May 25, 2016

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - In conjunction with the FedEx St. Jude Classic, the annual PGA TOUR event held June 6-12 at TPC Southwind in Memphis, the Memphis Redbirds will turn AutoZone Park into an extension of the course during their game on Friday, June 3 against New Orleans at 7:05 p.m. (CT).

For $30, fans may purchase a Theme Ticket that includes a Field Box ticket for the Redbirds game and a one-day ticket to the golf tournament, which is valued at $30.

The first 1,000 fans to the game will receive a special "Hush Y'All/Loud Y'All" paddle, courtesy of the FedEx St. Jude Classic.

The Redbirds players and coaches will wear one-of-a-kind golf-themed jerseys and hats, which will be auctioned after the game with proceeds benefitting the Redbirds Community Fund. Fans are encouraged to dress up and wear golf gear to the game, and there will be unique golf games, activities and contests throughout the game.

In addition, the game will feature a special Friday edition of postgame fireworks, presented by ServiceMaster.

"We are proud to partner with this premiere event in the city of Memphis and the region as a whole," Redbirds President and General Manager Craig Unger said. "FedEx and St. Jude do so much for our community each and every day, and we are very excited to add some Memphis Redbirds flair and get people excited for the golf tournament. Our firework shows this season have received great reviews, and we are excited to be able to add a show on a Friday night as well."

"Partnering with the Memphis Redbirds and ServiceMaster for the first-ever FedEx St. Jude Classic theme night is a great way to promote our upcoming event," Tournament Director Darrell Smith said. "We hope fans will take advantage of the special Theme Ticket and join us for these two Memphis sporting traditions."

"We're excited to team up with the Memphis Redbirds and the St. Jude Golf Classic, two of our longtime community partners, to bring baseball and golf fans together for a fun night at the ballpark," said Peter Tosches, Chief Communications Officer with ServiceMaster. "We're also inviting our employees to join us for the game and fireworks -- just a way to show our appreciation for all of their hard work and dedication."

It is also Replica Cardinals 1946 World Series Ring Night, and the first 1,500 fans will receive the giveaway at the gate.

The next Redbirds homestand runs May 31-June 3 against New Orleans. All games start at 7:05 p.m.
