Seven-Game Homestand Coming Up at The Joe
CHARLESTON, SC - The Charleston RiverDogs will open a seven-game homestand at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park on Tuesday, April 29 after their week-long road trip ends over the weekend. This homestand, which runs through Monday, May 5, includes visits from the Augusta GreenJackets and the Delmarva Shorebirds.
Tuesday, April 29, 7:05 pm: The homestand begins with Harris Teeter 2-for-$20 Date Night Tuesday, presented by Nash FM, as well as Super Hero Night. Couples that show their VIC Card at the box office receive two tickets to the game, two tacos, two fountain drinks, and one nacho tray for just $20. Charlie T. RiverDog needs some "super" help on Super Hero Night to protect Charleston from certain doom. The Joker has escaped from Gotham City and has taken refuge in The Joe, and it's up to Charlie to thwart his diabolical plans. Charlie will need to turn a young fan into his sidekick to help him stop the Joker and save the day.

Seniors Eat Free as all senior citizens (age 65 & older) that arrive at The Joe before 11 am receive a voucher for a free hot dog, chips, and a fountain drink, courtesy of HealthSouth.
