KANNAPOLIS, N.C. – As baseball fans continue the countdown to Opening Day, the Cannon Ballers have revealed their much-anticipated 2023 promotional schedule. Filled with returning favorites and new entertaining thrills, the calendar features fun in the form of theme nights, premium merchandise giveaways, fireworks shows and on-and-off-the-field entertainment.
The Ballers begin their home schedule at Atrium Health Ballpark, honored as Ballpark Digest’s 2022 Ballpark of the Year, on Tuesday, April 18 at 6:00 p.m. against the Charleston RiverDogs. Opening Night in Kannapolis will conclude with a bang as the team lights up the night sky with fireworks for the first of 15 total post-game shows in 2023. Cannon City will entertain fans with Post-game Fireworks after every Saturday home game, Opening Night, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day Weekend and Thursday, May 4.
Fans will be eager to arrive at the ballpark early for each of the seven planned giveaways, including the yearly sought-after Cannon Ballers-themed Hawaiian Shirt giveaway on Friday, June 23.
