The GreenJackets experienced some of their larger crowds in 2011 on Thirsty Thursdays. This season, there will be eight Thirsty Thursdays, presented by The Library, with the first coming on April 26th vs. Kannapolis.
In addition, 2012 will be marked by the return of several popular theme nights from past seasons.

Tuesdays will again be Two-For-Tuesdays with select drinks being available at two-for-one pricing. Wednesdays will feature the return of Bi-Lo Baseball Bingo, with great prizes being available all game long.
