2023 Tacoma Rainiers home schedule, with game times
SIGNATURE FUN
- Throwback Weekend, April 22-23 vs. El Paso: On Saturday, “Slammin’ Sam the South Sound Salmon” returns, as the Rainiers don their wildly popular “Faux-back” uniforms for the first of six times in 2023. The cream-colored set imagines what the Rainiers would look like had that been the franchise’s name when Cheney Stadium opened in 1960. On Sunday, “A Blast from R Past” will take fans back to the early days of the “Rainiers” moniker and the beginning of the club’s affiliation with the Seattle Mariners (1995). A throwback uniform on the field, featuring plenty of “Northwest Green” will pair great with a gate giveaway: The first 1,000 inside Cheney on Sunday will receive a 1990s retro “mountain” snapback cap. The game-worn Northwest Green jerseys will be available to bid on in a silent auction during Sunday’s game.
- Copa de la Diversión: “La Familia de Tacoma” is back for five dates in 2023; Copa de la Diversión or “Fun Cup” is a season-long series of games specifically designed to embrace the culture and values that resonate with teams’ local U.S. Hispanic/Latino communities. Copa dates on 4/19, 5/27, 6/13, 7/28 and 9/1 include a $20 ticket package presented by BECU which includes concessions, a souvenir hat and “Copa Happy Hour” at R Bar in left field. $5 from every package goes to Sea Mar Community Health Centers.
- Salute to Armed Forces, Sunday, June 18 vs. Albuquerque: Fans are encouraged to arrive at their seats early for a special pre-game ceremony, honoring our servicemen and servicewomen. Game-worn Rainiers jerseys will be available to bid on in a silent auction during the game, benefiting USO.
