The Trash Pandas weekly promotions lineup features many fan favorites from the team’s first two seasons, including Reeds Jewelers Ladies Night on Tuesdays, All You Can Eat and Dog Day Wednesdays, Pregame Happy Hour and Burgers and Buds Thursdays, postgame Fireworks Spectaculars on all Fridays and Saturdays, and ending with Kids Run The Bases after each Sunday home game.

Rocket City begins the season at home for the first time, with Opening Night at Toyota Field scheduled for Thursday, April 6 at 6:35 p.m. against the Chattanooga Lookouts. The opening three-game series features a Magnet Schedule Giveaway on April 6, as well as fireworks after all three games to start the 2023 season!
