The inflatable fun of the Kids Zone will be up and running along with one of the latest additions to the PNC Field experience, a boardwalk-like frog bog game known as RibbitRiders. Throughout the practice, fans of all ages will be encouraged to check out every angle of the ballpark, including trying to catch a home run ball or two.

The RailRiders' 2014 season begins on Thursday, April 3 when the club kicks off a seven-game road trip at Syracuse against the Chiefs (Washington Nationals).The home slate commences a week later on Thursday, April 10 when the Chiefs visit PNC Field for a four-game series and homestand.
