The Pacific Coast League continues its use of an unbalanced 144-game schedule format in 2013. The Redbirds will play 16 games (eight home, eight away) against teams in their own conference. Memphis will host each of the four Pacific Conference Southern Division teams - Sacramento, Fresno, Tucson, and Las Vegas - in four-game series at AutoZone Park. The Redbirds will travel to each of the four Pacific Northern clubs - Colorado Springs, Reno, Salt Lake, and Tacoma - for four-game sets.
The Redbirds are proud to continue to be the best and most affordable sports and entertainment value in Memphis. Season ticket plans are currently available for $700 per seat, which breaks down to just $9.72 per game - a savings of $6.28 over day-of-game pricing.
Season tickets, mini-plans, and group outing packages are currently on sale. Contact the Redbirds at (901) 721-0299 or click here for more information.
The 2013 season will be the Redbirds' 16th year as the St. Louis Cardinals' top affiliate in the Pacific Coast League. The 2013 promotional schedule will be released at a later date.
