Captains Three- Game Home Stand Features Christmas in July, Thursday Night Fireworks & Bobble Head Giveaway
(Eastlake, OH) - As a thank you for the tremendous amount of time and effort that area police officers and firefighters put in to make the Republican National Convention a safe, successful event for Northeast Ohio, the Lake County Captains are proud to offer a free ticket to any law enforcement officer or firefighter which can be redeemed for any of the Captains next three home games from July 27 - 29.
In addition to the free ticket for law enforcement or firefighters, the Captains will also offer a $5 ticket (50% discount) for any family members or guests accompanying them to the game.
Captains General Manager Neil Stein said, "We are extremely privileged to have tremendous law enforcement officials and firefighters not only here in our city and Lake county, but also in the entire region. This was on display for the entire country and world over the past week and we'd like to do our small part in thanking these public servants by treating them to a night out and a ballgame on us."
The Lake County Captains, the Class A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians, will begin a three-game home stand on Wednesday, July 27th when the South Bend Cubs (Chicago Cubs) visit Classic Park.
Wednesday is a special 11:00 AM start and many summer camps will be in attendance. Gates will open at 10:00 AM.
The home stand continues with Thirsty Thursday and will feature a 25-cent Beer Happy Hour for one hour before game time and half-price domestic draft beer until 9 PM and half-price soda all game long. As part of Thirsty Thursday, the Captains will offer an all-you-can eat wing and pizza buffet outside the Corona Castaways Bar for only $15.
Thursdays also feature ticket discounts for seniors, college students and military personnel. Any fan, who presents a college or military ID at the box office, will be able to purchase a $5 ticket for that evening's game. Thursday's gates will open at 5:30 PM followed by the 7:00 first pitch. The theme for Thursday and Friday is Christmas in July.
Thursday is a special Thursday Night Fireworks show presented by The Center for Dental Health. Thursday's firework show will be set to Christmas music to coincide with the Christmas in July theme. The man in the big red suit will also be making an appearance both Thursday and Friday at Classic Park.
The home stand is wrapped up on Friday as the Christmas in July theme continues. Santa's little helpers will be passing out "A Captains Story" themed bobble heads to the first 1,500 fans that pass through the gates. Friday night is another Friday Night Fireworks Show presented by Highland Springs. The show will be accompanied once again by Christmas music. First pitch will be at 7PM with gates opening 90-minutes prior at 5:30.
