Tonight's Fireworks Display Cancelled

Game Still On As Scheduled
August 5, 2011
The Tulsa Drillers announced this morning that the Fireworks Show scheduled for after Friday's game at ONEOK Field has been cancelled due to the burn ban that covers the entire state of Oklahoma. The cancellation has occurred after the local Fire Marshall mandated no public fireworks displays be conducted.

Fans holding tickets for tonight's game, whether used or not, may redeem them for like tickets to any other regular season game in 2011, including the two remaining Fireworks Shows. Those shows are scheduled for Friday, August 19 and Friday, September 2.

Those attending tonight's game may make this exchange at the Guest Services Window throughout the evening.

"We hope that everyone will understand the Fire Marshall's decision to prohibit the display," said General Manager Mike Melega. "We know that many of our fans look forward to our Friday Night Fireworks promotion, but with the recent home fires in the Tulsa area, we realize the Marshall's concern."

Friday's game for the Drillers begins a four-game series with the Springfield Cardinals that will run through Monday, August 8 at ONEOK Field. All four games are scheduled to start at 7:05PM.
