FAN GUIDE: Fan Appreciation Night
Gratitude and giveaways!
It's time again for the bittersweet Bisons tradition of Fan Appreciation Night, presented by the Aesthetic Associates. The final home game of the 2016 season is Thursday, September 1 as the Bisons host the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders at Coca-Cola Field (6:05 p.m.).
We all love this night, because of all that's included: One last Flying Bison Happy Hour (4:30 p.m.), Giveaways every half inning and of course and amazing postgame Fireworks Show! But, it's also a night we temporarily say good-bye to baseball in downtown Buffalo.
It may be the end of another great summer at Coca-Cola Field, but we are going to have one last party! So join us for a monumental sendoff. Here's your Aesthetic Associates Fan Appreciation Night FAN GUIDE!!
After all, don't you want to know how you could win a $1,000 gift card from 7-Eleven!!!
Tickets and Exchanges
CLICK HERE to get your tickets for Fan Appreciation Night! REMEMBER, if you order by Wednesday, you'll SAVE $2.00 on each ticket you buy.
And another friendly reminder for those looking to exchange unused 2016 flex tickets, any unexpired ticket vouchers or dated tickets from the Bisons' lone rainout of the season, Saturday, August 13…All exchanges must be made at the Coca-Cola Field Box Office . This is the last game you'll be able to make those exchanges for.
First Pitch/Gates/Will Call
The Bisons and RailRiders take the field at 6:05 p.m. but Coca-Cola Field's Inspire Dental Gate at Swan St. will OPEN AT THE SPECIAL TIME OF 4:30 p.m. All other gates will open at 5 p.m.
If you plan to use ballpark Will Call, it's also not a bad idea to leave a few minutes earlier to avoid longer lines, especially if you need to exchange undated flex tickets or rainout vouchers. The Coca-Cola Field Box Office will be open each day this week from 9:00 a.m. until the end of the Bisons game that night.
Fans should also be aware that all bags will be checked upon entering Coca-Cola Field gates and additional time will be needed for searches. CLICK HERE for all Coca-Cola Field security procedures and carry-in policies.
One Last Happy Hour!
The Bisons are opening the Inspire Dental Gate at Swan St. early for a special Flying Bison HAPPY HOUR. The great fridaynigthbash! tradition comes to Fan Appreciation Night as you can enjoy great tasting craft beers for only $3 from 4:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. at the Consumer's Craft Corner. So, get this great event started a little early and join us at the Flying Bison Happy Hour.
Pre-Game Ceremonies start at 5:30 p.m.
You'll want to set up shop in your seat by 5:30 p.m. to enjoy all the pre-game festivities. As customary, the Bisons will announce all their end of season awards, such as the Most Valuable Player, Pitcher of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, Hometown Hero and Most Inspirational Player as well as the Fan of the Year.
