Blue Wahoos Announce 2019 Promotional Calendar

The 2018 Southern League Organization of the Year and Southern League Community Service Award winning Pensacola Blue Wahoos will look to do even more for their fans and their community in 2019, ushering in a new era at Blue Wahoos Stadium with a new Major League affiliate, numerous ballpark upgrades and renovations, and a newly announced promotional schedule full of unforgettable moments and family fun throughout the season.
Every game day will be a celebration at Blue Wahoos Stadium with a full slate of weekly promotions at the ballpark. The Blue Wahoos will begin each week by honoring local military members and helping local non-profits raise money through a dual Military Mondays and Giveback Mondays promotion. During the 2018 season, over $28,000 was raised for local non-profits through in-stadium fundraising at Blue Wahoos Stadium.
Fan-favorite Fat Tuesdays will be back in 2019, offering fans dinner and a show for a rock bottom low price. For just $24, fans will be able to get a ticket to the Winn-Dixie Party Deck, a 90-minute pre-game buffet dinner, unlimited soda and water throughout the game, and a free Blue Wahoos hat.
On Wednesdays, the Blue Wahoos will engage with fans in new and creative ways through Social Media Wednesdays promotions, allowing fans to enhance their game day experience by interacting with Wahoos players and staff and win great prizes through the team's social media accounts.
Thirsty Thursdays return in 2019, offering fans great drink specials at happy hour prices throughout the stadium.
Each Friday throughout the season will be Giveaway Friday again this season, sending the first 2,000 fans home with an exclusive Blue Wahoos giveaway item at the gates. With 10 Giveaway Fridays scheduled for 2019, some of the exciting items fans will have the opportunity to receive include a Bud Light #DillyDilly Foam Shield on May 17, a Pensacola Beach Towel on May 31, and a Landshark Margaritaville Bobblehead on August 16.
The Blue Wahoos will light up Pensacola Bay with fireworks spectaculars throughout the 2019 season, including after all 11 Saturday home games for Fireworks Saturday nights and six additional mid-week fireworks shows.
Kids will be able to take the field just like the Wahoos players each Sunday for Family Sundays with post-game kids run the bases and the opportunity for families to play catch in the outfield.
In addition to the repeating weekly promotions, the Blue Wahoos have scheduled a season full of immersive promo nights combining themed food and drink specials, costumes, in-game contests and music, giveaways, and specialty jerseys to continue to provide fans with their award-winning game day experience.

The Wahoos will go back in time for Summer of '69 Night on August 17 for a night of moon landings, Woodstock performances, and fauxback Blue Wahoos 60's uniforms.
