SDCC: MTV2 hosts a Party in the Park

For the fourth year in a row, MTV will be bringing a panel for their hit Teen Wolf show to Comic Con as well as a host of other things to see and do as a part of their first ever Party in the Park.

The Party in the Park is one of the coolest things I’ve heard of so far at this year’s Comic Con and will actually take place in the home of the San Diego Padres (Petco Park) on the opening night of the SDCC. Fans will be able to go down onto the field and engage in all kinds of cool MTV themed stuff, and as a baseball fan, that’s awesome.

The Party in the Park is open to all SDCC badge holders on July 18th and will feature free food and drink as well as musical performances. There’ll also be the live taping of the new Guy Code Honors show, which’ll be breaking down the whole show and feature the cast of Teen Wolf.

But that’s not all as there’s scheduled to be stuff to do all weekend long, including the Teen Wolf panel and a selection of ‘on air’ coverage that’ll be airing on MTV2. Here’s what you can look forward to, on air and off from the MTV2 Geekend:
