Major League Baseball opened it's doors to a their newly redesigned MLB Fan Cave on April 2nd. This venue will house many fan events like concerts and MLB player and celebrity appearances. New features of the fan cave encompass a ten-foot tube slide, a dirt bar with authentic dirt from MLB ballparks, and a wall of big screen Sony televisions. 
The MLB will launch the MLBFanCave.com Concert Series featuring performances throughout the season by popular recording artists. The April Concert Series lineup includes:

These performances along with the others throughout the year will be free and open to fans, with highlights appearing on MLBFanCave.com. More information on how fans can attend these and other concerts will be available on the MLB Fan Cave’s Twitter and Facebook channels.
The MLB Fan Cave will host a continuous series of player appearances throughout the season.  MLB All-Stars scheduled to appear in April include Josh Johnson, Joe Mauer, Dan Uggla and Justin Verlander.  When they visit the Fan Cave, players will appear in a video web series that will showcase their personalities and interests in an entertaining way.  P3 ENTERTAINMENT, a New York City-based production company specializing in high-end digital and broadcast production, will direct and produce the series that will be 
available to fans through social media channels and on MLBFanCave.com. Last month, MLB revealed the nine “Cave Dwellers” – Ashley Chavez, Benjamin Christensen, Lindsay Guentzel, Shaun Kippins, Gordon Mack, Ricardo Marquez, Ricky Mast, Eddie Mata and Kyle Thompson – who will begin the season in the Fan Cave, watch every single MLB game each day, and chronicle their experiences via social media (bios here).  Throughout the season, Cave Dwellers will be eliminated until a winner is crowned by the end of the 2012 World Series.
The MLB Fan Cave will also be the remote studio home for a number of national television and radio shows throughout the season. For Opening Week, ESPN’s popular national show Mike & Mike in the Morning (starring Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic, 6-10am ET) will conduct its show live from the Fan Cave on April 4 & 5, the mornings of Opening Night and Opening Day, respectively.  Also on April 5, MLB Network’s Intentional Talk (starring Chris Rose and Kevin Millar, 5-6pm ET) will shoot its show live from the Cave.Throughout the season, the MLB Fan Cave and the Cave Dwellers will contribute via social media and make weekly appearances on the MLB Player Poll, a new show by MLB Productions airing Saturdays during the regular season on FOX.
