(Fort Mill, SC) - With two thrilling fireworks shows, a Country Western Night, the 3rd Annual Mystery Ball Night, and other great promotions and collectible giveaways mixed in, the final six-game homestand in Knights Stadium history is set to be a historic send-off to the stadium's legendary 24-year run in Fort Mill, SC.  

Baseball returns to Knights Stadium on Wednesday, August 28 as the Knights will host the Norfolk Tides in game one of a three-game series. Gates open at 6:00 p.m. with first pitch scheduled for 7:15 p.m. It's VIC Card Wednesday and all fans can receive two field box tickets for the price of one by showing their VIC Card at the Knights Stadium Box Office, thanks to Harris Teeter and Kellogg's.

One night later, the Knights will host their final "Flashback Friday" event of the season and the first 1,000 fans that come out to the 7:15 p.m. game will receive a Knights Hat, courtesy of Founders Federal Credit Union. Friday is also "Social Media Knight" and all fans in attendance will have the opportunity to win some great prizes via the Knights social media pages (Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram). Also on Friday, fans can bid on game-worn, autographed Knights jerseys with a portion of the proceeds to benefit the JDRF Charlotte Chapter.

The beautiful KnightinGals -- the Knights official dance team, will make their final appearance of the season on Saturday. The girls will dance to country music as part of the evening's Country Western Night, presented by Saddle Up Saloon and Dancehall. After the game on Saturday, the Knights will hold their first of two consecutive fireworks shows, thanks to BB&T Ballpark and News Talk 1110 WBT. 

On Sunday, the Knights will host the Braves in a special 7:15 p.m. game.
