Take the Field Initiative -- Video Updates

PlayMSP and Top Gun Events have partnered to develop a Take the Field Team made up of professionals from across the area. The priority of this team is to ensure that when we are able to take the field again we can do so by providing a safe and enjoyable environment for ALL involved. We’ve promised to provide our community with weekly updates as it pertains to this initiative -- industry regulations, what’s to be expected as the environment continues to change and the measures we’re taking to ensure safety for all.
