The Sussex County Miners Mark 10 Years of Baseball with History-Making Season of Fan Experiences, Stadium Upgrades, and Community Pride

AUGUSTA, N.J., May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- On Thursday, May 8, the Sussex County Miners will kick off a season-long celebration of a decade of professional baseball, unforgettable memories, and deep community ties at Skylands Stadium. The 2025 season will be the biggest and best in franchise history, packed with upgrades, fan-first experiences, and a promotional calendar designed to entertain all summer long.

To commemorate this milestone event, the Miners unveiled their 10th anniversary logo, featuring their iconic Herbie the Miner mascot and numbers set in the team's classic jersey font. The logo symbolizes the Miners' rich history and bright future in North Jersey and will be emblazoned throughout the stadium and on uniforms and merchandise.

"Since 2015, the Miners have provided fans countless summer nights to remember. 2025 will be more than a celebration of where we've been—it's the launchpad for what's to come," said Miners General Manager Vincent Sangemino. "Over the next decade, the Miners will be focused on expansion and growth, with a clear vision to become a market leader in professional sports and family entertainment—not just in New Jersey, but across the entire independent baseball landscape. From facility upgrades to community programs, we're building something lasting."

Miners owner and President Mike Dorso remarked, "This 10-year milestone is a testament to our commitment and dedication to the fans. When we brought baseball back to Skylands Stadium in 2015, our goal was to create something special—a team Sussex County could rally behind. Seeing how far we've come is incredible. But the best is still ahead of us. We're making long-term investments in the stadium, the guest experience, and our youth, because we believe in this community and are here for the long haul."

Dorso added, "Most importantly, the organization remains deeply grateful to the fans, sponsors, local leaders, and first responders who have supported this team from day one. This 10-year celebration is as much yours as it is ours."

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Opening Day

The season begins Thursday, May 8, with a 10th anniversary Opening Day celebration. The evening will feature the first-ever drone light show in Sussex County history, presented by the New Jersey Lottery.

It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience for fans of all ages—a visual spectacle that will kick off the summer in unforgettable fashion.
