One of the several elements of the formula include the standardization of comfortable ballpark features such as hotel lobby-style box offices, more legroom for fans, padded seats, individual cupholders, 360-degree walkways, picnic areas able to accommodate 500 fans, and large playgrounds. The company was the first minor league baseball to implement 20-horse carousels and bumper boat attractions able to accommodate children and adults. Currently, the only minor league ballparks in the world that have the bumper boat attraction are Clipper Magazine Stadium and Regency Furniture Stadium.〔(OPD design features )〕 Another element of the Opening Day Partners formula is an emphasis on philanthropy through various fundraisers, charity events, specialty jersey auctions, and children book-reading programs. Finally, the formula incorporates the local fans, ranging from the occasional to the hardcore, with fan fests, name-the-team contests, the incorporation of local companies and their products, and homages to each team's baseball and socio-geographic history. While many of these various elements of the formula are not unique to Opening Day Partners, the company is one of few that incorporate them to create a comfortable and enjoyable environment for all fans and their families. ==History== Opening Day Partners, formerly known as Keystone Baseball, have owned and/or operated several Major League Baseball-affiliated, professional baseball teams in the Maryland cities of Aberdeen, Bowie, Frederick, Hagerstown, and Salisbury.
