2018 Promotional Schedule

LAKE ELSINORE, Calif. - The Lake Elsinore Storm are excited to reveal the 2018 promotional schedule as the club's 25^th Season, presented by John Hine Temecula Subaru, quickly approaches Opening Night at The Diamond.
This year's promotional schedule will reflect on 25 seasons of Storm history in Lake Elsinore, with giveaways planned to celebrate the past, as well as former Storm player appearances, the Return of the Rally Cop and much more.
The celebration will continue on the field throughout the season as well, where the team will wear replica jerseys from the inaugural '94 season every Saturday, concluding August 18^th when those game-worn throwbacks will be auctioned off.
A nice touch of fresh ideas, like Adjust Your Attitude Night, OJ Simpsons Night and 9 Inning Fiancé will mix with traditional celebrations Storm fans have grown accustomed to, such as GEEKend and Hispanic Heritage Weekend to give the fans a balance of the old with the new.
Family Game Night will lead-off the promotional schedule on April 28. The night will pay homage to some of the great traditional family board games and game shows many of us enjoyed during our childhood.
Fans are welcome to join the Storm in celebration of one of the great comedies of the '90s…"The Big Lebowski", which turns 20 this year, will get it's salute at The Diamond on Thursday, June 28.
The weekend of June 1-3 will be a fun one with the celebration of Hispanic Heritage and an 18^th birthday party for the Storm's lovable green dog, Thunder, on June 2. Thunder has invited over 40 mascots to attend his party and it should be his biggest fiesta yet.
GEEKend5, a staple to Lake Elsinore's promotional schedule, will be June 14-17 and will once again raise funds for the San Diego Blood Bank. Get your nerd on with Superhero Night, Star Wars Night (which includes a Black Trooper hat giveaway presented by San Diego Blood Bank) and Gamer Day. Give back while you're at the ballpark, with our annual blood drive and donate to the raffle for a chance to win a Playstation 4 and more. Don't forget to bring dad out on June 17 for Father's Day.
Celebrate Independence Day by taking in America's Favorite Pastime with the Storm on July 4. Not only will we play baseball, but there will be a Joey Chestnut-style hot dog eating contest and the largest post-game fireworks show of the season.
Come back to the ballpark the next night for Lucky Loser: Part-Twozer, where you can turn your misfortune around. Fans that bring items like bad report cards, traffic tickets, college rejection letters, court summons and much more will be eligible for ticket discounts.
Make it three in a row as we celebrate Storm history July 6 by reliving the Top 25 most memorable on-field promotions at The Diamond. Then get your 25^th Season t-shirt on July 7, presented by John Hine Temecula Subaru.
Baseball traditionalists can once again take in a Storm game in its purest form on Nothing Night, July 9. There will be no ticket sales, no concessions, no PA, no music and no in-game entertainment of any kind; just solely baseball. The night will also be poorly promoted (because it's Nothing Night), so mark it on your calendars now.

A play on the popular TLC reality show 90 Day Fiancé the night will feature 9 Inning Fiancé, and will be centered around two unfamiliar fans who have yet to be chosen. Will they fall in love?
Lake Elsinore's parent club, the San Diego Padres, have recently made headlines when one of the team's all-time greats was elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. The Storm will honor #51 on the 51^st home game of the season, July 20. Join us for HOFfman Night and get a replica Trevor Hoffman jersey, presented by the Lake Elsinore Casino. We like to think he's part of Storm history as well. After all, he did log three shutout innings in a Lake Elsinore uniform in 2003.
Are you a fan of mascots? If you answered 'yes', then July 21 is a can't-miss. Take home a double bobble head of Thunder and his little sidekick, Mini-Thunder, sponsored by Copia Wealth Management.

Join us July 29 for Adjust Your Attitude Night, featuring a mood ring giveaway and mood ring-based pricing on concession and team store items.

You might have read earlier our Tribute to OJ Simpsons Night as raised an eyebrow, but we promise it's not what you think.

Don't miss a great tradition to conclude the season on September 3. Everything Night will feature every fan-favorite ticket deal, in-game promotion and giveaway from the entire season. The action-packed, giveaways-galore night is always one worth circling on your calendar.
