2015 Promotional Schedule Released!
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - Dinosaurs. Vampires. Fire Trucks. Free Money. Those are just a few of the things you can expect to see at Cardinal Park in 2015.
With the season approaching quickly, the Johnson City Cardinals are excited to announce their official Promotional Schedule, highlighted by such events as Jurassic World Night, Teachers in the Bleachers, Free Money Friday, History & Hero Night and Vampire Appreciation Night!
"Last season we were able to add some new things to the atmosphere at Cardinal Park, and this season we are going to build off those and add in some crazy twists," added GM Tyler Parsons. "We are always striving to improve the fan experience here, and fans are really going to enjoy this year's promotions.
The 2015 season will also see the introduction of several new weekly promotions. Fans should be prepared to rock out every Tuesday, as Campbell's Music Tuneful Tuesday's make their debut. Every Tuesday will feature live music in the concourse before the game, with local artists being showcased. Hooter's Wing Wednesday's will feature special coupons, wing eating contests and wild promotions. And also making a debut in 2015 will be Old South Thirsty Thursday's. Every Thursday fans will be treated to $2 beer specials at Cardinal Park, and at Old South following the game!
The first Old South Thirsty Thursday will kick off the 2015 season, as it's scheduled for the home opener on June 25th!
While the Cardinals season starts in late June, there will still be plenty of action in the month. June 26th will feature the annual Bark in the Park game, while June 27th will be one of the biggest promotions of the year with Jurassic World Night! The Cardinals will wear special T-Rex themed jerseys and Cardinal Park will get prehistoric as we pay tribute to the summer blockbuster from Universal Studios.
Sunday, June 28th will see the return of one of Johnson City's favorite promotions, as the Cardinals team up with 88.3 WCQR for their Faith and Family Concert. This year's artist will be nationally acclaimed solo artist Blanca, who is fresh off the Winter Jam tour.

Bank of Tennessee Dollar Monday's are also back by popular demand, with the first one scheduled for July 6th.

July will be full of crazy promotions, starting with Free Money Friday on July 17th.
