Brycen Moore, General Manager of the Evansville Otters, grew up in Newburgh. He shares his favorite ways to get out and explore.
You work at Bosse Field, so you see the city’s love of sports up close. What do you think sports mean to Evansville residents?
Sports are such a big aspect of the community. We are approached by fans who have come to not only Otters’ games, but Braves’, Triplets’, and other teams that have played at historic Bosse Field. As one of those people, Bosse Field and the Otters hold a special place in my heart. I can remember going to University of Evansville Aces games at Roberts Stadium. Sports has such a great way to bring people from all walks of life together, and you can see that epitomized here.
What kinds of recreation do you enjoy in your free time?
My sister plays volleyball at the University of Southern Indiana, so I try to watch her games in the fall. In the winter, I coach a feeder basketball team of students from Castle North and South Middle Schools and watch Aces and USI basketball. When I have time in the summer, I love to golf as much as possible. I have always had such a passion to golf, and Evansville offers a lot of great and affordable courses to get out and play. After work, I love to get out and exercise and walk. Between the riverfront walkway and the Pigeon Creek Greenway Passage, there are really good options to get out and walk to clear my mind and get some good exercise in.
What are some under-the-radar places or ways to have fun while being active?
It is not so under-the-radar anymore, but I enjoy pickleball quite a bit. The trails and parks here are top notch and should be utilized more.
