beloved “Ballpark Bingo: A Celebration of Firsts” campaign for the 2024 season, aiming to further captivate fans in America’s favorite pastime through an interactive sweepstakes.
In its fourth season, loanDepot’s partnership with MLB continues to thrive, offering fans two grand prize VIP experiences. The first entails a trip to MLB All-Star Week in Arlington, Texas, slated for July. The second grand prize features a VIP encounter at the inaugural game of either the American League Championship Series (ALCS) or National League Championship Series (NLCS), both proudly presented by loanDepot.
Alec Hanson, chief marketing officer of loanDepot, underscored the significance of engaging baseball enthusiasts. He said, “We understand the profound impact of ‘firsts’ as we share the joy with first-time homebuyers, turning the American dream of homeownership into reality — and we couldn’t think of a better way to share that excitement than by celebrating the countless firsts that unfold across America’s favorite pastime.”
The Ballpark Bingo campaign meticulously tracks significant “firsts” throughout the MLB season. As milestones and remarkable plays unfold, fans can actively participate by monitoring these events on MLB.com and loanDepot and MLB’s social media platforms. To keep the excitement fresh, two distinct bingo boards are offered for the first and second halves of the Regular Season.
Fans are afforded two opportunities to vie for prizes by entering before June 1. The first prize encompasses an all-expenses-paid trip for two to MLB All-Star Week. The second prize presents a distinctive chance to attend Game One of either the ALCS or NLCS, with the added allure of throwing a ceremonial first pitch. Both prizes encompass prime seating, airfare, accommodations, and the chance to partake in batting practice up close.
