What professional sports club or team have you experienced at being most supportive of those in military uniform? They may show it with ticket discounts, special deals, special recognitions, patches on their uniforms, flags of branches at their home venue, color guards, etc. Maybe it's a minor league club. What has been your experience?

From what I've seen on TV and, most recently, in person, I would have to say the San Diego Padres.

From being stationed at Fort Bliss, for me, was the minor league baseball team the El Paso Diablos (the team changed names for the 2014 season). They integrated a lot of military before, during, and after their baseball games, such as having the color guard on the field during the National Anthem, a military member singing the national anthem, and even wearing camo uniforms on game days that fell on a significant day for the country or Fort Bliss. In addition, they even offered discounted tickets to the military community and dependents, even going as far as giving free tickets out to Bliss.

The St. Louis Blues honor a service member at every home game. They introduce him or her to the crowd and provide a Jersey for a player of there choice. I wish they would have done that when I was in.
