Earlier this year, the Drive and The Blood Connection banded together to celebrate their decade long partnership to impact the Upstate's community. At that time, the Drive set a goal to collect 356 units of blood over the course of 6 blood drive events held at the stadium. Thursday night, we’ll reveal the results of that campaign and celebrate those that dedicated their time and energy to donate!

Thursday is also Dollar Drink Night at Fluor Field, and the drinks will be flowing all night long! $1 Fountain Pepsi products (available in the concession stands), $2 Coors Light, and $3 Terrapin Los Bravos and Sweetwater 420, starting when gates open at 4 PM. Cheers!

Make sure to grab your alcohol wristband at the red tablecloths at either end of the concourse before you head to the beer carts.

Saturday August 27th: Gates open at 6 PM, First pitch at 7:05 PM

Saturday night come out to see BirdZerk! BirdZerk is “America’s Ballpark Prankster,” and a true ​entertainment whirlybird, with more tricks up his feathers than Houdini.

Spontaneous, outrageous, cool and unpredictable, he plays to the crowd with comedic routines honed through hundreds of appearances at ballparks and arenas around the world.

Whether BirdZerk! is pulling off hijinks with the players and coaches, harassing the umpires and officials, or funnin' with the crowd, the lovable jokester’s zany antics always leave them laughing and begging for more. But he is rarely alone, as BirdZerk! often travels with his hilarious sidekicks BabyZerk!, DogZerk!, Zerk! Jr., and BallZerk!. This is a can’t miss night!

Thirst Inning is back again - $2 Bud Light, Budweiser, and Michelob Ultras during the first inning at the Budweiser Beer Carts on the concourse at first and third base.

Sunday August 28th: Gates open at Noon, First pitch at 3:05 PM
