Sites for\u00a0Muddy Shuttle locations were carefully determined by analyzing past ridership\u00a0numbers and Mud Hens ticket sales by zip code.<\/p>\n<p>Mud Hens fans will be able to park at several area locations and enjoy a ride to and\u00a0from the game for $3 round-trip. First pitch for each game is set for 7:05 p.m., and\u00a0shuttles will leave one hour before game time from:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\uf0b7 Miracle Mile Shopping Center, 1727 West Laskey Road<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\uf0b7 Maumee, Lucas County Recreation Center, 2901 Key Street<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\uf0b7 Sylvania, Centennial Terrace, 5733 Centennial Road<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\uf0b7 Waterville, Kroger, 8730 Waterville Swanton Road<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\uf0b7 Oregon, Fassett Junior High School, 3205 Starr Avenue (June) or Starr\u00a0Elementary School, 3230 Starr Avenue (July and August)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring our public engagement sessions for TARTA Next, the Muddy Shuttle is\u00a0something we heard a lot about from a number of people who found it convenient,\u201d\u00a0said TARTA CEO Laura Koprowski. \u201cWe\u2019re happy to bring it back as we explore the\u00a0possibility of expanding on it and doing what we can to connect customers with this\u00a0great stadium and the family-friendly atmosphere that the Mud Hens provide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe improvements made at TARTA over the last two years have been about\u00a0removing barriers to people enjoying the things Toledo has to offer. We see this as\u00a0an extension of that, as customers from all over the area can enjoy the Mud Hens and\u00a0let us do the driving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Muddy Shuttle will be in action on the following dates:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\uf0b7 June 10 vs. Buffalo Bisons<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\uf0b7 June 24 vs. St. Paul Saints<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\uf0b7 July 8 vs. Louisville Bats<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\uf0b7 July 22 vs. Lehigh Valley IronPigs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\uf0b7 August 12 vs. Columbus Clippers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\uf0b7 August 19 vs. Omaha Royals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shuttles back to parking locations will leave Fifth Third Field either 20 minutes after\u00a0the game ends or 20 minutes after post-game fireworks conclude.
