ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ) You’ll hear a new voice at Capital Credit Union Park at Green Bay Booyah games this summer.
The Booyah held tryouts earlier this month for a new PA announcer after that position opened up during the offseason. Booyah spokesman Brian Kuklinski says the Public Address position is more important than most people think.
“The lifeblood of any one of our games is our PA guy,” said Kuklinski. “He’s the one who keeps the crowd entertained, gets them into it, gets to make some noise and gets the players pumped up.”
