If you love being where the action happens, not just watching from the stands, the Facility Operations Internship is your all-access pass to the engine that keeps Mtn Dew Park running.
From morning field prep to the final out under the lights, you’ll be part of the crew that turns a ballpark into an unforgettable experience for our fans and players. You’ll work hands-on with our Director of Stadium Operations to make sure every event runs smoothly, every fan has a great time, and every inch of the park looks its best. Whether you’re setting up group areas, maintaining the field, or helping coordinate special events, no two days will ever be the same and you’ll never be far from the excitement.
If you’re the kind of person who thrives on teamwork, problem-solving, and getting your hands dirty in the name of creating something amazing, welcome to the big leagues of game-day operations.
