“It is a year-long effort for us to develop and execute promotions that are attention grabbing. We have a great collection of corporate partners committed to providing the tri-state community a wide scope of entertainment via Minor League baseball,” said president and general manager Tony Buccilli. “Whether it is a giveaway, one of our many programs or fan favorite Fireworks Fridays; our goal is to make every night at the ballpark special and unique. No other team in this region provides the hometown feel or promotional outreach like the Wild Things.”
The summer gets off and running with the home opener, scheduled for Tuesday, May 13. It’ll be the first official Wild Things game on the new FieldTurf playing surface and much more celebration will be had at the ballpark that night.
