The Team

The Great Falls Voyagers play in the Pioneer League, and they are the Advanced Rookie affiliate of the Chicago White Sox. The team has a long history and has also been affiliated with the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants. 2019 is the 50th consecutive year of affiliated baseball in Great Falls, with the first game ever starting as a pickup game back in 1887. Opening day in 2019 celebrated 50 years of affiliation with throwback music, trivia, and history.

Watching the Game

There are several ways you can watch the game at Centene Stadium. If you go as a group with your school, community, or business, you can all sit at the Grady Picnic Grounds, which has two different sections. The MVP Deck will host groups of up to 50 people, and the Picnic Pavilion hosts up to 150 people. Luxury suites are also available. These are all furnished and have a refrigerator, private restrooms, air conditioning, and a suite attendant that will get you the food and drinks that you want. Watch the game from inside the suite or out on the patio. You can also get a regular ticket and sit in the stands to watch the game with the rest of the fans.

Kids 12 and under can become a part of the Orbit’s Kids Club. Membership comes with a welcome letter from Orbi, a membership card, free general admission to one Sunday game, and a free birthday ticket if a parent books a birthday party.

They will also get a chance to throw out a first pitch at a Sunday game.

Visit the Hurlbert Hall of Fame

The Logan Hurlbert Hall of Fame Room is up the stairs from the main entrance and features displays that chronicle over 100 years of professional baseball in Great Falls. The display gets its name from the longtime club manager, Logan Hurlbert, and was put together by the team historian. You can see artifacts and memorabilia from many different years, starting with the original Electrics through the Voyagers. The hall of fame opens up at 6 p.m. on game nights.
