Not only are the Mud Hens the defending IL West Division Champions, but Toledo has been ranked THE BEST Minor League city in the United States (thanks Liveability.com)! Can it get any better? You bet. Here is the 2019 Mud Hens promotional schedule (well, not all of it, we're saving some surprises for later). Let's get started…
• Opening Day & Summer Opening Day - April 4 & June 8 Doubleheader: It's Opening Day! Shout it from Fleetwood's Rooftop, and mark it on your calendar: Thursday, April 4! But wait, this day is sooooo fun we're celebrating it again on Saturday, June 8 at our new 'Summer Opening Day! Kickoff the season on April 4 with rooftop parties, Opening Day Brewfest in the Home Run Terrace, and the rockin' Hensville Block Party. Then do it all over again on Saturday, June 8. The 'Summer Opening Day' doubleheader on June 8 will feature inflatables, fireworks, live music, and a special guest appearance by the high-energy driven balancing act, the Amazing Tyler. Ticket packages with both 'Opening Days' are available now (that's three games for the price of two!).
• Rock 'N' Blast - July 3: Salute the U.S.A. at the July 3 Rock 'N' Blast Mud Hens game and fireworks show. If you have never seen a postgame firework show, THIS IS THE ONE. The Rock 'N' Blast postgame fireworks extend around the ballpark to create a visual performance unlike any other! The 20-minute show, synced to music, features fireworks shooting from the Fifth Third Field warning track and Monroe Street. You have to see it to believe it.

The end of season 'Inflatables Festival' will feature 15 inflatable games in Hensville Park and on St. Clair Street! Plenty of fun for the adult who still wants to be a kid, and the kid who just wants to play, play, play.
