Testimonials
“Simply put, Dwier Brown gets it. He truly understands the human element, and delivered encouragement and inspiration to all he came across. Even in the rain and cold, Dwier spent significant time with each and every fan in line to meet him. His passion, kind-heartedness, and overall humility has left a mark in Reno, and won’t be forgotten!”
Andrew Daugherty,
Executive Vice President
Reno Aces and Reno 1868 FC
“I was very impressed with Dwier’s ability to remain engaged and energetic throughout the entire night – even well into extra innings. It was clear that Dwier was having just as much fun as the fans, and his enthusiasm was contagious, providing a memorable experience for the fans and a tremendous value for our promotions department. Dwier was incredibly patient, flexible, and easy to work with, which was a boon amidst the chaos of running the rest of the game.”

"In my 26 seasons with the PawSox, we have played host to a number of celebrity visitors but none have been as gracious, friendly, cooperative and accomodating as Dwier Brown. Our fans so enjoyed meeting and interacting with him. He was terrific! Having him was a "Home Run". I would happily refer him to any other team considering having him attend their ballpark."
Michael Gwynn
Vice President/Marketing
Pawtucket Red Sox
“Dwier made Father's Day at our stadium a day to remember for so many Syracuse Chiefs fans! He was incredibly generous with his time. Each and every fan that waited in line to get an autograph, have a photo taken or simply share a story had his undivided attention. He made everyone feel so special. I couldn't have asked for a better person to be on hand during a 2-hour rain delay. And lastly when we invited fans onto the field to "have a catch', Dwier made the rounds and had a catch with every last father and son (or daughter) that wanted the experience.
He was by far the most engaging celebrity we've had at the ballpark!”
Kathleen McCormick,
Director, Sales & Marketing,
Syracuse Chiefs,
AAA Affiliate of the Washington Nationals
"Dwier is a gentleman and a professional. He was wonderful with our fans, playing catch with many of them on the field during pre-game. He posed for photographs with fans and listened, truly listened, to fans as they shared stories of their relationships with their fathers. I cannot say enough good things about Dwier and I highly recommend bringing him to your ballpark and/or facility as he will certainly help you add another entertaining dimension to your event and give fans memories that will last a lifetime."

"We have brought in a variety of former professional athletes, actors and other celebrities but we would be hard pressed to find somebody that was as accommodating with our fans, media, and front office as Dwier was. Whether he was signing autographs in the concourse or playing catch with fans in the outfield after the game, he made each and every fan, young and old, feel like a VIP. Many of our patrons remarked afterward about how cool it was to meet him and how even more special it was to play catch with him. He helped us achieve our goal of providing wholesome family entertainment and lifelong memories. We look forward to working with him again in the future."
Dan Mason
General Manager
Rochester Red Wings
"Our fans were thrilled to interact with Dwier for the entire afternoon and evening. He was super organized and raised our attendance by 27%. We were so grateful for his professionalism and positive attitude throughout the evening. If you are considering an appearance in the future for your customers, fans and staff I highly recommend Mr. Dwier Brown. He truly put "Field of Dreams" into action here at the ballpark."
John Erisman
Lancaster Barnstormers
Director of Community Partnerships
"We had such a good night with Dwier Brown here this past season! Everyone had a fantastic time! Dwier was easy to work with and really engaged our fans. I would absolutely recommend Dwier if you are looking for a theme night around "Field of Dreams" this next season. I can promise you will not be disappointed!"
Steve Malliet
President/GM
Normal CornBelters
"I couldn’t have asked for a better evening for our fans and Dwier was to thank for helping make that experience extra special. From Dwier’s ability to connect with our fans as he signed autographs prior to the game to playing catch on the field after, it made a memorable evening for all ages.
When he walked through the corn stalks we had assembled on the outfield wall prior to the game, the true impact he had was displayed by the middle aged man who was tearing up next to me in the concourse. ‘John Kinsella’ may have been inspirational in the movie, but I would highly
recommend Dwier to anyone who wants to create a memory for a lifetime at your stadium."
John Fanta
Vice President
Wisconsin Rapids Rafters
"Dwier has a genuine passion for connection between people, across generations. Not only does he have this passion, but he shares it in a very open, deep and meaningful way. He brought a room of grown men and women (mostly men) to tears with his stories. He brought smiles to faces, just by simply having a catch with them. He was very giving with his time, and his emotional energy. If you ever have the chance to have Dwier speak to your organization, or interact with your fans, do it! They will leave with a reminder of the bond we should all seek with one another."
