2018 Schedule Details
The 2018 Bisons schedule will have only 10 April home games in 2018, a decrease of four from this past Spring. The slate of games will feature 33 home dates on either a Friday, a Saturday or a Sunday, nearly half (47%) of the team's 70-game home schedule. The club also has 43 home games from June-August, a game increase from the team's 2017 schedule.
In 2018, the International League has reduced the number of games for all teams from 142 down to 140. It's the second straight year the IL has reduced the schedule by removing one road game and one home game from all teams. No further schedule decreases are planned.
