With high temperatures forecasted for Central PA this weekend, the State College Spikes will allow fans to bring in outside water in order to stay hydrated during Saturday and Sunday's games at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.
Fans will be allowed to bring their water supply through the main ballpark gates at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park, which will open to the public at 6 p.m. for Saturday's 7:05 p.m. game and 5 p.m. for Sunday's 6:05 p.m. game, both against the Williamsport Crosscutters (Philadelphia Phillies).

The National Weather Service has released an Excessive Heat Warning through 8 p.m. Saturday. Other prohibitions on outside food will remain in place for this weekend's games.
The homestand begins with a special event on Saturday, as with thousands are interested in storming Area 51 on September 20, the State College Spikes will give fans a chance to get some practice by storming Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.
Like the infamously secret Air Force base in Nevada, the Spikes home game will feature out-of-this-world experiences that have never been seen before, like 51-cent hot dogs. Unlike the real Area 51, though, the Spikes are making it easier to storm the ballpark with outfield bleacher seats available for just $5.10.
Signs of previous visits to Earth from those outside our world will also be displayed on the Medlar Field at Lubrano Park video board, giving stormers the chance to "see them aliens" throughout the night.
In addition, the Spikes' nightly 50/50 Raffle will change for one night to the 51/49 raffle, with 51% of the proceeds going to the SETI Institute, which searches the universe for extraterrestrial life.
Plus, select fans will be chosen for a "Naruto run" competition to get some practice in before September.
More highlights of the homestand include Astronomy Night and a Moon Landing 50th Anniversary Celebration to go with Senior (55+) Prom Night featuring "A Night Under the Stars" Post-Game Senior (55+) Dance on Saturday, Paint the Park Purple Night featuring a post-game FIREWORKS show presented by Home Instead, Juniper Village and Grane Hospice Care on Sunday, and a Monday Buck Night presented by 95.3 FM 3WZ.
Tickets for all three games from Saturday to Monday, as well as every game on the 2019 home schedule, are currently on sale through the Spikes Ticket Office. Tickets can be purchased by calling (814) 272-1711 or by visiting the Ticket Office in person from 9 a.m. to the end of the game on gamedays Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to the end of the game on gamedays Saturday and Sunday, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on non-gamedays Monday through Friday.
